I need a better indoor OTA antenna.
I made the mistake of monkeying with my existing indoor antenna and everything has gone to crap. I have the cheap rabbit ears with the circle loop right now. Before I touched it everything was good, but I tried to make it better. Now it is angry. Even the position of the cable running from the antenna to the 722 receiver is changing the signal strength from bad to worse depending on where I move it.
My TV is right next to the sliding glass doors onto the deck so I'm not that far from the outside. Recommendations would be most welcome.

I like the CM4228 better
The miracle antenna as I call it. But that's not indoors either, although I've seen one indoors.

I prefer the homemade 4221.

Hi Digiblur,
Does your home made antenna work on HI-VHF. I need an antenna that can work on VHF 7 and 12 plus UHF 19 to 63. I am in an apartment, patio facing south (took it for getting LOS for sats), where as all transmission towers are in North. There is no LOS to any Tx tower for me. I made a home made antenna similar to one made by [url=http://www.lumenlab.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=9613&st=650][I]BluBtl[/I][/url] and it works OK, leaving frequent breaks.
I prefer to keep the antenna in the storage room so that it is not visible to our apt owner. Any suggestion is appreciated.
I like the CM4228 better
They bot have their applications. I have a 4221 and get more channels than neighbors with the 4228. The weak point of the 4221 is the narrower beam width. I live close in to a city so the better beam width of the 4221 gets me al the cities in my area and some in the next. The neighboring 4228s just can't do that.
But if you are 50 miles form the transmittters and they are more or elss in a staright line go for the 4228.
Does someone still have the diagram showing how to connect two Hopper 3s again?
I currently have one H3 and one 4K Joey, set up through a 1000.2 eastern arc hybrid lnb and solo hub.
The plan is to replace the Joey with the second H3. Already purchased a duo hub and I have three coax cables coming in from outside, from back when I used to have the older 1000.4 dish and the hopper 2. I don't fully remember, but I think the other two coax cables are just tied up next to the dish outside; will have to check again.

Over the past few weeks, I have had problems connecting to streaming services (Netflix, HBO et al). When I go to the TV's native Channels, I have no problem. The Dish internet troubleshooter shows I have a good internet connection. I'm wondering whether it's an issue with my internet provider or a problem with the Dish software on the Hopper Plus. Anyone else seeing this?

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

I know HipKat said that they were working on conversions but we got the official news yesterday right from Dish that starting next month all DMA's will be on the western arc, and all customers will be assigned to that. That's gonna mean a lot of customers around here aren't gonna get Dish unless there are exceptions. Too many mountains and trees.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.

It's dead, they just don't know it yet. They killed it by forcing DRM on it, and that TOTALLY botched implementing it.
There is absolutely NO compelling reason for anybody to switch to ATSC3.0. They only want it as a total and complete money grab.

WHAT ABOUT THE INTERNET PART OF IT. NO ONE WANTS A BOX CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET EITHER.
