Thanks guys! I was afraid it was going to be something like that but did not hurt to ask since us Satellite Guys find ways around things all the time. I still have a DTV box I guess I could hook that up to the OTA antenna for just local channels! After going HD it will be a picture downgrade...

My cable company has about 7 distant HD channels coming through the cable line minus the cable box. My plasma HDTV has got just the cable line going straight to the antenna input of the TV. There are 4 local channels that are OTH and I would like to combine those with the cable’s HD channels...

I agree! Wonder how many folks are still not compliant yet! Bet this will affect the elderly the most for they really do not understand the concept and just don’t care. New fangled technology is something that they don't understand and most of them don't care. K E V I N

Very true and a great point! B~Man

It figures, if the transaction to DTV was acted upon right they would have never extended the transition time deadline! Everything in life is always done in the last minute! That is how it goes and how it always will be! Everyone thinks they have plenty of time! One of life’s deceiving...

Very true oljim, guess this is one of those electronic gadget gizmo toys for bragging rights!! Neighbor: “What the hell is that thing?” Owner of cool Antenna Nation WA-2608 : ” My OTH antenna for HDTV! Wait, let me go in the house and turn it!” Neighbor: “Oooh, where can I get one of...

Going for the Mesh Reflector style there big guy! I will be building both since my Father N Law wants one made for his DTV box as well! Try them both afterwards and see what one works the best and keep that one! ;) Will do with the pictures and yes, I hope it does to on the working out part...

Thinking the same thing boba! It obviously looks too small to get 90 mile range out of it. Guess if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck...... Still like to see if anyone has used one though, bet it would be good for locals only if they were about 5 to 10 miles away and the rotator...

Anyone here have one of those Antenna Nation WA-2608 motorized jobs? Just curious to see what kind of range, product quality of this little guy! I have seen various versions of this antenna made for different prices but it is the general idea in concept. The Antenna Nation WA-2608 clams about 90...

Thanks starman! Got it! I was looking over the plans for that "Big Boy" antenna and it looks very promising! I would say, even that where I am in this valley geography wise if I can get the PBS stuff in and also the local things on that DSS back side OTH antenna I should be able to make one...

Yeah Cowboy, thinkin the same thing! UPDATE SINCE LAST POST: I tried the DSS back of antenna and I am getting all Parkersburg Channels from WTAP but pixilation and all Channels of WOUB PBS that is 30 miles away on that antenna! Now, the channels are very choppy and not viewable for they...

Starman, I did try to make one with little to no success! One of those ones you see on the TUBE using copper wire and a two by four. I must admit it was fast and not really close on measurements but very close and it seemed still not to work. One would think that being no further away from the...

From the FTA Discussion area my man! :) Did that look at Post 1.

Yea over here form the FTA section of the forums! Done asked about diplexers on DVB equipment, unfortunately this is not a good idea and was told that another run of the coax will be required! Well, if I have to rely on just WTAP on a bow tie, just throw the HD stuff out right now! Our local...

Thanks CowboyDren! Have to give that a try! I know I am not going to pick up much for my area; we have only about 3 sub channels of locals on one station here in Parkersburg. I know there is a PBS since the lady down the street can get one. The biggest city that I am close too is Charleston...

I am at a moral dilemma here on which antenna will work with my HDTV! For some reason, I can’t get any signal into the house when a neighbor down the street can get just about everything available here in this area on the “Rabbit Ears” 7 dollar junk antenna she's got! :mad: I have a Philips...
