Yes. Early in the morning is the best for distant signals. It is all atmospheric. Even by mid morning the distant stations are gone.

The ViewTV STB would work nicely with your monitor. It pulls in OTA channels as well as digital clear QAM from your cable company. A really handy feature is the ability to remap channels to a different number. Add an external drive and you can use it as a DVR.

Doesn't your LG HDTV already have an OTA tuner?

Broadcast stations get paid by cable and satellite to have their content disributed. What economic incentive do they have to advertise free OTA? The people who should be advertising are the ones who supply and install OTA hardware like antennas and OTA DVRs.

Is it possible to use another make USB OTA Tuner other than the Dish USB OTA Tuner? The Hauppauge 950Q for example.

CoolTV is gone in Portland ME on 13.2 also (a Sinclair station). This subchannel has been nothing but trouble for WGME. Before CoolTV, there was the Tube and that channel suffered a similar fate. I would love to see ThisTV, RTV or AntennaTV come in its place. We all ready have 3 MeTV...

This is on their facebook page: We are experincing some technical issues and currently have engineeers working to get it fixed as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding.

Years ago, before the digital age, I lived in the Lehigh Valley. From my experience your best bet is to aim for Wilkes Barre/Scranton stations rather than Philly. In the city of Allentown, South Mountain blocks reception from Philadelphia. WB/S has a better line of sight. At that time all...

It is the TV, but it can be easily fixed. Go into the Vizio Setup Menu and increase the vertical size of the picture.

The PBS in my area, WENH 11, broadcasts 11.1 in 1080i , subchannel 11.2 in 480i and subchannel 11.3 in 16:9 480i. My Dish receiver displays 11.3 with no problem, but my Sony LCD wants to show it in 4:3. I have to use the Sony's Zoom format to widen the picture. The station engineer explained...

My local FOX affiliate gave me a similar problem..OTA said Digital Serivce even though the station was included in Dish LILs. Then one day I activated a second HD receiver, scanned for locals clicked on Select All and to my surprise the FOX OTA station info was in the EPG of 2nd receiver. I...

Same here, the DTVPal works the best of the three that I have tried (Insignia, Magnavox, DTVPal). Why isn't that on the list?

On both the DTVPal and Insignia boxes you can go into the MENU to add stations manually. From there you can enter the actual broadcast frequency. You will see if any signal is present and can also view it's strength. John

A splitter will not allow the 2 antennas from interfering with each other. In some cases this can actually make things worse than better. To properly add a single channel to the system, that channel's frequency needs to be filtered coming from the one antenna. The other antenna needs to have...

Mileage figures for antennas are usually meaningless except as a VERY ROUGH indicator of gain. Your best bet is to run a temporary line and just give the attic a try. A tripod mount will allow you to walk around and place the antenna on the floor in different spots. Make sure to try it in...

Just this past week I replaced the biggest UHF yagi that Radio Shack had, not sure of the number since I put it up years ago. In its place I put up a Channel Master 4248 UHF yagi which is physically almost the same size as the RS. The Channel Master out performs the Radio Shack on all stations...

And for all you Main-iacs... "The Tube" is also being broadcast by WGME the CBS affliate in Portland Maine. It is on the digital subchannel 13.2 replacing WGME's SD broadcast. WGME HD is still on 13.1. John

Go with the tripod. Aside from inviting physical damage to your bricks and mortar with a chimney mount, the gases coming out of the flue can corrode the connectors and aluminum elements of the antenna. This will shorten the life of your antenna and over time your signal will degrade. This is...
