Roashru, Thanks for the replies. I've seen a bunch of the VOOM boxes on fleabay. They need to be activated in order to get OTA signals correct? About how much should I be willing to pay for one of these units?

Ok, great. I'm just trying to find out if there's something out there as far as a STB, that's better than the SAMMY.

Still doesn't answer my question. Is the Sammy not A/74 compliant? What box would you recommend for really deep fringe reception???

Yeah, I've seen that review. What I don't understand is at the beginning of the review it says that the Sammy is a 5th gen set, but you're saying it isn't. So which is it?

So you're saying the Sammy!!!

Ok, help me out. What STB do you recommend that meets or exceeds the A/74 performance guidelines???

I asked this elsewhere but still no reply. What chipset is in the DishNet 811 for an ATSC tuner? 3rd, 4th gen??? Certainly not a 5th! Who makes it? Broadcom maybe? As in the case of the 211 & 622. Anyone have a non-operational 811 whose willing to crack the case and take a peek, and...

How do they both compare to the 5th gen chipsets found in the Samsung DTB-H260F?

Just wondering what everyone out there is using? Sammy, US Digital (Hi-Sense), another? What have you used in the past, present & why? Anyone know when the next 6th gen chip set tuners will be out?

Holy crap!!!:eek: Now that there's funny!!!!:D I can already see it in my mind.

A little cornfused!!!! According to the NEC, mast/mount grounding is to be done directly with no splices or connections between the mast/mount and the ground rod. Yet, in the picture above it clearly shows the mast ground going to the ground block first, a run to the ground rod, then onto...

Nice tip for those who have one.

Here's a good read for those in hard to receive areas. http://www.ultimateavmag.com/howto/405hdtv/ A little hope for those of us in the sticks!!!

Man, I know exactly what you mean about the Exterior Design Chairwoman. I have one myself! Go the easy route...add another mast! Separate them by 2-3ft.

I don't think has them stacked. I think he has a Winegard for the VHF, and a 91xg for the UHF. You could easily tie in the 91xg to your setup. Use the VU-190 for the vhf side, and the 91xg for the uhf side. You've got the right pre-amp for it.

Lord knows I wouldn't do it this time of year!!!

Drive!!! Holy schnikeys Batman, my wife would kill me if I drove to Syracuse for an antenna! I'll probably just bite the bullet and order a 91XG. Thanks for the offer though. If I ever make it to Syracuse lets have a beer or 12!!!

Hey Rick, Yup! I'm still at it...trying to figure out whether or not to give it a try. I spoke with the engineer at WRGB-Albany, really nice guy. I wanna say Robert??? Anyway, we spoke for a good half hour about my plight. He says I have a better shot at getting the Burlington, VT...

What is your zip & the towers zip?

:up :D ;)

Yeah, but 200 miles over what type of terrain??? I'd be willing to bet hardly any hills or mountains let alone a tree for a dog to lift his leg on!

I haven't been able to access their site in 2 days. I don't believe they're going out of business as they're a VERY large online retailer. I tried to call them yesterday, but only got the voicemail.

Sounds like my situation. I'm in a valley, but about half way up a western facing slope. The towers I'll be shooting for are roughly at 20 degrees compass orientation. I'm at 700 ft above sea level and the towers I'll be shooting at are a little over 4000ft which is the only plus in my...

Haven't gone the super route yet. Apparently due to a tree or two, I wasn't going to be able to get one of the low lying birds. I'm sure we could have found a location where it would have worked, but at the time, he was 4 hours late, I was upset, we already had a few inches of snow on the...

It fell through. Installer came out and determined that I wasn't going to be able to all the necessary birds. So, I had to cancel my order & install.
