What is the correct forum for this topic? The closest I found was this one so far. Thanks.

I'm considering one of the 2 following options because most activity is on opposite sides of my house that has aluminum siding. I do get a lot of picket-fencing (mulitpath?) if I'm using that term correctly: 1) Combine the (RadioShack Model: 20-176) Outdoor VHF-Hi/UHF Scanner Antenna -...

My DIY UHF (HD) antenna photo, results, & gauge...3/32" I made one (UHF since there is no true HD) from the standard instructions that I found but don't recall the site. I used a 14 1/4" multi threaded copper spiraled wire that is covered in plastic I found at Lowes. I don't know what it is...

Update: I just tested the U-75R with HDTV 4 bay home-made antenna - 2 pics (First of all, I figured out the aluminum siding was reacting with the U-75R boom because it was touching it so I put it on a support from my old Satellite dish and now I get 5 more channels. it is also higher than my...

I got Sonic Voom and now DD sound. Still adjusting motor. What a great purchase. I couldn't find another way to do it without paying $179-$350 for a Home Theatre receiver or getting another Sat receiver. I did have to get a 6' 1/8" to double RCA cable to plug it into my TV which doesn't have...

5 more questions: It gets VHF, why? Aimed right? Grounding block? Connections?... Looks like I got really lucky getting that antenna. It seems to do more than advertised. I'll look at OTARD again, I only read the Satellite dish part when I put mine up. I'm in Adamstown, MD but we are a DC...

What kind of antenna is this old one that was given to me? (see photo attachment) I don't have any info on the model. It looks like the CM-2016HD but without the 2 long side bars. It seems like some type of Yagi. My antennaweb.org antenna type color rating shows 1 yellow channel, 3 blue and 7...

Thanks all! That's cool that a warped dish can get 2 satellites at once. It also got 95.0 W and 97.0 W before. 1) What is mux? 2) What is MCPC? Does it have to do with S/PDIF or AC3 or TosLink? That may have been where I saw it. 3) I have my new dish up and it gets only single satellites...

I have 3 questions but direct me to a more appropriate forum for the first one if needed: (*I think I found the answer to item #1 below: http://www.satelliteguys.us/free-air-fta-discussion/172058-pbs-sound-problems.html. It turns out my receiver has an S/PDIF optical pass-through outlet and by...

Hello all! I have 3 questions but direct me to a more appropriate forum for the first one if needed: 1) AMC 21: I get 12179/v/30001 (for PBS) at 36-46 quality. PBS World comes in great but there is no sound. In fact, there is no sound from about 10 of my 36 channels I get while aimed at AMC 21...
