    Shopping For A New TV

    I see now. Saratoga Springs area. Have been there a couple of times and not far from Bennington, VT. Obtaining OTA signals there is a challenge due to the mountains and large hills.

    Shopping For A New TV

    Do you mean Greenwich, CT? I am originally from CT and know about Greenwich which is in the far SW corner of the state and part of the NYC metro area. I did not know Greenwich had a TV station.

    Shopping For A New TV

    Thank you for replying to my question. Believe it or not, I actually heard from someone at LG and the 32 inch they have for sale right now has the Program Guide like my old model. Will be buying one. Sadly, when I contacted the Chat for Philips, they wanted $5 up front and then I would have...

    Shopping For A New TV

    I need to purchase a new TV. Just want a 32 inch. I only watch OTA signals and have no need to connect to any streaming service for watching channels. With that in mind, can anyone with some experience using newer TV's offer insight into which new models have a Channel Guide that will at...

    Old Alliance rotor repair

    Call Norm's in Birmingham, AL. They are still open and service lots of old rotors and also sell them. https://normsrotorservice.com

    Circle closing down at end of year

    Watch HEE HAW once in a while on that channel. Hopefully someone will pick it up and keep that show on the air. Enjoyed it a lot when I was a kid. Buck Owens and Roy Clark were great musicians.

    Recommendation for very strong UHF signal

    I did click on it. But you didn't mention what the screen shot was. I won't need my Worx Tuner then to determine the channel.

    Recommendation for very strong UHF signal

    I will only need one rotor. I do own three in case one goes down. Have two for backup.

    Recommendation for very strong UHF signal

    The FCC site has WGEM now using Ch. 22. Only way to find out is to use a tuner that shows the actual frequency of the channel. I have a DTV box that may be able to help. Will try that out.

    Recommendation for very strong UHF signal

    This is strange. Just checked the FCC website and noted KHQA does seem to be on UHF Ch. 22 now. But you are correct about WGEM being on Ch. 10. Saw this on the DTV Reception Maps site. Fortunately I have a few VHF antennas and I will start trying those to see how well they do.

    Recommendation for very strong UHF signal

    Ch. 7 and 10 are their old analog channel numbers. Both now have UHF assignments in HDTV.

    Recommendation for very strong UHF signal

    I can't figure out why Ch. 7 comes in better with less breakup off the backside of the Super G 1483. Figured it was Ch. 28 being nearby. Need to figure out a suitable replacement for the Super G 1483 then.

    Recommendation for very strong UHF signal

    Back to this topic. I purchased the home and have had a chance to test a couple of antennas on the property. More precise location for the search results now that I know where the antenna will be installed. https://www.rabbitears.info/s/1148817 The good news is that I am able to receive...

    Recommendation for very strong UHF signal

    Mike. I will consider it but bear in mind I like to DX. A rotor is far more effective for aiming for the strongest signal than a fixed antenna when you have a swarm of stations coming in some nights from a variety of directions. If I decide to put up two antennas to feed two TV's then this...

    Recommendation for very strong UHF signal

    Mike. This appears to be overkill for my application. I am planning to use a rotor and will only feed one TV. But the bigger issue is the need to significantly reduce or eliminate the Ch. 28 signal. Just how much signal strength will this reduce with Ch. 28? It's not clear to me in the...

    Recommendation for very strong UHF signal

    Thought of one more thing. For a couple of very weak signals in Keokuk (Ch. 14) and (Ch. 17) in Quincy, I was thinking that ganging a couple of UHF antennas might bring them in. A decade ago I lived outside of Kansas City and a Antennacraft HBU 55 on my roof was able to reliable catch two UHF...

    Recommendation for very strong UHF signal

    I am in the process of buying a home in a small town in Iowa. I did a Signal Analysis and noted a PBS translator in town is probably going to cause problems with out of town reception since I will need a pre amp to obtain most of the other signals that I would watch...

    Televes Pre amp Question

    Just purchased the following Pre amp. https://www.nesselectronics.com/products/televes-560382-single-input-antenna-preamp-lte-filter-coaxial-f-fitting-connections-automatic-gain-control-agc The plastic box seems kind of flimsy and the foam at the bottom where you route the coax cable into the...

    Antenna Recommendation

    Just installed the Televes single input pre amp and it turns out it works very well on UHF. Tested it at five foot ground level since my new install on the side of the home is more of a project to tackle when I have more time and some help. Noted with the Super G 1483 8 bay it received...

    Antenna Recommendation

    Yes. This is a better option at my new location. This will likely be what I use for a second install if needed. I just have a knack for buying single floor homes that are not well suited to antenna installations. No chimney or stink pipe for mounts there either.

    Antenna Recommendation

    Mike. Have run tests with two VHF Hi antennas so far. The Y-10-7-13 and the Newark deep fringe mentioned and both are catching the signals that I need but I do need a pre amp at least at five feet. Working on another idea for a guyed mast mount in the back yard also. Noted the peak of my...

    Antenna Recommendation

    Yeah, that is pretty much what I tried to tell this guy and he didn't get it. He thought that my testing different antennas and pre amps was a joke. He more or less said that. One size fits all mentality doesn't work for a lot of things including TV antennas and most anything where...

    Antenna Recommendation

    Looks like I will be doing the install by myself with a friend. Encountered a rather arrogant, insulting and know it all installer around 100 miles north of my location who apparently does not like my choice of antennas or desire not to put holes in my roof with a tripod mount or use a peak...

    Antenna Recommendation

    Mike. Good to know. I will be south of you in the Fort Wayne to Muncie, IN corridor. If it can withstand those temps, it should be fine. Are you in the UP?
