I have a 722 and will not upgrade to the Hopper without OTA support. I watch and record some of the available OTA (primary and .2, .3 sub-channels) broadcasts that are not available on Dish.

Another company that makes solid-bar antennas is SITCO, who's primary market is CATV/MATV operators. They make separate UHF, VHF-hi and VHF-lo broadband antennas ( Log Periodic Arrays ). They also make single-channel antennas, plus optional stacking versions ( CATV-MATV ). These antennas are...

Unless you are well above average terrain, I would not count on getting reliable reception at 100 miles, without spending big bucks. But I agree with Peano that the XG91 antenna with a Channel Master 7777 preamp is an excellent combination. Dish Network offers a "local only" option (my...

If you subscribe to either Dish Network or Directv, consider one of their HD receivers with an "OTA tuner" or they may call it an "ATSC tuner" (don't assume all satellite HD receivers automatically have "OTA/ATSC tuners" built-in).

In looking at the TV Fool output you attached, only WTAP is going to come in reliably with an indoor antenna, and the Antennas Direct DB4 is an excellent choice for indoor use. But the only way you will pick-up PBS (WOUB) is to spend a lot of money on an outdoor antenna and pre-amp. If you are...

I knew about WUOA-DT moving to channel 6, but I have a very low opinion of any station stupid enough to use VHF-Lo for DTV in the Southeast, considering the amount of lightning-laced thunderstorms we get (I'm 150 miles east of Elrod, AL). If WUOA-DT is important to "chathorne", he could use a...

I can tell by looking at the pictures that your antennas are very, very old. If you want good results, you need to replace them. I recommend that you start with Winegard HD 7694P High Definition VHF/UHF HDHD769 Series Antenna (HD7694P) | HD7694P [Winegard] and aim it towards Birmingham...

Is it everyone's opinion that Ciel-2 will end all complaints about the 129 slot for eastern US viewers? I am near Atlanta and always loose 129 in bad weather. I was about to pressure Dish to convert me to Eastern Arc because of this.

Ideally, the splitter should go between your TV's and the power supply ("out to TV" port). If you find it necessary to split between the pre-amp and the power supply, you need a "DC block" for the leg that goes to the TV without the power supply connection.

Specialized (commercial grade) equipment exists to do this, but it is very expensive. A year from now, I do think you will start seeing lower priced consumer grade gear to generate an RF Channel 3 ATSC signal.

CE FIlter (Communications & Energy Corporation (C&E), broadband, broad band, digital, WiFi, microwave filters, traps, antennas) makes exactly what you are looking for. I used their filters to reduce analog channel 8 (I'm 3 miles from their transmitter).

One thing I forgot to add. If you aim the antenna at Louisville, you won't get Lexington and vice versa. You would need an antenna rotor to aim at each city. After analog shut-down, WHAS-DT moves to channel 11 and WBNA-DT stays on channel 8. One way to get some Louisville and Lexington...

If you are not too close to WBKI Campbellsville, I recommend the following: 91XG (Antennas Direct 91XG UHF Antenna (91XG) | 91XG [Antennas Direct] | 91XG 91-XG 91 XG 91 GX xg91) for UHF; YA-1713 (Winegard YA-1713 Yagi TV Antenna Reception Aerial ProStar 1000 10 Element Off-Air VHF BroadBand...

I can tell you with certainty it is a DishNetwork problem. In comparing what DishNetwork delivers with OTA on the Atlanta locals, OTA has no problems. I have had an outdoor antenna for years, and only signed up for Locals to get the program guide for my 622.

They had to give up channels 2-6 (in most cases---there are some exceptions). A fair amount of stations that transmit analog on channels 7-13, will return to those channels as digital after February, 2009.

I recommend the 91XG. Because of its narrow beamwidth, it will reject multipath much better than the CM4228. I started with the Winegard 9095, had multipath problems, then tried the CM4228 which was a little better with multipath (but didn't eliminate it), then I installed the 91XG, which was...

622 Running Bug Thread I don't know if this has been reported before or not, but while viewing a Dish-on-Demand program, it stopped playback when a timer recording was started. When I tried to switch back to the Dish-on-Demand program, it made me cancel the timer recording before I could...

It sounds you are in a tough reception area. The 4228 does not do very well with multipath. I had one and replaced it with a 91XG (http://www.solidsignal.tv/prod_display.asp?PROD=AD-91XG). However, analog channel 10 won't look as good, but you may pick-up digital 10.1 (ch 32). If WTAJ is...

I have had no problems with Atlanta OTA 11-1, and get between 98-100% on my Dish 622. I live in Stone Mountain and use a separate VHF-Hi antenna. If you are trying to get 11-1 with a UHF-only antenna (i.e. Channel Master 4228), I think Cumming might be too far out for reliable VHF-Hi reception...

I also think the "stretched" picture looks bad, and typically stick with Gray Bar or Normal.

In my case, they gave me a $100 programming credit ($10/mo for 10 months). I had an 811, added a 622, and switched to the Dish HD Gold. $199 was the upgrade fee and I pay the normal DVR fee. They told me the 811 would lose the SAT HD channels (I still have them).

I have a new 622 I received 2 weeks ago, and tried to use the optical (PCM) output for the first time yesterday (10/28). Optical does not work at all. I see light at the end of cable but no sound when connected to PCM D/A converter. Analog audio out to stereo amp and HDMI audio out to TV work...
