    Nbc Hd

    I am watching the Ryder Cup on NBC HD but every 10 minutes or so the signal gets all goofy. Really ruins it for me. I am trying to determine if this is something that is going on with NBC's signal. My local station (WPXI in Pittsburgh) or on my cable system. Can someone watching this OTA...

    HD DXing

    Dumb question? ATSC is analog right? I remember as a kid we once got channels from Florida. (I lived North of Pittsburgh) If I remember right they lasted for a while. They were not clear but you could watch them. Never thought much about it until I stumbled on these web sites about guys...

    HD DXing

    How long do these signals last? A while, a few minutes, a few seconds?

    HD DXing

    Nice! Someday when I live in a house (Not a stupid condo with trees and hills everywhere) I hope to install an outdoor antenna and experiment with this. Or convince my brother to let me mess around at his place!

    Rumor

    Cool! I think we might try it. We are football nuts and hoping to see some CFL football! Hockey night in Canada would be great too!!! But this is all wishful thinking until we see what happens!

    HD DXing

    I was messing around and found some web sites about these guys who pull in TV signals from FAR FAR away. Anyone here ever mess around with doing that? What kind of equipment did you use? Just wondering. sounds like an interesting hobby.

    Indoor HD antenna

    I couldn't get it pointed in the right direction. Attic is too small. I thought that was the problem. Maybe I am wrong

    Indoor HD antenna

    I will let you know. Maybe this week-end I'll get a chance to go to radio shack and look for one. The area I live in is pretty hilly. So I am sure that is the reason it is all blue and violet.

    Rumor

    My brother lives in Erie PA. Now we heard a rumor that with a good antenna we could get stations from Toronto. Is this true? We checked antennaweb and nothing showed up. But then I thought maybe they did not show non US stations. It would be sweet to get some extra free networks at his...

    Indoor HD antenna

    My attic is not huge and I once tried an outdoor antenna up there but I couldn't get it pointed right and never got anything. About what size would I need? Also, out of curiosity, would a HD antenna also help with analog reception?

    When Analog goes dark

    What about local low power stations We have a couple of local low power stations where I live. They don't come in on my cable system and the only way I can get them is to pick them up via an antenna. I can't imagine they will have the money to convert. What does the government expect them to do?
