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?

Oh, because they are transmitting at lower power than the other stations? I think I get it. Thanks.

In addition to the longer mast in my original post, I also purchased a powered splitter (Antennas Direct 4-Port TV Distribution Amplifier) and installed both today. I am seeing basically the same results. Attached is a screenshot of the signal strength from one of my TV's. Notice it is getting...

Ok, so the rear-most element isn't causing my issues. Will getting this longer mounting pipe help? Or do I need to get a signal booster? Am I losing too much signal through my splitter?

I forgot to ask, I am connecting 3 TV's and possibly a recording tuner to the antenna. Do I need to purchase a signal booster? I also have an Extreme Broadband Manufacturing BDS104H 4 Way HD Digital High Performance Coax Cable Splitter that I am using to split the signal. I have grounded the...

Here is a link to my rabbitears.info. I bought an RCA ANT751E in 2014. It has worked pretty well over that time. However, I have always had trouble pulling in KWYB-LD, even though the transmitter is located in the same spot as the other channels on the list. The other stations/channels at that...

I have seen a couple people post about this. What was this about? How come I never saw this offer?

The Sam's club deal is good. Costco also has the 3 for $85 with an HDMI cable. To address several other topics: Yes, the 3 is much snappier than other models, not just older models. Some of the current Roku models do not have the faster processor and are not as snappy as the 3. IMO it is worth...

I am currently a DishNetwork subscriber. I am thinking of switching. I did some searches on these forums, but the information I found comparing Dish to DTV was 2.5 years old. I am on a package that is no longer sold (Dish America Silver). I am paying $54.99/mo + $7/mo for DVR. I have a ViP722...

It's unfortunate that NFL Network is only in Choice and above.

Interested in updating to a more current language? Maybe Java so it would run on linux? I would be willing to help. I am very profficient in Java & C#, I would rate myself 7/10 in C/C++ if that is a language you would like to pursue. Ever thought of turning the software into a SourceForge...
