    Audio problem with OTA and 211

    I had the same thing happen when I got my new 211.Check your signal strength on the ota.Anything below 75% will have audio loss.Try adjusting your antenna. Nitehawk

    Happy with my new 211

    The roof antenna came down in a storm.I have it secured again.I'm pulling in between 90% and 100% I agree the 211 off air tuner is much better then the old 811.And the picture is more defined then before.I'm off to watch some games. Nitehawk
