Hello,
I recently upgraded to Voom and it is my first HD experience since buying my HDTV over 3 years ago. I love it. I have waited for my cable company to bring HD to me for well over 2 years and I was tired of waiting. I'm very happy with Voom. My wife was very sceptical about HDTV until she watched some HD programing. We watched the Lakers/Timber Wolves game last night on TNT HD and she was blown away. She (and I) can not believe the difference. My son loves the Discovery HD channel.
Unfortunately I'm only getting ABC over the OTA antenna. The guy installed the antenna on my roof and it appears to have a clear shot (no trees) where it is pointing (48 degrees). I live in Ripon WI (54971) and I'm 57 - 58 miles from the Green Bay stations. All the stations are at 48 degrees with the exception of NBC which is at 51 degrees. I live on a higher part of town. The guy installed a Winegard Prostar 1000 PR-7015.
Does anyone have some suggestions? Will an amplifier help? Madison stations are 64 miles and Milwaukee stations are 68 miles. Is it possible they have stronger signals and I might be able to pick them up? Is there anyway on-line to determine what stations signal strengths are?
I have called Voom and they said they will upgrade me. They think I should be able to get to digital OTA signals at less than 60 miles.
Thanks for any help!
