    Requesting antenna recommendation

    Tried them all. No dice. I'm done. This has been way too much time and money. I'm just going to suck it up and get cable or satellite. Any want a slightly used CM4228 and CM7777?

    Requesting antenna recommendation

    Square 1. We've had so much rain here on the weekends, I wasn't able to get the antennae mounted outside until this past weekend. When I did, reception went back down. It is particularly susceptible to rain fade. I tried two mounting locations, with no improvement. In fact, at one point I...

    Requesting antenna recommendation

    Thank you, thank you, thank you. You guys rock. Last Sunday I ordered my CM4228 and CM7777. They were here on Wednesday, and for kicks I hooked it up in my TV room on Thursday. I leaned it against the window nearest my local stations. Every single one of them comes in crystal clear, without...

    Requesting antenna recommendation

    So much to learn... According to antennaweb, I'll be golden until next February, when CBS 11 will switch to VHF.

    Requesting antenna recommendation

    The CM4228 is only for UHF channels. Does this mean I need a second antenna for VHF?

    Requesting antenna recommendation

    Thanks. What exactly is the role of a pre-amp, versus, say, a power supply?

    Requesting antenna recommendation

    Wow! Thanks. Who makes the 4228? Winegard? Should I get the pre-amp if I've got an old Voom STB with the diplexor?

    Requesting antenna recommendation

    This has been asked before, many times, but I haven't seen an answer that helps me. Basically, my zip code is 27587. I live exactly 2 miles due west of where Google maps places the marker for 27587. It is flat, but there are a lot of tall trees. I have the Winegard Amplified Sensar that...

    Antenna

    What the? I just bought that one, and I was unimpressed. I used to to replace my Winegard Sensar, and it was no better, and maybe even a bit worse!

    Improving OTA reception

    My zip code is 27587. I live exactly 2 miles due west of wear Google maps places the marker for 27587. It is flat, but there are a lot of tall trees. I have the Winegard Amplified Sensar that came with Voom. I can get all of the channels predicted by Antennaeweb with signal strengths >95...

    Voom OTA antennae to TWC purple collar cable connection not working

    Right now it is a dedicated run. The splitter is currently out of the setup. I also shortened the overall length of cable between the antenna and the Voom. It didn't make a difference.

    Voom OTA antennae to TWC purple collar cable connection not working

    zip is 27587. To get the antenna higher, I'll need a taller ladder. No power lines nearby. All underground.

    Improving OTA reception

    I just moved and recently set up my Voom box and Winegard antennae. No matter where I put it, I can't get perfect reception on all the channels I want. I've got it in the best possible location, but I still struggle to receive NBC. When tuning in setup mode, the strength jumps back and forth...

    Voom OTA antennae to TWC purple collar cable connection not working

    Update: The problem involved too much cable. the signal was basically losing strength along the way. I get most stations decently, but some are bareley coming in above 85. Dodge, I tried your suggestion with the Winegard power supply. The result was only slight improvement. Any suggestions...

    Voom OTA antennae to TWC purple collar cable connection not working

    Thanks for the tip dodge, but I've been working without the splitter. The problem appears to lie in that one cable that runs from the TWC box to the media cabinet. Its as if that cable itself isn't allowing the power to pass to the antenna. But is that even possible? The cable that runs from the...

    Voom OTA antennae to TWC purple collar cable connection not working

    This house I just moved into has a media cabinet inside the house, where the external signals (internet, cable, phone) go into to be split to different ports built into the walls around the house. The cable TV and cable internet are carried into the box via two separate cables. These cables run...

    voom receiver reboots when tuned to pbs-hd

    Oddly enough, I went and did a scan tonight. I'm no longer having reset problems with PBS HD, but I've lost PBS SD. Channel scan isn't finding it.

    Phoenix users - how's your 3TV reception

    FYI, I eventually got up on my roof and relocated the antennae, finding the optimum position by using the signal strength meter in the box (and some help from my wife). 3TV comes in now with a problem, and I also got CBS back, too.

    Phoenix users - how's your 3TV reception

    A week ago, my reception of 3TV was fine. Never had a problem. Now I notice that reception is terrible. I'm being told that no signal is being detected, but if I leave it tuned to 3-1 long enough, I occasionally will get snippets of the broadcast. These only alst a few seconds, though. I...

    voom receiver reboots when tuned to pbs-hd

    HI RPacion- I'm here in Phoenix as well and am having the same problem with 8.1. Have you contacted them yet to see if tehy are having a problem with the data stream? Also, I've lost significant signal strength from 3-TV. Have you?

    Voom in Phoenix

    2 reasons. I think Cox is way overpriced. Voom only cost me $10 more per month than what I was paying for Cox analog cable. I also didn't like the flippant attitude they showed when I wanted to cancel my service. They basically said "You'll be back. Let us know when you want us to hook you up...

    How I got VOOM NBC HD and SD for the Olympics

    I'm sorry, but could someone please point me to an explanation of what is going on with Voom and the Olympics? I been through most of the threads (and the complaining), but I can't seem to find an explanation of what I should be expecting from Voom and NBC, so I can take steps to remedy my...
