My antenna now receives 18 and 34 without the preamp. The problem was with the two prongs that connect the circuit board to the elements that come from the antenna. I taked with Winegard and they said it is a common problem. I just had to use a pair of pliers and squeeze them together so they...

Channel 34 and 18 will not come in without a preamp. I have completely taken the preamp out of the line and pointed the antenna at 260 degrees but no signal. I have to have the antenna pointed in that direction with the preamp to get the signal. This seems very strange to me. With towers so...

Sorry it took me so long to get back to this thread. I tried having someone watch the signal while I adjusted but that didn't help. I tried getting the jointenna to block ch24 and that hasn't helped either. I'm resigned to the fact that I can't pull stations from Sacramento. I still can't even...

Another question I have is where exactly do I install the attenuator? Does it go on the input from the antenna to the preamp (outside), on the output to preamp power box (outside), on the input from the antenna to the power box, or on the out to tv connection?

ABC channel 34-01/RF 34 is located in Redding about 25 miles away FOX channel 30-01/RF 20 is located in Chico about 60 miles away NBC Channel 24-01/RF 36 is located in Chico about 60 miles away CBS Channel 12-01/RF 43 is Located in Chico about 60 miles away Stations I would like to receive...

Let me rehash what it is that I am trying to accomplish. I live about 60 miles from our local television stations that provide NBC, CBS, and FOX. These stations do send out digital signals but they do not broadcast in HD and won't for another 4 to 5 years. ABC & PBS are about 25 miles from me...

Ok, come 8pm here on the west coast I have lost my ability to watch the Sacramento channels. Do most stations increase their signal in the evening for Prime Time therefore causing cross modulation? I can't send the preamp back so I would like to find a way to use it to get the Sacramento...

Well, I left for the weekend and didn't worry about my reception problems. After getting home from work today I did a digital scan of stations and 12 were found. before i was only getting 4. One of the stations I really wanted to pull in is FOX from Sacramento which is 160 miles from me. It is...

Ok, of course I'm not using the 10db and the Winegard preamp together. As far as the DC Block goes i needed one when I had Voom and the 10db preamp had one as well. Considering I had better reception with the 10db preamp and a block i thought I might need one. I'm sure there are a lot of idiots...

I don't have any splitters but the line does have two female/female connectors to pass the coax. It is not one solid line and can't be. I don't know if those pass dc power. Do I need a dc block anywhere in the line?

I have a Winegard 9095p UHF antenna on my roof. I was using a cheap Radioshack 10 db preamp and was getting good reception. I decided to try the winegard ap4800 preamp to get stations that are on the fringe of good reception. To my dismay I hooked the ap4800 up today and now I get worse...

I just had a second dish installed to receive CBSHD from NY. Our local stations have no problems giving wavers for HD since they are not upgrading for atleast 2 or 3 years. So does anyone know if E* is working on getting NY and L.A. High Def feeds of NBC,ABC, and Fox just like their CBS feed? D*...

I have two coax lines coming into my home theatre room. One goes to the 811 and the other to the 522. Now I want to bring off air down one of those lines to the 811 so i can have my HD locals. What do I need to do to accomplish this? Will there be signal loss with either the satellite or the off...

That's what I would do. I don't think there is another way to send sound to HDMI.

DVI does not send sound to the TV. I would assume that the only audio input for HDMI is through HDMI since it sends both. If you want to continue to run it DVI to HDMI you better run the audio to a receiver or else I would say you are SOL. I have the new Samsung 46" DLP and run DVI to DVI with...

DVI will give you a better picture. I have a 46" DLP and I only view HD with the DVI cable.

I am having Dish installed tomorrow and I am having them hook an 811 and a DVR to our HD TV. Does anyone else currently have this setup and if so how do you like it? :)

Don't bother switching unless you don't care about locals and if you do you get excellent reception in your area. I just switched from Voom to E* because we can't get our installer to figure out how to get locals. Everyone else in the area gets them but us. I will miss RUSH HD and RAVE but most...
