Just received my copies of Mr & Mrs Smith and Hoodwinked from Poland the other day. These may well be my final 2 HD DVD titles I buy for several reasons. Mainly because I own well over 300 HD DVDs and there just aren't that many left that I don't have that I want. And of those remaining few...

Not really. Analog won't be as clear/sharp as digital, the grain comes from poor signal level/quality. The OP has the same results on both his HDTV and his SDTV. He wants to know if his "HD" antenna is the cause. Nobody here has straightened him out about HD antennas and I am surprised...

I knew exactly what the deal was when I gave the few dollars to the seller. I was well aware that some additional money would be necessary. This was a bargain buy that was too good to pass up. The audio missing from one OTA ATSC channel is hardly anything to be overly concerned with. I am just...

OK, I bought a DLP TV off craigslist for super cheap. Beautiful picture But I have 1 problem that for the life of me I cannot seem to figure out an answer for. The TV has built-in ATSC/QAM/NTSC tuners (dual tuners) and I have cable connected to ANT. 1 and my antenna connected to ANT. 2, and...

In order for a pre amp to work you need power. No getting around that. Obviously, according to what you have posted so far, you have easy enough access to your splitter(s). Get one of these: Amazon.com: Motorola Signal Booster 4-Port BDA-S4 Cable Modem...

WOW! 200 miles!? Impressive to say the least. The best I ever got was a little over 100 miles.

Get rid of the twin lead flat cable and install a new balun on the antenna and if you have enough RG59 use that from the balun to the splitter then to each TV. If you do not have enough RG59 then buy RG6 and use that from the new balun to the splitter and you can use the existing RG59 from the...

:rolleyes: More JB Antennaman gibberish. No, that is not "All it can do". You continue with your gibberish of UHF is not "full" in any one area. There are some channels that can't be used due to other stations using that frequency, but guess what...there are other frequencies that can be used...

You do not need to have a street level view to be able to tell if you will be able to receive reception of OTA television stations.:rolleyes: Based solely on your location provided in your information, I personally would not invest any money attempting to get unreliable signals that are iffy...

Damn. That must have been a sight to see; if anyone got to see it. ;) But towers aren't forever & 53 years certainly seems like a good run.

No. Just order the antenna and the USVJ and you'll be good to go. Oh yeah, You'll need a balun or 'matching transformer' also. But you can pick that up at any hardware store.

Well, get the word "digital" out of your vocabulary for now. Everything is the same today as it was when we were kids, UHF & VHF. The antenna I linked to is UHF, that is what the majority of stations transmit on today. The antenna you have is a VHF antenna. If your dad says it will work, what...

Sweety, go here and order this: Antennacraft U-4000 UHF/HD 4 Bay Bowtie TV Antenna (U4000) - Antennacraft - U4000 - 716079002110 -

:bowNecessity is the mother of all inventions. I commend you on your inventiveness. LUV your 'balun'.

I apologize, I thought I included the link. Amazon.com: Motorola Signal Booster 484095-001-00 Bi-Directional RF Amplifier:?@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41HG8Q6hI6L.@@AMEPARAM@@41HG8Q6hI6L Look around for the best price. As a reference, I got mine for $7 but that was a...

I may not have been clear earlier. The amount of signal loss is frequency specific. The higher the frequency, the higher the loss. I recommend these as the best ones depending on your need. I think it will be fine for you. Look around for the best price.

Well lets get this straight. The amount of signal lost per 100' of RG6 is dependant on the frequency being transmitted/received. A tower will cost you much more than a pre-amp, which is what you want/need in your situation. A tower will add unnecessary cost to your project. A roof mount as...

Where is there a picture?

Were they loose on both? Both of mine came tight and right. I also ordered them about a month or so apart.

You can try it. Worse that will happen is it doesn't work. This is one reason I use multiple antennas, after experiencing what you are now going thru, 3 winters ago. Now I don't have to wait for the antenna to move to get reception. Just change the channel and wham bam thankyou maam'. ;)

And I can recommend the Antennacraft U-4000.

You won't know until you shorten it the 5'. We hope it won't affect anything negatively. To point at 2 directions at once, get another antenna, depending on the band of the desired new channels. You see my picture. That's how it's done. ;)

What you have is a power inserter, for a pre-amp. It should be indoors as it is not weather proof. The box is, as has been said earlier, fine. Yes there are better boxes, but what you have should do the trick since it was doing the trick before. My antenna setup. However, the bottom antenna is...

You can see how I get 43 channels from 2 different DMA's in my signature. All 3 antennas are on one 10' mast. As for the plastic wrap, you shouldn't need to use anything. What model pre-amp are you using?

You may have a bad RG6 connection is what I'm thinking. Or water might have migrated in in. Why would you wrap anything in plastic? Furthermore: Congress has no intention of getting rid of free OTA TV. That shouldn't be a consideration for you at all.
