    ION antenna location twin cities

    Did ION finally move their antenna to Shoreview MN? I noticed tonight that I can watch ION and it doesn't break up. I have not tried for a long time since it was basically unwatchable for me previously. I am only curious if something changed since it's actually working for me tonight.

    HBU33 Directional?

    I live in Minneapolis area, and have my HBU33 pointed toward the main antennas. There is another channel ION which is located almost 180 degrees in the opposite direction, I have some troubles with it breaking up during the summer time (came in fine all winter). Would it work for me to point...

    Ground antenna in attic?

    Yes, it's working great! Signal strength meter show almost maximum for the main networks and PBS. Ion is kind of low though, maybe 60's-70's, I might still have to play with it a bit... But it's working very well. I moved it to attic today, nice to have that antenna out of the spare room. :)

    Ground antenna in attic?

    I'm installing an HBU33 into my attic. I am re-using a satellite coax cable that has two coax and one ground wire in one piece. At this time I'm just using one coax to send the signal down. In my basement I have a grounding block attached to a wire that is clamped to the water pipe going into...

    Help with antenna choice

    For now, it is just one TV. I live in Champlin, MN. According to tv fool, the main towers are 125 degrees and ION is 312 degrees, i'm right in the middle of those two. If I point to 125 degrees would it pick up something "behind" it just as well? I'm new to this, looking at getting this for...

    Help with antenna choice

    I'm sure this has been discussed a million times, but it seems the answer changes depending on where you live. I am in Minneapolis, MN area in NW suburbs, about 15 miles away from the broadcast antennas. It seems we are a Hi-VHF and UHF market. Ideally I would like an indoor antenna, something...

    Whats up with referral program?

    Does the Dish Network friend referral program actually work? I'm a relatively new customer (for maybe 6 months?) and have been involved with two referrals, one for me to join, and the second is for a friend of mine to join. Both times it was like pulling teeth to get Dish Network to give the...

    First time dish

    This is great info, thanks everyone. What about the programming agreements.. I see I can pay 24.99/mo for the first year and then 39.99/mo for year #2. Plus the HD+DVR fees and some taxes of course. Are those prices locked in or are they able to increase their prices like Comcast sometimes...

    First time dish

    I've had comcast for years and am very tired of having to negotiate fair prices annually. So I am thinking about cutting it and trying something different for awhile. I'm leaning toward Dish, but I'm nervous. Since Dish Network and DirecTV both have 2-year contracts (in order to get the best...
