    Pixelation on local channels

    I've got a couple of Aerostars sitting in the driveway but the antenna is pointing the other direction. I'm not familiar with the term "aerostat". I'll try changing my lead-in coax when the weather cools some. It's way too hot in the attic right now.

    Pixelation on local channels

    I've been fighting this issue for years. My OTA locals are prone to pixelation because of my location. I'm close enough to the transmitter towers but there are several hills in my way. Some days are worse than others and I can find no rhyme or reason - sunny day, cloudy day, rainy day? I...

    The FCC Will Allow ABC, CBS, FOX, & NBC TV Stations to Shutdown Free ATSC 1.0 & Switch to ATSC 3.0 Only

    You'd need to go back before the Reagan administration to see where the FCC worked in the interest of the consumer.

    Explain the 3.0 debate (likely scenarios)

    How low do you want to? I've never missed smut being broadcast into my home over the airways (or over a streaming connection either). Different tastes I guess.

    Explain the 3.0 debate (likely scenarios)

    I for one enjoy my OTA "free" TV and hope it continues. There's no way I'm going to subscribe to half a dozen streaming services to watch what I want to watch. Seems like they all carry a different line up and I have no interest in trying to sort out which fits me. I've never seen or heard of...

    Nexstar wants to buy Tegna

    It's hitting me right here in river city also. This can't be good for consumers. Nexstar Media Group buying Tegna in deal worth $6.2 billion 3 channels in St. Louis will be owned by the same corporation (Fox & NBC). KTVI and KPLR share the same newsroom already. I suppose KSDK will lose...

    Nexstar wants to buy Tegna

    In my lifetime, bigger has never proved to be better. The lack of competition always results in higher prices and often less service because with no choices, where are you going to go? Gotcha!

    New OTA movie channel!

    My channel scan shows one of the channels that's on the list but when I tune to it, it shows a blank screen. There's nothing there in St. Louis, MO.

    Are there any small TVs for ATSC 3.0?

    I've been very happy with my ADTH NextGen TV box that connects to my TV using an HDMI cable. It receives OTA signals and gives you the choice of watching ATSC 1.0 or 3.0 broadcasts. The cost isn't bad either. Their customer support has been very good also. https://adth.com/products/

    Yet another ATSC 1 or 3 back and forth article

    I'm glad you asked about DVR. I just checked for updates and see the latest one says "Enable DVR". I just installed it but haven't tried connecting a hard drive yet. I see it has 5Gb of internal storage. Using an amplifier, I have very good signal strength (90%) but poor signal quality (+/-...

    Yet another ATSC 1 or 3 back and forth article

    I bought an ADTH-ATSC-3.0-Gateway in September of 2023 and I'm very happy with it. I'm in a very poor reception area with hills all around so there's no way I can get a good line of sight to the towers. I've got 3 tuners - one in my ViP 211k Dish receiver, one in the TV and the ADTH. Of the...
