Well heres the rub, there is only so much bandwidth to go around, and some of it is more suited to certain things then others. It became apparent in the early 20th century that usage had to be regulated and it was divvied up and has continued to be divided among different uses accordingly. Now...

On one hand its kinda nice to see more inroads into updating the internet infrastructure and deliver better speeds and reliability in the US, but on the other Its a bit irritating to see bandwidth taken away. Then add in the ATSC 3.0 aspect with the repack and i see all kinds of problems. Plus...

I think a sheild made out of metal screen material would work too, and id have to cover the back side too so probably foil or screen material on the garage wall where the meter is hanging. Its more finding out if in fact it is the culprit but it looks more and more like it might be. I may have a...

I also have a linkbox 9000I local at the shop that I can bring home and see what it tunes in, will be interesting to see how good the tuner is in it, as i have only used the dvbs2 tuner thus far. I know on the dish network multi feed dishes i built the linkbox tuner didnt seem as sensative as...

Well I tried a couple of tvs today, I tried some AOC televisions that i had bought at radio shack, and the main tv in the living room which is a UHD LG that i ordered from a local LG dealer 2 years ago. One of the AOC tvs tuned 14 channels consistently. the other scanned in 11. The LG tuned in...

Ill fly all day long, no way id ever climb one of those, nope im positive no way ever.

I figured out one source of interference maybe. I noticed as i had the signal meter up on my tv screen every few seconds the signal would drop. On very strong signals it wasnt an issue with picture quality. I never noticed this before when fooling around with my antenna. Then i remembered about...

wait you said tvfool, i thought you meant antenna web, yes I have done tv fool too and its saying I should get much more then i do. this is including the channels shown in red, which are the ones i rarely get. interestingly ABC is shown in red but i can get it with little effort.

tv fool says i shouldnt get any signals at my location, antenna web says I should get abc, nbc and univision. Also says im 44, 45, and 44 miles from the transmitters as a crow flies respectively. Also says if im not above 30' i will get no reception. However at 10' I have built some crude home...

Just wondered, then that leaves some sort of terrestrial interference as the most likely culprit. Also could be transmitter height too. I must admit when it comes to OTA i dont know all the rules and limitations. Highly possible in my case being further in town reduces the signal which explains...

I just wondered if the LP stations in KC have an approved higher power output because the signals would need to punch thru more since the population is much higher. It appears the LP stations out of Wichita have between a 20 to 30 mile radius. I requested a coverage map from one of the LP...

Your right, I noticed last night that i was wrong while flipping thru the channels. NBC is in 1080i. Im in Harper County, which is about 45 miles from the Wichita Airport. But most of Wichita's transmitters are more twards Hutchinson but there are some low lower transmitters actually in...

At the end of the day I see only 1 maybe 2 of the major broadcasters doing so in full 4k, for instance take a look at the digital transition. In my market there is only 1 major broadcaster that actually broadcasts anything in 1080p, and that is NBC. All, and I repeat ALL others are maximum 720...

ohh, ill have to scour the electronics section next time in there, need one of those!

Its been my experience nearly everything at menards have decent prices, and if you include the several times the offer 11% instore rebates they blow the doors off of lowes and home depot. They also carry a lot wider selection of just about everything. I buy all my bulk rg6, bulk connectors and...

Well everything i have read and heard so far points to rural america getting the shaft.

yeah all of the low power stations will probably go away, ie the ones that have heros and icons, decades, laff, ect.

well if you are close enough to the signal source you can use omnidirectional antennas. I have seen some that work quite well, but have no idea the actual range of them. IM kinda lucky currently as the signals we receive are far enough away that even though they are spread out the antenna picks...

Most people dont know anything about it, and couple that with the fact a lot of people are cutting the cord and putting up new antennas now that have no idea I can see people getting really peeved. I know it hasnt happened yet but after talking with people that know way more about it then i do...

Harshness is correct, you can still to this day buy vhf/uhf antennas right off the shelf in nearly any walmart. I usually take my son on our shoping excursions and we go thru the electronics section while the women shop. Every walmart ive been to has them. However none of the antennas they sell...

Vhf antennas for those closer to broadcast wont be that hard of an issue, though they are much larger then typical uhf antennas. For folks in my area the uhf/vhf combo antennas would be quite large, and easily damaged. Wont take long and rural fringe areas will consume less ota tv. Its pretty...

Well since im a contractor in the city and county I gotta know what i can and cant do. Ive learned over the years of how to argue with the local government here. Of course every place is different. Honestly had I not already planned to install a c-band dish on the site i might have fought to put...

I never had luck with the antenna on my R/V, so i purchased a cheap walmart tv, re ran the wireing bypassing the internal stuff and put my cheapy walmart antenna on the roof mount. I now get some stations when i go camping. I used to take a dish network dish with us when we had that, but we are...

I know this is kinda an old thread, but as my post will show still a relevant topic. Recently my local city government took over the planning and zoning within the city limits from the county. To say that there have been growing pains, especially in my line of work, for the last 6 months is...
