    Cutting The Cord And Looking For Help

    Many thanks to all that have read this thread and or provided insight to my goal of OTA! And ultimately Cutting-The-Cord!! I have come a long way in just a few weeks and this is the place that answered my questions and had plenty of advice to help me out! I will attempt to continue to update...

    Cutting The Cord And Looking For Help

    I'll probably do this to see what I find. I have plans to replace the coax coming from the antenna's anyway.. I think it's cheap stuff that I had laying around and currently is longer than is required. Though it seems to provide enough signal that one TV can get almost twice the channels as the...

    Cutting The Cord And Looking For Help

    I will admit I haven't dealt with too many antennas but this one looked to be well designed and constructed! And it doesn't seem to have any problem with my distance and edges....

    Cutting The Cord And Looking For Help

    I am currently split to only 2 TVs. Some day if I find the need I could change to a 3-way and feed a 3rd TV. And might do it anyway just to experiment one of these days. BTW the TV that gets worse reception is also the line that I am inserting power into. Not sure that matters just pointing it...

    Cutting The Cord And Looking For Help

    Well I got the new VHF antenna in and got it and the other (3 week old) UHF mounted on a new section of schedule 40 top rail and moved it all to the south end of the house where the DTV dish still calls home. Got the mast (20' for now) standing up and bracketed to the south wall and pointed...

    Cutting The Cord And Looking For Help

    I see! :) Well the 2nd antenna I was anticipating is indeed a VHF only and maybe that's what will solve this problem. So do you suppose I'm not receiving any VHF at this point, as the only other VHF stations at this point I am receiving, but they both also have UHF. I guess I just need to pay...

    Cutting The Cord And Looking For Help

    I need to make a better "list" of the ones I am getting and or compare with the TVFOOL report, that and the real/virtual channels still are confusing to me. But I'm pretty sure I am not receiving the ABC stations to this point. I'm pretty sure that's the only major I haven't seen yet, that and...

    Cutting The Cord And Looking For Help

    How about that... I no longer have to make you dig through the Newark site! It would have been handy to know when I signed up about the limited ability to post a link.... so I wonder what post count got me over the hump?

    Cutting The Cord And Looking For Help

    I'll have to find someone's iPhone to borrow or find out what the Android equivalent is. But that does sound like a good idea since my expensive OLED (which I really really love) doesn't have a signal meter.... :( I guess till then I'll check to see if my little 48" mid price Samsung LED has...

    Cutting The Cord And Looking For Help

    The antenna I got is Manufacturer: STELLAR LABS Manufacturer Part No: 30-2440 - a 60 mile yagi. The preamp is the RCA TVPRAMP1Z VHF gain: 16dB and UHF gain: 22dB My TVFOOL report is a pic I inserted within the first few posts of this thread. At 15' where I'm at now I look to be working with...

    Yes I have the amp attached up high with about a 30" coax. And the inserter is at the TV.

    Cutting The Cord And Looking For Help

    The TV is a 2016 LG OLED 65" E6. At least I think it's the E6 (I've slept since), flat screen, picture on glass, 3D, built in sound bar. So I got the preamp installed, hooked up and got an additional 6 channels to come in! That is 17 total now out of 22 I was hopeful for and all at only 15'...

    Cutting The Cord And Looking For Help

    Well WOOOT! I put my antenna together (pretty simple) about 10 minutes and no tools. Quickly mounted it to the top of about 15' of mast and propped it all up and eyeballed the general direction of all our towers 40-60 miles away with weak 2Edge signals. Didn't take the time to hook up the RCA...

    Amazon sale on HD Homerun "Connect" HDHR4-2US

    Right. Thanks to you both. I have a new AC3200 tri-band router so don't think it will have any problems keeping up with either version. And it will need to stream over wifi at least to one TV. The direction I seem to be heading currently is using PLEX to handle the DVR'ing. I'm all about...

    Amazon sale on HD Homerun "Connect" HDHR4-2US

    So in researching for a DVR for my soon to be (hopefully) OTA TV, I've been looking at the HD Homeruns. So the difference between the Connect version and the Extend version seems (besides price) to be a built in transcoder in the Extend. The Extend version doesn't seem to list any other...

    It's back The Cool TV

    I'm starting out with: Manufacturer: STELLAR LABS Manufacturer Part No: 30-2440 At $27 bucks and both uhf/vhf, figured it was a good/inexpensive place to start to see what I might could expect. And if all goes well maybe it's the only one I'll need. I could be completely delusional on that I...

    Anybody have experience with this antenna?

    If you can get my Wichita stations 200 miles away I better be able to get them at 60! :)

    It's back The Cool TV

    I am just about ready to see what I can get and what is available! At least temporarily so.... I've got a 60 mile yagi antenna on the way and will play around with up to 3 or 4 10' pieces of chain-link top rail to see what I can get... If I find this (KCTU) The Cool TV I will surely let...

    Cutting The Cord And Looking For Help

    So are you going up 40' to receive the 2Edge signals or are you getting up to 1Edge or better by doing so? And I'm guessing the signals are pretty solid at that point. I understand an $800 tower probably ensures good reception... and 8 months after cord cutting it will be paid off... - what...
