    Antenna Advice

    You think that would work better than something like the cm-4228hd? Trying to pick up the 4 major networks and anything over that is gravy.

    Can't really see if i get any signal, its just not high enough to register on the autoscan. Might try the preamp route. If it doesnt work, at least I get all the austin channels. Thanks again Iceberg!

    That is the way i've pointed it. The austin stations come in anywhere from 75-100% on the tuner meter from the backside. I can receive 3 other waco stations (real channel 26, 44, 46) and 1 bryan station (real channel 50, which is 2 edge 100+ miles, hits around 72-75 on the signal meter!)...

    Hopper OTA Tuner Reviews Alternatives?

Shocked I can get the 2...

    New to OTA, looking for advice

    So I got the antenna (the 7694) set up in the attic, pointed towards Waco, picked up 26 channels. I am able to get all the major networks from austin and some from Waco, except for KCEN and KWTX in Waco. KCEN has Me-TV and This TV on virtual channels, which aren't on the Austin networks, so i'd...

    New to OTA, looking for advice

    So ended up just testing the old hanger on a coax cable method, to see what I can pick up before buying an antenna. Was able to get most of the green channels by putting the antenna in the attic. I was kinda surprised by this, based on the solar board used in the exterior walls. I am thinking...
