    WOAI HD San Antonio

    Terk HDTVa Amplified Directional Indoor HDTV Antenna by Office Depot I emailed the engineers with OAI tonight to see if they will give feed back. I doubt they will, but have had luck in the past with other engineers from other stations. The antenna works great. I used to have everything...

    I too live out near bulverde. I currently get the station OTA at 100%, which is great. But, I don't get the OTA in the bedroom. I really want the option to watch NBC in high def in the other room. if there is any indication that this will actually happen soon, I am more than excited. My...

    anyword on the WOAI thing? I spoke to a tech support rep the other day and asked about it. Her response was totally canned and offered no insight. quite frustrating on sunday nights. I get it OTA in the living room, but in the bed room I don't.

    Has anyone else been having trouble with KSAT lately? I am having issues with the sound dropping out and lots of blocking. I haven't noticed it with any other channels. I do have an OTA antenna - and it is also having the same issues. If anyone can help me figure this out I would GREATLY...

    determining bandwidth

    I visit this site somwhat more infrequently lately and have noticed lots of talk about bandwidth. I am sorry if this has been addressed, but I seached and couldn't find it. Maybe my search skills suck. As for the question. I know what bandwidth is and what the issues are, but I notice that...

    finally looking good for me. Can't believe they actually did it. I drafted them a very stern letter about how they were hosing us on this and hosing me on my $20 rebate each month (getting only $10 and a hell of a runaround), the fee for not having a phone line connected (when they refused...

    Rebate Runaround

    just went through the same thing. I told them that I knew this would happen months ago and that I called and verified (after reading this thread) that I was going to be getting the $20 each month (I did call and she noted on my account it was to be $20). The guy I talked to tonight told me...

    I haven't heard back from FOX guy in about two weeks. He sais he was traveling a lot at the time. I agree about the quality and your assessment of DISH's attitude. I know they have a lot going on, but if they won't provide what I am paying for I should be allowed out of my contract. I am...

    I heard back from the KABB guy and he essentially told me what he told you. The Neb UT game was awful in the first half. My wife drug me away in the second half (thank god or I would have to buy a new TV - way tooo stressful). Anyway, I think all the locals in HD look like total sh*t. It...

    playmaker I couldn't agree more. I think you nailed it. Now the problem is - how do we get dish to fix it when they don't give a shi*?

    I have not contacted him as I have been out of town. Just got back in town yesterday and will send him a message today. His name is David Ostmo and he has been very friendly and knowledgeable (or so it seems to me). He did get pissed when I posted the content of one of his emails to me on...

    HD LiLs - Anyone else hear this?

    In San Antonio they are capturing the signal via OTA which doesn't require what they are talking about. Not sure it is like that everywhere, but it sure seems a whole lot easier than having to build on their site.

    I think the Fox looks WAYYYY better OTA (but that may just be because of my setup). I do think the baseball games look crappy in general on fox. I have a technical call set up next week and I will have them looking at those things too. BTW - with the rain - I do lose signal, but only for a...

    I have not gotten a response from ceo@echostar and I emailed them last week. I did however get a response from the tech support tell me they notice that I have a home visit set up and that they were now through with my ticket. If I have any new problems they would be happy to start a new...

    I have a coax cable fed from the receiver through the wall into the attic. The antenna itself comes with about 3 feet of coax connected to it. I barrelled that to another 15 feet and then I placed their amplifier on the end of that then directly into the box. Working backwards - box, amp...

    sorry - when I posted that message I didn't see the other questions. I bought the Terk HDTVa - just like this one http://www.jr.com/JRProductPage.process?Product=4010754&JRSource=nsa&nsa=1 I paid 45 dollars as an open box buy from Best Buy. It has been spectacular. I have mine in my attic...

    I understand what you are saying. I switched from TW just like you did. All I am saying - after all this mess I got tired of waiting on Dish (who never appears to be really ready to jump up and help someone) so I went out and did something that would fix my problem. My TV has its own HD...

    I just went and bought a terk ampified indoor antenna (hdtva model). It looks soooooooooooo much better, but I can't seem to get enough signal strength to keep it from blocking. I am picking it up at about 72-74, but for whatever reason I won't stop blocking (which makes it less desireable...

    I just ordered the silve sensor. I am familiar with antennaweb, but can you help me figure out how to actually use a compass? I haven't used one in 20+ years and I can't remember for the life of me how to use it in relation to antennaweb. Or did you just go up to the antenna and turn it until...

    I am with you - as best I can tell it is on Dish. I have been very pleased with the response from KABB. I hope that they can get it figured out. I too think it is crappy that the company we pay so much $$$$ to doesn't appear to care one bit about the quality of service they provide.

    response Message edited - shouldn't post what I did. The reply I got basically said that it was on Dish and not on KABB. He mentioned that he was in contact with Dish in an attempt to correct the problem. Sorry for violating any rules. I guess it shows that he is trying. He...
