    Bit Rate Errors - causes and fixes?

    Good info. If my CM7777HD ever craps out, I'll try this one :)

    Bit Rate Errors - causes and fixes?

    You missed what I said before about experimenting with other antennas with short cable runs and no splitters; see primestar31 post #21 I'm not saying the preamp is right for every application. You asked about possible fixes for your bitrate errors. I think it couldn't hurt to try the preamp...

    Bit Rate Errors - causes and fixes?

    Agree. If I could mount a larger, higher antenna, I could probably overcome the signal loss and eliminate the need for the preamp. But since I can't, and I'm limited to an attic install, I don't have a choice.

    Bit Rate Errors - causes and fixes?

    I agree with this. I think he thought I was implying that the preamp tunes in signals that aren't there; I know it doesn't. But in my case the cable length doesn't matter; I'm 40+ miles from my towers and without the preamp I get almost no channels. That's whether it's rabbit ears connected...

    Bit Rate Errors - causes and fixes?

    Don't need to watch a video. I've done countless experiments myself in various locations, using multiple antennas connected directly to tuners, with and without preamps. My evidence speaks for itself.

    Bit Rate Errors - causes and fixes?

    I'll let others who are wiser than me chime in here, but I think that's somewhat incorrect. Long run, short run, without the preamp I can't receive half of my stations.

    Bit Rate Errors - causes and fixes?

    I guess I would have to disagree. In my case, the preamp makes all the difference between receiving some stations and not receiving them at all.

    Bit Rate Errors - causes and fixes?

    If you're 50 miles from the towers, you probably want to integrate a preamp. This is what I use: https://www.channelmaster.com/products/amplify-adjustable-gain-preamplifier-cm-7777hd

    Bit Rate Errors - causes and fixes?

    They can be on the same tower but have different power :)

    Bit Rate Errors - causes and fixes?

    Probably just signal loss, which can be caused by different kinds of interference. I live 40 miles from my local towers and lightning can cause drop-out's. Trains passing by my house can cause them, too. So, "bitrate errors" is probably just signal loss.

    Bally Sports RSNs Are Reportedly Preparing For Bankruptcy

    Good commments here. Good to see that most people understand the issue here is Bally's, not Comcast. https://www.reddit.com/r/cordcutters/comments/1choj4i/cancelling_bally_sports_comcast_is_the_one_about/

    Bally Sports RSNs Are Reportedly Preparing For Bankruptcy

    I don't think it's hard. Once they reach the realization that "per sub fees" are going away, they can focus on putting the games back on OTA. Or maybe I'm just dreaming.

    Bally Sports RSNs Are Reportedly Preparing For Bankruptcy

    Comcast axed Bally Sports North last week. How are Twins fans adjusting? https://www.startribune.com/minnesota-twins-fans-comcast-bally-sports-fubo/600364021/ People are pissed, and rightfully so IMO.

    Bally Sports RSNs Are Reportedly Preparing For Bankruptcy

    Thanks. As I've said before, f**k Bally's and their expensive RSN concept. I used to be a baseball fan, but with these crybaby overpaid players and their a$$hole team owners, I no longer care. I tried to rally behind the A's when they decided to move to Las Vegas, but then their owner decides...
