    Pre Amp Issue/Suggestions

    You are correct. I removed the amp from my setup and tested it at his location. The amp is currently back on my setup and is working fine.

    Pre Amp Issue/Suggestions

    Thank you for the reply. I only had it up about 6-7 feet on the mast above the roof when testing the reception. I will have to try to raise it higher to see if this was causing the reflection. There are also some small trees about 30 yards away that could be blocking the signals. I’m still...

    Pre Amp Issue/Suggestions

    The metal roof might be the cause. I noticed if I took the antenna off the roof and walked away from the house with no amplifier I began to receive more channels. Is running coax 150-200 feet too far to run with a pre amp? I’ve read there is dB loss for every 10 ft but I’m thinking I need to...

    Pre Amp Issue/Suggestions

    Agreed that you cannot amplify a non existing signal however when I take the amplifier off at his location I can receive channels which is odd...

    Pre Amp Issue/Suggestions

    The antenna when mounted on the pitch of the roof is easily 35- 40 feet from the ground so that is accurate. Using the tvfool map I had the pin set to the exact location. The roof is metal if that makes a difference? but it is mounted outside. The amp is working fine at my location as I’m...

    Pre Amp Issue/Suggestions

    I tried my exact setup (91XG with a 50ft rg6 Coax run into a fire recast) and also a Clearstream 2V antenna. Oddly the 91xg picks up 0 channels from his house vs the smaller Clearstream 2. I’ve contemplated trying a channel master 4228 hd as a majority of the channels are UHF. At my house which...

    Pre Amp Issue/Suggestions

    Hello, I am trying to help my brother set up a new antenna at his house which is about 5 miles away from me. I do understand that just moving down the street can cause a difference in signals etc. Both of our tvfool reports are not very good. However I am only trying to get the ABC, CBS, and...

    I still really like my recast but there is definitely room to improve on it. The weak signal error is extremely annoying, I get it even when my signal is good. Also your internet connection has to be fast and if you live in a large house WiFi cannot have dead areas other than that it’s pretty good.

    Antenna selection, Pittsburgh market – try 2!

    I’m probably 50+ miles east of the Pittsburgh towers and I’m picking all of those channels up with a Clearstream 2 (the model that receives vhf signals) and a channel master 7777hd adjustable gain amp. I tried the cm 7777 and it overloaded my signal, the cm 7778 worked but was not enough (might...

    Antenna and amp recommendations

    Thank you everyone for responding and you are very correct Jim, I am down in a valley which is probably making it so tough to get any signal. On another note, I do get WTAE which isn't very close and a few other stations. I guess Ill be happy I have those ones for now!

    Antenna and amp recommendations

    Hello, I am currently looking for antenna and amplifier suggestions to get Pittsburgh stations (kdka, wpxi) that are 50-55 miles away. I will be doing an attic mount as I do not have roof access. I’m considering getting a Winegard hd8200 or 91XG and thought about pairing it with a channel...

    Streaming is about to get very expensive

    Not positive but I think you can have as many devices as you want but you can only have 3 streams going at once.

    Hulu is committing suicide!

    Unless you’re paying for their premium service it is worthless to have Hulu

    Fire TV Cast

    Just got one of these, they are awesome but very confusing to set up. Basically there is no fire tv app on the firestick nor can you download it. You must download the fire tv app on your phone then activate your recast via your phone and put it on your network. After this it will eventually...
