    Antennas Direct Lacrosse Antenna

    Okay, I got the antenna today. I am impressed. I can compare it to the Winegard PR 8800 eight bay antenna. Right now the antenna is not mounted on the roof but rather near a window in my sunroom. It will be installed on my roof with my dish 1000 next weekend. Anyway, I dont pick up more...

    Antennas Direct Lacrosse Antenna

    I found this on "another" site. Looks promising: Well, spent 2 days putting it through the grinder, so I guess the easiest way to start this would be to describe what is bad. Because in reality, their isn't anything negative I can say. Heck, even the box it came in was very sturdy, which in...

    Antennas Direct Lacrosse Antenna

    Well, I think if I can pick fox up indoors with an 8 bay and I can pick up ABC indoors with a small Philips indoor antenna, that this will do the trick. As far as the other stations, I dont care about it as I will get all 4 networks (hopefully) when HDLIL starts with dishnetwork.

    These were on closeout quite a few months back 7 or so if I remember right. Maybe you'll get lucky, but I'd be willing to bet they are all gone.

    This is a multi-directional antenna with a fairly high gain. here is the link for the antenna itself: http://www.solidsignal.com/prod_display.asp?main_cat=03&CAT=&PROD=AD-LACROSSE-A I have found limited reviews around on this antenna. It appears to be pretty good from what I have seen. I...

    Radio Shack HD Tuner $89!

    My accurian is compatible with WLOS ABC in my area, whereas a directv stb was not. i have had others confirm this. I also had a an LG ota reciever and the accurian pulls in the signals much better hands down with the same antenna aiming. The remote sucks and the front panel down makes now...

    Well after all of that, I bought a new STB after reading about compatibility issues with older Generation chips and WLOS. I bought an accurian from rat shack with the 89.88 deal, and problem fixed! I have now figured out that the HIRDE8 directv hughes is not compatible with WLOS. I have...

    I dont know, there are antennas all over the mountains around me up high, but they look like cell towers to me. I am not really sure whats around. I am hoping that when the leaves fall off the trees it may make a difference. Its gotta be something, pegging out at 100% then just dropping 50%...

    If anyone is reading this, (it doesnt seem that way) I posted at the AVS forum. Folks there seem to think its an electrical interference, perhaps in the electrical current. I tried to disconnect many motorized things, other than my wireless network to no avail. I am right next the kitchen...

    Okay, no go on the Tri-Cities stations. I moved my 8 bay antenna around my yard at many different angles with same results. 100% signal then drops to nothing in a split second then back up. I then bought a set top amplified antenna, tried both amplified and non amplified with same results...

    I got this pm from someone else. I am going to try ABC from the tri-cities. but they are not full power. Looks like maybe Fox could be promising. I will post results when I get ir done! I live in the Tri-Cities (near Kingsport, TN) so I am familiar with your area. You do not indicate...

    Hope you dont think I am aiming a dish. This is an 8 bay antenna. I know trees can affect the signal, there are trees and mountains everywhere, guess thats the problem. Just pretty weird its 100% and drops every few seconds to 40-50 or so but only for a split second. This will happen even...

    Ota Asheville Nc Actually Swannanoa Nc East

    Okay I tried tweaking the antenna, it still drops suddenly. Its almost like something is causing interference. Can the cable run make this happen? It is about 50 feet right now, maybe an amp will help? I even tried elevating the antenna higher with no luck.
