    Can i get some major networks - TVfools info supplied

    Small update....... My 2 antenna setup is working OK, I reliably have 7.1-3 and 9.1 (100% of the time) on my VHF antenna - nothing else comes on this to my surprise.....my UHF antenna aimed at San Diego towers 107 miles away is iffy..... recently lost 39.1 39.2 but still have 69.1-2-3 (with...

    Can i get some major networks - TVfools info supplied

    That RCA unit looks to be much better (economical) alternative to the CM 7777. At this point (and going forever forward) my LA and SD antennas are located a good fifty feet apart and their inputs are coming in to a media closet. So my best guess is they run down 50 feet of coax each. My...

    Can i get some major networks - TVfools info supplied

    Quick question..... would an amp like a channel master 7777 possibly be of any help to increase my LA stations since theoretically 11 and 13 are nearby but I am not getting them at all? I was thinking those things required a separate power supply but it seems the power adapter simply powers...

    Can i get some major networks - TVfools info supplied

    Iceberg thank you for all your help. I went back and reread the entire thread and you were spot on. The 2476 antenna was assembled correctly all along. However it needed to be high, the upstairs balcony gave me a glimpse 7.1 signal but nothing that could be locked. The backyard gave me 11...

    Can you help me choose an antenna

    Iceberg I really would have like the xg91 antenna, but it is a HUGE antenna and honestly I cant install it at my house. Instead I picked up the MCM 30-2155 antenna and aimed it to SD, and I now have 39.1,39.2, 69.1, 69.2, 69.3 .....39.1 is NBC and 69.1 is fox, and there is cozi, antenna tv and...

    Fellas when I linked the ebay "bowtie" looking antenna, I was simply trying to get input on that variation of antenna versus something like this http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/STELLAR-LABS-30-2155-/30-2155 at about the same price, there is this...

    any thoughts on something like this ? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Quad-4-Bay-UHF-HDTV-Outdoor-Television-Antenna-60-Mile-/261891680267?hash=item3cf9f5e80b:g:XLwAAMXQ855Rt~Ez

    Can you help me choose an antenna

    That is good to know. That is also why I linked that cute antenna from ebay. Sometimes you dont need a huge antenna depending on the signal you're chasing in this case UHF. We dont need a BUD Cband dish for say dishnetwork when 18 inches is enough.....cordless phones dont have 10 inch...

    Can you help me choose an antenna

    I think I dont have an issue spending up to $100-200, its a one time investment, and worth the hassle. I just dont want a huge experiment looking thing on my garage side and quite so visible. I do live in an HOA and would something more discrete. I figure if that tiny 2485 is working (on and...

    Can you help me choose an antenna

    Searching ebay, there are so many different shaped units. Out of curiosity, if I purchase a traditional (large) antenna, like this http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/30-2415?green=BCC893D4-98D1-5AE5-0967-F18D1D8AB429 could I leave off the large rear sections (which are presumably for VHF)...

    Hey everyone.... first and foremost, a BIG thank you to all of you, particularly Icebarg, Fat Air, LarryKenny who helped me with my other thread. I successfully installed a fringe VHF antenna 2476 from MCM and am able to consistently get 7.1 and 9.1 from LA despite being in a very poor location...

    WOW 180 Miles

    Correct me if I am wrong, the clarity of the picture cant be possibly affected by the antenna, it either works and is clear or does not and pixelates etc....the antenna looks to have a decent design and is cheap enough I may try it for the San Diego signals my small mcm 2485 struggles with (107...

    Well fellas, the aiming was not by a compass at all. The horse trail next to my house runs east west so O know the general direction. It also seemed like the antenna like a mild up angulation. I aimed in the vicinity scanned and once a station was found I turned 15 degrees in each direction...

    SUCCESS.......Ran the wire into the attic space where I found a huge spool of wire meant to wire up satellite TV, I used one of the 4 feeds there and connected to the media conx box / closet and down to the main TV. I get 7.1 7.2 7.3 and 9.1. Also there is the 24.1-4 (PBS from a different...

    I just had a roku2 and from what I gathered nothing live was on there, its all stuff that you can stream off different sources but was not live TV. Exception being was the slingTV. The closest thing to streaming stuff is KODI on android TV box, there are some live stations on there, but again...

    UPDATE #2 large fringe antenna simply does not get a decent signal, I placed it in the attic, no go. Tried in the front of the house, nothing. http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/STELLAR-LABS-30-2476-/30-2476 Attached the tiny 30-2485 antenna, and aimed south and have both 39.1 40,1 and...

    UPDATE....... all the stuff arrived a day earlier than anticipated. I quickly assembled the large fringe antenna, went on the back balcony and laid the antenna on a wooden patio cover we have with a wooden chair under it so it is level. Nothing (new that is). Then I aimed while keeping it...
