    Odds of pulling in stations 90 miles away?

    Just wait for the troposphere to do something funny and then you can pull it in with a 12 inch telescoping antenna off a radio that is soldered to a piece of coax. I think if you had a large antenna shoved 40 to 50 feet in the air, and had a pleasant landscape between the two areas you could...

    So I can take a splitter, turn it around, and use it to combine? Also, does anyone know the wavelength range of uhf vhf signals? Since I am on a metal roof, if this is anything like ham radio and scanner reception, I need the antenna at least a wavelength from the roof.

    I was hoping to pull in Quad Cities, Springfield, and St. Louis, however I'm not sure that will all be possible in the Macomb area land.

    You guys won't believe this... I was playing around today and went to the lumber store and got a 10 foot piece of 1 inch PVC. :) I went on the third floor roof and stood that baby up on end with a 12 inch radio antenna zip tied to it. OMFG, I was pulling in St. Louis and central IL TV...

    My thoughts are, if I can get 40.3 miles, or slightly better, with a 12 inch aluminum antenna I swiped off a radio, surly anything is better. I also have the option of going 10 feet higher. I learned with my ham stuff, higher is better. I was wondering, can I place five directional antenna in a...

    My zip is 62326. Is there a web site that shows where all the towers are? At the moment I have an old 12 inch aluminum antenna off a radio soldered to some coax. With that I am pulling signal from about 50 miles away (line of site). I have the antenna zip tied to a piece of wood that sands...

    Looking for an OTA tuner....

    Yea, I noticed that. So far I'm kind of looking at the LG 3410. And if I can't find one I can afford I guess I'm going after the CM 7000 or something; unless anyone has a better idea. I've looked all over ebay, and those are pretty much the only ones I can find that I like so far. It's also nice...

    Looking for an OTA tuner....

    What price range are we looking at for this device? I also saw in reviews that it misses a lot of channels, but sometimes finds them later. Is this an antenna prob? I'm new to HD OTA.

    Yea, my TV is a Sansui. I'm not sure of the model, but it works great with component ins. I've had several different DVD players and such on it.

    Looking for an OTA tuner....

    I’m looking for an OTA tuner with component and digital audio out. So far the best I could find was the channel master with s-vid out. It would be nice to have one with component, digital audio out, s-vid, and composite. Basically I’ve got a standard def TV that looks great (real deep tube)...
