    Problems receiving OTA outside but not in attic?

    Does the DB8 allow the bowties to move independently? That's what drew me to the DB8E as I have some in different directions. However, I have just put my older Channel Master 8 tie on my roof and a little tweaking and I get all the channels I need in at 80+% so I should be good. Thanks guys...

    Problems receiving OTA outside but not in attic?

    Just to give you guys a follow up, the power supply isn't working properly. There is no red light lit up on the module that they gave me. I only got it to come on once or twice but very briefly. So I tried another piece of coax thinking this was it and still nothing. So its either the module...

    Problems receiving OTA outside but not in attic?

    The mount is on the back half of my roof. I would say about equal with the antenna in my attic. I think I am going to try and bring the one in the attic outside and see what that gets me. Any tips on how to get it pointed into the correct direction? If I end up using 2 antennas, I assume I...

    Problems receiving OTA outside but not in attic?

    No, I wasn't able to pull the other networks off the side strong enough in the attic to receive and not much better outside. Guess I just have to fiddle with the outside antenna a little bit more. Would the DB4E be that much better outside? "Claims" to be that much better but unsure at this...

    Problems receiving OTA outside but not in attic?

    Here is my results. Hope this helps. The channels I watch the most are WNYS, WSYT, WSYR, WTVH, WSTM. I am using RG6 coax as well. On Solidsignal.com the MS2002 comes recommended to my zip code of 13031 so I figured I would be good to go which makes me wonder if there is something wrong with...

    Problems receiving OTA outside but not in attic?

    In the final steps of cutting my cable and I have an older Winegard 8 bay antenna in my attic on a rotator. I can get almost all of my channels mainly in 1 directly but 2 of the major networks are in opposite directions. I am using an older Tivo to DVR my OTA and I am trying to figure out how...

    OTA DVR? Looking to pull the plug on cable....

    I appreciate all your help guys. I do have a Roku 3 on its way but then am thinking that maybe I should go with a blu-ray player w/ apps. There are just too many options. I did view the AVS forums but some of what they are talking about is a little above my understanding. I think I will go...

    OTA DVR? Looking to pull the plug on cable....

    Any have any experience with the OTA tuner on the Roamio? I don't want to sink $100's into something that won't work...maybe I'll wait to see how the Channel Master DVR's work out when people receive them. I've been researching the Tivo Roamio and they seem to get good OTA signal strength...

    OTA DVR? Looking to pull the plug on cable....

    Thanks guys. I was just on the Tivo website and found the Premiere is the one. They are only $49 now until the end of January but its the $500 lifetime fee that is killing me. However, in the long run, I will still be ahead about $600/year for the 1st year since cutting cable. I would be...

    OTA DVR? Looking to pull the plug on cable....

    I am looking to pull the plug on cable and I have my OTA antenna setup in my attic and I can get all my local channels. However, some of the shows I watch are on after I got to bed. I heard that there were specific DVR's, I think from Tivo, that could work. Walmart had a Magnavox...

    Rotator problems...

    Well, my rotator appears to have died...but I'm unsure. I have a digital box that controls my rotator. It seems that when it gets damp or really wet out it stops working. Anyone have any suggestions? I was just going to buy a Channel Master brand to replace it.

    What is wrong with this picture? Need help figuring out problem.

    Well, I went outside and climbed on top of my shed to disconnect the pre-amp and put it directly into the antenna. Damn! Its cold out!!!!! The line now goes directly from my antenna to my Dish 622 OTA input. I get the channels in briefly but it cannot lock onto them. The are some hills...

    What is wrong with this picture? Need help figuring out problem.

    I have the antenna on a continious run of RG6 with no breaks. The only place that my Dish equip comes into play is when I hook it directly to the receiver to receive the OTA channels. Other than that, nothing is hooked up to the dish itself. My setup is like this. From antena to pre-amp...

    What is wrong with this picture? Need help figuring out problem.

    I am a little new to this so you will have to excuse my question. What exactly is the balum? The problem I think I am having is that I cannot mount the antenna on my house so it is in my backyard mounted to my shed. Its running on roughly 100' of RG6 cable so I am sure I am losing some signal...

    Thanks. I already looked it up on Warren Elec and saw that it was just a little over $50. I can't wait to see what the difference is. I thought the bigger the better but that doesn't seem to be the case. I'll let you all know what happens. I use my Dish 622 so I can DVR off them if needed...

    Thanks for the response Rick0725. I guess it does pay to put your location. :) I did hook it directly into my JVC HD-ILA tv and I did get a Fox signal but it was very bad and I couldn't even get a clear picture. I will try swapping out the pre-amp first. The family wants American Idol in HD...
