I do live in Greenwood, SC (outside city limits) the closest (WNEH 38.1 PBS/SCETV) is about 17 miles North, and the most distant in my area I could get with my outdoor antenna if used 30' above ground level (WJZY 46.1 FOX O&O out of Charlotte, NC) is 101 miles North Northeast.

My 300th Post! :D Even though I'm in a moderate to ultra weak reception area, I get about 70+ OTA channels in various directions. I've recently got a 25' telescopic antenna mast with extra 5' mast and antenna rotor from ChannelMaster for Christmas. It hasn't been installed yet.

An average long range antenna goes up 100 miles (low and high VHF) and 60+ miles (UHF). In my area, I get three adjacent markets OTA from: Augusta, GA (line of sight path on most stations) Columbia, SC (2edge path) Charlotte, NC (2edge and Tropo) Greenville, SC (my home market, about line of...

TheCoolTV also gone on WMYA 40.2 (Owned by Sinclair unfortunately) and still shows color bars. I wanted to see AntennaTV or Bounce come to GSP since there's a lack over-the-air digital subchannel programming for African-Americans. Columbia, Charleston, Augusta, Charlotte, Myrtle Beach, Atlanta...

Does a preamp help boost the signals I receive over the air? Tell me why or why not?

UPDATE I decided to cancel my order of HBU44 at Solid Signal (since it was backordered) and went to Radio Shack and bought me a AntennaCraft Long Range Outdoor Antenna #C490 which was in stock at the store last Friday, and two days ago it was installed. Right now, it's currently pointed to the...

Thank you boba. :)

Iceberg, I've got backup plans. My next door neighbor has a Philips Amplified Indoor/Outdoor antenna model #SVD8622T/27 let me have along with the pole. It hasn't been installed yet but my cousin will do it tomorrow if the weather isn't worse. BTW, What's the best place to buy a directional...

Iceberg, it's just a temporary delay. It's backordered at Solid Signal :)

UPDATE I've got some bad news. The HBU44 antenna at Solid Signal has been backordered. But the good news, my neighbor let me have his antenna with the Philips pre-amp and pole.

I've finally bought me a long range antenna It's ALMOST time to replace my indoor Philips SDV1125T/27 antenna with a AntennaCraft HBU44 long range outdoor antenna from Solid Signal that cost about $58 and I paid the ground shipping costs. Since I'm in a violet zone and need a large directional...

Antenna Questions Besides my parents being D* subscribers. I also have an interest of getting free over-the-air local TV from my market and other adjacent markets. Will an old antenna like from the 1980s will work with HDTV sets to scan for over the air digital signals? Or not? I think I got...

1.)MeTV and ThisTV. 2.)NBC WeatherPlus (RIP) to ThisTV. 3.)None in my market. But in nearby Charlotte, NC WBTV dumped ThisTV on 3.2 and moving Bounce from 3.3 to 3.2 earlier this year. 4.)I've watched MeTV when I watch reruns of "Love, American Style", "Cannon", "That Girl", and "Family...

I saw a report about it from my local NBC station recently. It is a scam! :)

I've picked up WCSC 5 from Charleston, SC (174 miles from my home in Greenwood, SC) over the air this morning via my Philips Indoor Antenna. Neat! But only temporary. I've also picked up WAGA 5 and WPCH 17 from Atlanta, GA recently. DXing eh!

The farthest place I pick up OTA Digital signals is Atlanta, GA, Savannah, GA (no signal), and Raleigh, NC.

Thanks for the suggestions! :) One question on You can get all the network stations by pointing antenna(s) slightly west of north (ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, MYTV and CW) out of North Carolina. Do you mean Charlotte, NC or my home DMA?

Thanks Iceberg! :)

Guess how many channels I picked over the air in recent weeks! I've tried to go to http://www.antennaweb.org (Now I get "This Page is Under Construction" message unfortunately :( ) since I'm in a purple zone (which I need a Deep-Fringe Directional Antenna with pre-amp. Since most of the TV...

Besides D*, I used a Philips indoor digital antenna that was bought at Wal-Mart last year (I don't know what color zone it is for the indoor antenna). Here's my results: TV Fool On my Indoor OTA antenna, I get off-and-on signals of WYFF 4.1 (NBC) and 4.2 (ThisTV), I get mostly WJBF 6.1 (ABC)...

In my market (Greenville/Spartanburg, South Carolina), all of our stations is broadcasting local news in 16x9 widescreen (CBS/CW and ABC/MNT are doing news in HD). Also, all of the affiliated stations are broadcasting shows in HD. Does your market broadcast all local news in 16x9 or 4x3?

Back when analog was the norm. At my house, I picked up ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, and PBS from Augusta, GA. I've also picked up Columbia, SC ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, PBS. I've picked up CBS and FOX from Charleston, SC plus WCBD (ABC at the time, now NBC). I've picked up Charlotte, NC stations of CBS, NBC...
