Thank you Trip. Where can I find information on when the move will take place? I haven't been able to find anything, but I don't know that I really know where or what to look for. Thanks.

Trip, thank you for merging the threads. Where can I find a diagram or map showing me the current location and where they are being moved to?

I know this post is a bit old, but I am just getting back to this. I purchased an Antra AT-PAA28 mast-mounted pre-amp, but it did not seem to help. I do need to try turning the amplification up to see if it makes a difference, but I am thinking I need to get a different antenna. I am moving...

If this is not the right answer, is there a better option in the < $100 price range that will go on my mast without moving it?

I have been having trouble pulling in our local Fox/ABC affiliate. A lot of the relevant information for my situation is in the thread Antenna Changes. The issue is KWYB-LD is a low power translator broadcasting on UHF channel 19 (virtual 18). I currently have an RCA ANT751E. I tried a powered...

This is still very lame.

I live in a rural area. There are some other towers, but they are far away and difficult to pull in. See my rabbit ears from first post. I will try the preamp to see what happens. I would like to avoid moving the antenna as my roof is really high (25-30’) and still may not provide me with line...

Do the pics help answer my questions?

Hmm, unfortunately most of the TV shows we watch come from CBS.

I signed up for YTTV a few weeks ago. Overall I really like the service. It provides a pretty good lineup of channels for the price. There are a couple gaps (weather channel, NFL network), but I can live without those for the price. That said, while I do love the unlimited DVR, I am extremely...

I forgot to mention, not sure if it makes a difference, but all of my channels are broadcast from the same location. There are 4 transmitters, it’s just one of them is much less power than the others: KBZK - channel 13: 1.8 kW + 10.21 dB gain = 18.9 kW ERP KUSM - channel 8: 1.8 kW + 9.98 dB gain...

All, I really appreciate the input and responses. However, I still have some questions. Please humor my ignorance. 1) What is the difference between an amplifier and a preamplifier? Or are they the same thing? 2) since the powered splitter didn’t fix my issue, should I send it back and try...

Is that the right piece of equipment to purchase?

Is something like the Skywalker the way to go? Does it have to be mounted on on the "mast"? Or can I put it at my cable box?
