    Their transmitter area seems to be more north and east from New Haven. WTNH is more of a circle. 2150.com will show you the transmitting antenna direction. I find that sight much better than antennaweb.com.

    According to 2150.com WCTX antenna is more directional than WTNH. That could be your problem. Also I got my call letters mixed up, I meant WLNY not WLIW which I get no problem. I get analog 55 from LI but not digital signal. Are they at low power?

    Scott, Does that mean that WTIC and WTXX are not putting up their permenant antennas until next year also. I don't know if it is atmosphere or what, but both their signals have been real touchy the last couple of weeks.

    Sean, WCTX doesn't pick up on the scan from the voom receiver, I don't know why. I only get it because it is my DMA and is mapped. WCTX does HD great, no bandwith wasted on subchannels. When Voom receiver scans it stops at rf 39 for awhile, just like WEDW, but doesn't add anything to receiver...

    Scott, can you pick up WEDW out of Bridgeport from Newington? I get 99 signal strength on Voom receiver but it won't pick up the channel on the scan. I was wondering if it is the receiver. It picked it up when we first got software update. After storm last week when we lost power and receiver...

    I think you would have trouble with the stealth getting WTXX. It doesnt broadcast at too high a power and uses a transmitter that is the lowest one on the tower. They were supposed to build a combiner antenna for WTXX/WTIC and I think the PBS station from Hartford. PBS was holding them up as...

    Maybe you need more height. I wonder if buildings in downtown Hartford are in your way. I have a few hills between me and towers but no buildings. Maybe west side of state is better than east side.

    Did you put up your new antenna? Surprised you can't get WVIT. Can you get WTIC or WTXX. They are on the tower right next to WVIT and at a lower height.

    On top of hill you should be ok. WTNH is strong signal. WFSB will be the hardest, probobly won't get it with stealth antenna until they boost power this summer. WVIT, WCTX and WTIC are decent signals. WTXX is transmitting from a low spot on the tower so they might be harder. I put up a Channel...

    I let Voom put up stealth antenna to see if I could get anything as there were many different views as to what was strong enough to get. After getting WTNH and WCTX with stealth I installed my own antenna on high pole with rotor and amp. Get all CT stations now. WTXX seems the weakest and most...

    Yes, they deleted the 5 subchannels that they tried and must of found the one that works. PG just shows one WTIC now.

    WTIC is fixed! Just need to be able to get other dma and then I can get PBS from Bridgeport and I will have all CT OTA stations. Sure beats Charter cable and their one network channel. ESPN and we are set. My receiver also seems much more stable with new software.

    It has something to do with the receiver. Samsung receivers map it the opposite way. HD on 3.1 and Springfield on 3.2

    I lost picture for a couple of seconds once during thunderstorm. Before I changed to 30" dish I couldn't watch even in a light rain. Couldn't watch WFSB though. I think that when they go to full power that won't be a issue as WVIT and WTNH were fine.

    I got mine in West Hartford at Signal Electronics. I think it is on Park Ave but not positive. I think I paid about 35.00 for it. He gave me wholesale prices as I bought antenna,rotor, mast, wire all together. It cost me about 300 for everything because I bought a big CM VHF/UHF combo antenna.

    When I installed my large cm antenna I tried it without the amp first and only got WTNH. After installing amp I get all CT stations and some from NY. I used samsung reciever to to get fox and NY channels to test antenna. I sent an email to the guy at Voom that was helping me get WTIC working...

    There is something wrong with the mpeg channel on WTIC. I was working with someone from voom on fixing it last week, but then they had all the problems with the new software and we got put on the back burner. I am in Arizona right now and after checking my email he wrote me that he has some type...

    I was going to go 25 but I compromised. I went high because I am in a little bit of a valley for the hartford stations. Must of worked as I get WFSB solid no dropouts. By turning antenna towards New York I get WCBS which doesnt seem to have audio problems WFSB has. When the rest of New York...

    OK I hooked up samsung receiver and WTIC is coming in fine so I know it is Voom receiver. Was also shocked to get WCBS,WNYW and WWOR out of NYC 75 miles away. Can't wait till Voom adds scanning so I can add these channels. WPIX broadcasts on channel 12, the same as WTXX. Surprised the FCC put...

    Larger dish

    I recieved my upgrade last night. My signal went from 80 to 98. Before larger dish I was getting High 30's low 40's. All I know is signal seems more stable with larger dish. Maybe with new software they don't need as strong a signal and that is why everyones readings are going up. Might be their...

    Wtic? Can anyone in CT recieve WTIC on their Voom reciever? I am working with tech support and they changed some mpeg config but I still don't get it. Was wondering if anyone else gets it . I know somebody said they could get it with their Directv receiver but not their voom receiver which...

    Larger dish

    Had tv on for about 3 hours now and not one pixelation. Still old software so I know the dish made major improvement. Best 40 dollars I could of spent. Went and picked up dish so I didn't have to pay 40 dollar shipping. Took me about 40 minutes from start to finish to change dish. That includes...
