Just recently I seem to have lost the ability to receive VHF signals on my OTA module--UHF is fine. I get a few very snowy channels. I've tried 2 different antennas, and verified VHF signals on other TVs with rabbit ears...
The OTA module receives digital signals (and HD) fine (which happen to be in the UHF range in my city).
Is it possible for only the VHF portion of the module to crap out?
I've removed it and re-seated to make sure all the contacts are good.
Rebooted the unit with an unplug poweroff.
Uh, let me add, that this started happening after some horrendous electrically active thunderstorms hit a few days ago... my antennas are in the attic, and weren't struck by lightening, otherwise I'd have much bigger problems :shocked ...
My dishes are grounded of course, and the single cable comes into surge suppressor before going to the 6000...
Did lose power for a while, and there was at least one lightening strike within a mile of my house.
If that's responsible, is it conceivable only the VHF capability would be lost out of the whole OTA module?
