    When Analog goes dark

    and what are they gonna do about my sony vcr date? I paid 500 for the thing in 1991 and the calendar stopped a year or so ago. Do they only think their machines will last so long?

    Bad antenna install, need opinions please

    If you find out please let me know. Actually oops, no, I need ch 6 in 2009..darnnit. Would plugging the db8 into the tv now and getting an analog signal be any indicator if i'll get in the digital.

    Bad antenna install, need opinions please

    well Id never know when i had a bad signal unless i was watching live tv so a rotor wouldn't help me at all ;) I dont watch live TV at night...ever. Takes days to get to some programs and I wouldn't know if it was a bad signal until too late. so in order to monitor bad signals, i'd...

    Bad antenna install, need opinions please

    can't use a rotor with tivo :) and everything is perfect now. Haven't missed a single show and am even able to get in a weak PBS most of the time. I'll gladly accept the poor signal because heck, i didn't get one in at all before. I dont watch pbs normally but already tivo'd 4 shows this week...

    Bad antenna install, need opinions please

    yup that's why for after the chimney didn't work i wasn't mad at him. I purely thought, as most people told me..go HIGHER! :) and rest assured, he put it exactly where I wanted it this time. I made him go back and forth on the roof while i went back inside to flip the channels for over 2...

    Bad antenna install, need opinions please

    welp, spent a total of 400 bucks over 2 visits but think we finally got it. I had the installer walk the length of the roof, trying ever foot or so. And he even tried my higher roof but that was actually worse. Probably the neighbors house in the way or something. I'm definitely shooting thru a...

    Outdoor antenna needed in Lansdale, PA

    I always wondered why you'd see them around philly stores etc on the show. Weren't there some guys (furniture guys?) that also were philly?

    Bad antenna install, need opinions please

    no, i had originally called and said i have decent signals on all but fox so i wanted it mounted on the chimney instead of in the attic. I assumed higher is better. Obviously not in my case. I guess it's a few feet horizontally that matter. so am i in trouble because he took my word instead...

    Bad antenna install, need opinions please

    Note I want WB/UPN so waiting for the HDdvr doesn't help me right now. local installer ($60 per hour) that I hired to put the DB8 that I previously bought on the chimney won't be back in the office until Monday so I wanted my options before then. I had it in the attic but couldn't get in...

    Antenna for OTA HDTV

    well i didn't get a look at what brand it was but when the installer did my DB8 today, his preamp did worse than my amp so I kept the amp. so if anyone needs a boost for a long run, the home depot one seems decent

    Antenna for OTA HDTV

    I only heard that after I got my db8. hopefully directv's locals will be satisfactory enough for me to get once the DvR comes out next year. I'm having a hard enough time getting WB and FOX in now but now I see if 6 moves back down to 6, then the db8 will be useless for that channel.
