I don't have mine plugged in right now either. The line is back there, I just don't feel like moving my TV again just to get to it.

Jerry is pretty good. He installed my OTA Winegard antenna. Even crawled through my attic and ran the cables the way I asked him to. I have had nothing but pleasant experiences with Metro Tech Solutions. A good install company makes all the difference!

Interesting. That's what I was thinking it might be when I started reading. I heard the new "dishes" are oblong. Any chance we can see a pic of it?

Yep, and they're not very high up on the tower either. You pretty much have to be living right beside the tower to get it. I'm 7 miles from it in Longview and can't get it. Longview and Tyler get Metrotech Solutions out of Dallas for their installs. I have had nothing but pleasant dealings...

I haven't been able to find that out, but MAN! You can get some crazy information digging around on the FCC's website! Like this map of expected service area for this station. Not sure if this is analog or digital service area...

KDFI is broadcasting in digital but currently only at 11.2kW. After their temporary authority runs out they should be up at 1000kW. More information here: http://www.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/tvq?list=0&facid=17037

I think that H-Town, Tyler and Dallas should be listed in Central.

Good grief in Gladewater! I just got a reply from Wilt! He's fast! 1. We'll take a look at that, 2. Should be end of this month, early next, for "scanning" to be available which should eliminate all of this--most anyway--zipcode stuff. But, we'll see if we can help here. Thanks...

Ok, I sent Wilt an email. Lets see what happens. :cool:

So how would one go about getting this done for their setup? I have 2 very incomplete mappings in my guide for stations that are in different directions that won't tune at all. But 50 miles away there are 4 channels broadcasting in HD all from the same direction. I could get those if my box...

Update on my locals situation: For the longest time, my locals only showed 0-4 0-8 and 0-10. This was due to no locals being mapped to my region. Now, after working with various people, I have 2 of my locals in my guide. 19-1 and 56-1. Since some locals started showing up I decided to...

I've been working with Jason at Metro Tech Solutions to get some of these OTA problems resolved. The most recent thing is getting some more channels added to the lineup. What local channels does Tyler usually pull?

I can't get mine to come in either, at least with the stealth. I got up on the roof last night and swung it around to point at 198 degrees, but my off air signal strength still shows less than 20. The interesting thing is that my off air signal strength never seems to change. Even with no...

I just noticed we both posted that message within a minute of each other hehe. Hey did Metro Tech Solutions do your install too?

Well, apparently they fixed something because now I have KETK and KLSB showing up in my guide. That's it though. BUt it's a step in the right direction. Now I gotta beat someone up about getting the rest of the channels added in.

I didn't think tyler had any locals broadcasting in digital yet. Longview only has one, but it's Fox. All of the good ones come out of Shreveport. I just found out that Longview's local spot beam information isn't even in the system. So we don't even get the information showing up in the...

Longview here OTA not working for anyone else in Longview because of OTA map codes or something. I'm curious if it's working for anyone in the Shreveport area since we pull our locals from there.

I have found that my local installer knows nothing about OTA. I must admit that the past couple of weeks have been spent learning a lot about OTA myself. In everything that I have learned, I don't really trust my installer to deliver a product/installation that would be sufficient in my...

How does error correction work on a unidirectional stream? Only thing I could see would be sending down some crc/parity information with each frame and the STB would check the frame it received and try and correct things within the scope of that frame. It seems like that would require some...

I ran across this on the yahoo groups and thought I would share here. The dish was mentioned in a thread a few days ago. Some customers are replacing their 18" dish with the Winegard DS-2078 30" dish. The cost is $30 + $10-$15 shipping. Stark Electronics also has the 24" DS-4062 version for...

I did. I have done 3 today alone. I'll email you my info. THanks

That's correct, those are Shreveport stations. That is what I SHOULD have in my guide. I think the 109 is bogus. I think it is just a default mapping that the STB has but mine won't ever update so it still shows it. I'm not sure what you mean by seeing the mapping id by my zip code shows...

Yes I should have 3.1, 3.3, 12.1, 24.1 24.2 and 24.3 according to Zap2it. I have none of those just 0-4, 0-8 and 0-10. Sometimes after a factory reset my receiver will show 30, 30-1, 30-2, 30-3, and 30-4 but those are also incorrect. I don't know where that is coming from. In my system...

I'm still having problems ... same thing as dtilton. This is what I don't understand. I read somewhere that the local's program guides are updated once a night. If this is the case then how do the locals get updated after a factory reset? Heck, how does the guide get updated? How does it...
