    Pre-amp vs amp

    Would an 8 bay in pointed in opposite directions work well too? In other words, one aimed at Buffalo and southwest, and one north and east towards Rochester? Possibly a pre-amp could help stabilize and potentially pick up other stations? I'm also considering this type of setup: channel master...

    This is so wrong......

    Unfortunately I bought one of those "P.o.s" antennas a couple years ago... I actually used it indoors. Half of the time the so called rotor would stop and not move, and you literally had to break the thing to get it to move again. I'd hate to think what would've happened if I used it outside...

    I miss DX'ing TV stations

    Just reading this post has gotten me pretty darn excited to get my setup up and running. I also have a zenith 901, and for good measure I also have a Tivax STB-T8. I bought them both when I was using a couple of older indoor amplifieds, and each worked amazingly well.

    Pre-amp vs amp

    Unfortunately, I don't have a signal meter, and I'm going to have it professionally installed, of which I need to find an installer. It's going to be replacing a directv setup, so I'll be using that existing cable which is run into 3 separate rooms, however, I'm only using 2 of the lines. One...

    Pre-amp vs amp

    I'm looking to shoot for both VHF and UHF. I've been using a small indoor "homemade" antenna, and while doing a scan, a good share of the real channels appears, but obviously not strong enough to get a picture. It'll stop on a particular channel, for example real 12, which is out of Erie. I'd...

    Pre-amp vs amp

    OK. I'm potentially going to add an outdoor antenna on my roof. Thinking about going with the winegard HD stacker as my choice. Since I rent where I live, I thought this would be a better option due to it's size, and from what I have seen it has gotten very good reviews. From what I have been...

    Shaw doesnt give you all the locals anymore?

    Glad I saw this...just recently got my internet back after a 10 month hiatus...so what's next with Shaw then? They might as well close up shop. things are getting more ridiculous each day. I suppose 5.04 extra a month is a drop in the hat to keep the timeshifting

    Orlando PBS Station WMFE going off the air

    PBS in and above is such a viable service, and it's really sad when almost all of them have to rely on begging for help to stay afloat - sometimes it's all I watch - depends on what's on

    purchasing older box

    I just bought a used H20, so with this being said, so, it should work with a SWM setup. I'm calling Monday :)

    cancelled Sports Pack still showing

    Crazy thought, but did you try to refresh your receiver?

    I "moved" about 1 year ago and my account is now referred to Directv fraud department.

    Just have to get the right CSR at Directv to help with your "move", pack your bags, and you're good to go :)

    Question about "moving" using conus

    I understand about the whole "moving" aspect, but my question is can you move to a transponder thats on conus if its within the proper radius mile wise?

    DSR505 Tuner 1 Not Authorized

    sounds like you're having almost the same issue that I am - the only thing is I'm getting CTV HD and nothing else...I also posted on canadian sat forums, but not much of a response there either - someone asked my signal strengths, and that's it...

    Solar flare affecting Anik F2

    Are you still having issues with missing channels? All I am able to get is CTV HD - everything else is still either "subscription required", or "acquiring satellite signal"
