I got power back after two days, but a few HD channels are missing. The HD antenna survived a Cat-2 Hurricane while sitting 25 feet up on my tower. I lowered the tower half way before the storm. Now we are several days later and Fox still has an Off Air on their analog and digital channels. I...

I'm not sure how you could receive any kind of TV signal from 40 miles on a indoor antenna. I don't think that the indoor antenna is rated for 40 miles, what do the spec's say? I would be surprised if anything on Sunday afternoon FOX that has the NFL involved is not HD. If there is one thing...

The thing about HDTV signals, when they are good, or great, the picture doesn't get better. The better signal means less drop out and other undesirable things that will ruin a good time.

There are lots of threads on this already. What I use is the Channel Master CM-4221, it is a UHF bow-tie antenna, rated to 45 miles. I also tried the CM-4228, rated to 60 miles, but having too much gain can be a problem. I took the 4228 down and went back to the 4221. Rasie it above the...

The problem is not likely to be the Terk as long as you do not break any DC paths from the receiver to the switch on the satellite path. That duel Terk has 5 times the loss of the single ported model. Yours has 5db loss on the antenna, and the single has 1db. Not a really big deal, but if you...

Try two diagrams, one showing how it all works before you modify it. The next to show the modification you make and what the outcome is. Also, show the DC path throuhg the devices by making that line red. I'm not sure what the requirments of the switch are, but the Diplexers are usualy very...

You can check with antennaweb to see how many stations you should get with a good outdoor antenna. You already get better indoor signals than I can. My outdoor antenna is awesome. The more into the green you can get it, the less drop outs, you are likely to have. I sometimes get drop outs from...

The switch is small and requires your finger nail to move. Once it is set, it usually does not change. If you can move it and it doesn't feel broken, it probably is Ok. The Radio Shack near me had two returns and they were shipped to another store who requested them. The one I got was a...

Russ, the remote is pure junk on the Accurian The best you can do is replace it with something that can, (A) be programmed to operate the Accurian, or (B) be a learning remote, such as a Harmony model of your choosing. As for antenna, I went with a highly regarded Channel Master CM-4221...

I picked up my second Accurian today. They didn't have the remote and would not give any other discount, but I took it anyway. I made him give me cables though, they had to break open the packages for them, but I wasn't going to take a bare receiver and pay him the full clearence price. I got...

Save yourself the trouble and buy a learning remote. Many of us have bought a Harmony remote. I bought the 768, it works great on every component I have. I have 6 devices programmed, and 4 activities. I did a little fine tuning and really love the way it works. Joe

There was a band opening this morning and I did an update scan and ended up with 31 digital channels to watch. It didn't last long, but it was interesting. Try a update scan in the early morning hours, or at night, you might be surprised at how many channels appear. There might be a handful...

Solid signal had just about the same price as other sites, but they had a better shipping cost, and they shipped very fast. The yaggi antenna has a lot of gain, but is very narrow compared to the higher gain bow-tie models, like the CM-4228. The yaggi might need a rotator to be really...

I had Adelphia HD and the HD channels would turn to a white screen, no sound every so often. I got them to replace my tuner and I still had drop outs while trying to watch HBO, or any other HD channel. I dropped Adelphia completely now, and have Dish, FTA, the Accurian, and straight VHF analog...

I have been buying from solidsignal as well, and I give them two thumbs up. They are first rate. Also, I have the Channel master CM-4228 from them, and after i tried it, I rolled back to the CM-4221. The 4221 has a wider beam width, and less gain. The higher gain of the CM-4228 did nothing to...

I had great results with the Channel Master CM-4221. When I went up to the 4228, I still got good clear channels, but some of them started ghosting. The bigger antenna had more gain and was too directional. I am reverting back to the 4221. I also installed the Channel Master mast mounted...

I am using the CM-4221 at 35 feet, it gives me an fantastic picture and many channels in South Florida. I got it because it came highly recommended on the net. The 4228 is the bigger brother, good to 60 miles. The 4221 is a 45 mile design. I am getting channels more than 45 miles out, and I...

OK, I just did several tests, and then an deep search of the web on the Accurian. These are the facts that I can confirm. Many owners of the the Accurian in South Florida, can not receive WFLX-DT without a lockup of the receiver. If you can receive the Fox digital station with your...

Also, the Accurian will not receive WFLX-DT in South Florida. This is a well known problem with many owners of the Accurian in South Florida. If you own a Accurian receiver, I would like to hear from you. Can you receive your local Fox station? If you can, please give me the call letters...

One HD Channel causes lockup Has anyone else experienced a lockup of one particular channel of their HD tuner local channel lineup? I get every other channel with perfect reception. The WFLX station, which has two digital channels, both cause the receiver to freeze. The picture comes up ...

The receiver has HDMI, I had to buy an adapter to convert it to DVI.

I hooked mine up today. I bought a CM-4221 Channel Master bowtie antenna. It was good for 45 miles. I almost bought he bigger model, 4228, but I put it up at about 35 feet in Florida. Florida is flat.. I put the antenna up and didn't face it in any particular direction. I checked the...

I will assume that Cm stands for Channel Master, but can you say a few things about what you like about this antenna? How big is it, and how well does it work? how far from the tranmitters are you? Thanks

This one reason might be why so many of us have gotten units that look like they have been previously opened, and also, why Radio Shack has cleared themselves of nearly every one of them with this great price. mine is still in the box, I am trying to decide what the best antenna will be. I...
