I'm thinking about installing a 48' antenna tower in Milford, Delaware with a HD OTA antenna. I'm also thinking about using a TiVo Romeo or the new Channel Master DVR that is planned to come out around 2014. I was wondering if anyone was using this type of system in Delaware and with what level of success. With any luck I hope to say good bye to Comcast once and for all.

Thanks for all of the information – I am trying to pick up as many stations as possible. The other problem I am running into is how to record programs to the DVR when they are in different locations and I am not home. Is anyone aware of a time programmable rotor that could be preset to automatically change direction at 8:00 pm on Monday and then reposition at 10:00 pm for a different station.

other than the Salisbury stations, the others are really a hit and miss thing unless you have a huge antenna.

I've never seen one

Slowmotion,

It would really help to have a TVFool report with your exact location. Location is everything, and if you're in a favorable location, that 48 foot tower could make all the difference.

That said, I'm not aware of a rotor with a timer either (though there are computer-controlled ones that you might be able to program for that purpose...) and you would probably want to choose a particular set of stations to use. Plus, the Salisbury stations might be close enough that you would be able to see them off the back of your antenna anyway, so for CBS, ABC, CW, and PBS, aim may not be as big of a problem.

You know, it's really a shame we can't get tv's or dvr's with DiSEqC code ability that could talk to a DiSEqC antenna rotor, and move it like a satellite dish mover when it switches to another sat automatically.

Yes, I know that there is (was, they are now discontinued) available a DiSEqC antenna rotor, but it doesn't have the ability to re-aim when the tv or device switches to a particular channel. That would be fantastic, and one of the final pieces needed for true OTA people.

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 like the Jimmy Fallon channel. This will be its third year. I like that it's all fresh each year. Also fun when he pops on live from time to time.

Terrible tragedy. You would think that they would have safe guards in place that would prevent something like this from happening. I guess if you are going to ride in a passenger train it might be best to get a car near the rear.

They will have to look at the switching sections to determine WHY 2 trains were on the same track ... at the same time.
