No problem. Weird thing is I get FOX 6 on channels 6 and 50. The UHF frequency is 50 but it used to only show up as 6-1. Now it also shows up as 50-1. It is my strongest Birmingham signal. I'm getting the same weird thing for TBN 45-1(46) showing up on 46-1 and 45-1. TV Fool is wrong...

I'm really going for the CW and Mynet plus VHF low WUOA 23-1(6). The Winegard seems to be outperforming the 4228 now. I've got a couple feet more head room in the attic that I'll try to use this weekend.

I know having the antenna outside will get me much better performance. But having a 14 foot long antenna on a 1500 square foot house isn't exactly pleasing to the eye. I would still have to overcome my wife and the HOA. If I just put the antenna up without her knowing before hand I am asking...

Please tell me you are kidding.

The wife won't let me.

I will try your suggestions and post my results. It may not be until this weekend though. The end facing Birmingham is really close to my hot water heater. Should I move it away from that. I'm just wondering of that interferes. However, if I move it back from the heater, the backend of the...

I removed the 4228 and any other splitters in the setup completely. I hooked the 8200 into the 7777 and then hooked up the power supply at the TV. I got results this time. 6-1 was near 80% and 68-1, 13-1, 42-1 and 21-1 were all between 65-75% 23-1 never got above 57% nor was it watchable. This...

Will try your suggestions. Thanks.

Thanks for the advice. I'm mainly trying to get the Birmingham stations as I have Dish HD locals for Montgomery. When I aim the 8200 towards Birmingham I get most of the Montgomery locals on the back side. If I wanted to concentrate on Birmingham which antenna(s) should I use? Or should I...

I have a Winegard HD8200U hooked up to a Channel Master 7777 pre-amp in my attic. (Zip 36092) I want to make sure my setup is correct. I have the pre-amp power supply really close to the antenna and plugged in in the attic. I have another amp at the TV. Should I remove the amp at the TV and...

More Results I added the pre-amp and didn't get much of a change. The two problem stations are better though. Analogue 67 went from black and white very grainy to less grainy in color and barely watchable. I know I have the antenna pointed right at it. Digital 29 now comes in but not...

Thanks Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try on Saturday and see what happens. At least I know I can get all of the other stations. I've heard that 67 will hold out until the deadline to go digital.

More Info. I'm going back to the house this weekend for the final setup. I'm going to split the signal to four rooms with a low signal loss splitter from Monster. Should I add the preamp in to make sure the signal stays strong and locks on good? Also, I can't get the MyNetwork 67 very well...

See my post above. I was able to get everything. The tv was set to cable and I got everything by changing to off-air and moving the antenna. WSFA says it's 42 miles but the station is closer. I think antennaweb has it wrong. But, yes, that is the station that I got originally. It's a new...

Results! I was able to take my digital receiver and test out the CM 4228. I set it up in the attic on a tripod raised above the ac and any other obstructions. First, I hooked up my 7777 with not very good results. My next try I did not get CBS or ABC digital. I moved the antenna a couple of...

Thanks for the input. I realized that I did not change the tv setting from cable to antenna so I'll try to go back out tomorrow and test again. I'll post an update.

CM 4228 picks up VHF stations but not UHF I'm not moved in my new house in 36092 yet but the builder let me install the antenna. I put a 4228 on a tripod in the attic. I took a little tv with me to test which stations I would receive (analog). The only thing I got was the VHF NBC and CBS. CBS...

Thank you Thanks for the replies. I'll put it up and I'll see what I get. I guess you really don't know until you try it. I've talked to other people in my DMA and they are experiencing the same problems with the local Fox and VIP receivers. I get fox just fine on my LG 4200A. I'll post an...

More Questions Sorry it took me so long to respond again. I've been pretty busy with work. The attic mount is not doable for me because of the wife. She won't allow it. As an attorney, I'm fully aware of the FCC regs. We're already putting up a dish and I had to work for that. It's a new...

I'm moving to zip 36092. I looked at antennaweb and it looks like my CBS and Fox are pretty far apart. I need some help on getting the best reception with what I currently have: Channel Master 4228, CM 7777, LG 4200A HDTV receiver, Dish VIP211, Terk HDTVi indoor antenna. I'm moving to this...

I have a CM 7777 pre-amp that I no longer need for an antenna because I now get all of my local digitals throught my LG 4200A using qam. The signal quality on the analog channels is very grainy and the HD is not as good as the OTA. Can I use the 7777 as an amp to boost the cable tv signal?

Thanks for the input. What if I used the 4228 for my CBS, Fox, PBS and ABC and then used the HDTVi (NBC has the strongest signal) and joined those? How would I join the antennas. Would you give me link to the product? Thanks. Also, my fiance and I are actually having the house built. It's...

I'm about to move to zip code 36092 and I'm going to buy a CM 4228. I already have a CM 7777 pre-amp that I use with my HDTVi in 36117. It gets good signal strenght on all of the digital stations. When I move, should the 4228 pick up all of the stations without a rotor? Will the 4228 be...
