    Only 6 and 10 right now are coming in. Could it be the blizzard?

    We continue to get all the locals (3.x, 6.x, 10.x, 15.x, 24.x, 47.x), even with alot of snow clumped on top of my antenna after the blizzard. We are on top of a hill on the west side of Rochester. I wonder if you may have some connector issues. I have heard moisture in the connections can...

    Well, I made quite the discovery this weekend! Running new cables may have helped, but ultimately what I learned is the tuner in my HDTV is not very good! I have 2 digital converter boxes which way out perform my HDTV as far as tuning in distant stations from my antenna! Which is sorta a...

    Ice knows me oh too well 8^) Yes, hockey mainly, although some others as well. Since my 6 footer isn't the best for s2 signals, thistv 24x7 would be a plus for the wife! Interestingly I had some time this am, and was getting some of the cities stations from the north including kstc 45! Also...

    I will have to see if I can find this locally, shipping is 3x the price of the balun! Do you know the difference between the CM 94444 and CM 3075? They look the same, perhaps it is just different part numbers? I think the reason my amp shows so cheap is it is an older model they must have...

    Studying this more, I get the feeling it isn't VHF I have a problem with, but UHF. I had been toying with the idea of extending the pole above my current setup, and putting a UHF only up from it. What if I got a 91XG, put it up about 4 feet, and then a channel master 7777 so that I could...

    Are you suggesting the CM 4228 as a replacement, or in combination with my existing antenna? I already get channel 10, so I wasn't sure this was getting me anything more than I already have. The amp I have is model 15-2507 (an antenna mounted high-gain signal amplifier). There is a box...

    Bummer, didn't realize it would not be readable! Zip is 55901. The channels I get: 3.*, 6.1, 10.*, 15.*, 24.*, 47.*, and analog 56 and 58. On a good day I can get more, but I am trying to figure out how to get more all the time. Thanks!

    My project this fall has been doing what I can to try improve my digital OTA reception. First order of business was some repair work on my antenna. The 1st attachment is a photo of my antenna prior to repair (you can see a few of the splines were missing). With some aluminum tubing and...
