[VOOM] What once was lost-reappears..

[Robert Heitner]

Hi. As some of you know, I have not had my local ABC channel since the
installation < 2 weeks ago. My firefighter friend was going to come over
today and help adjust the position of the attenae but by the time he got
home the weather turned fowl. Anyway I've haven't missed ABC since
everything is re-runs and I'm not a basketball fan so I could care less
about the game on tonight. But during a commercial of Crossing Jordan on NBC
I was switching channels and lo and behold guess what came in clear as an HD
bell? yep.. ABC. The picture was just mind blowing awesome. I don't care for
basketball but my mouth was on the floor at the clarity the channel came in
(it was being broadcast in HD as you probably know). It was just flat
awesome.

... then 20+ mins later POOF! it was gone again and still is.

My question is if my antennae isn't positioned right and I have yet to get
the channel since my installation, how did it come thru tonight for those 20
or so minutes?

Really confused...

[VOOM] Hey, Robert, you mentioned the key word "foul" weather

Aiming the OTA is critical as we have found out. Likely the weather
particularly if there was any wind changed your antenna position
just enough to bring in ABC and then poof it was gone. Your
firefighter friend should be able to help you out.

Leaving posting for Six Feet Under and then Deadwood in HD, of
course, under mostly cloudy Seattle skies, Gill

I was having a lot of trouble with ABC (signal strength in the high 40s) here in L.A. for about a week but it seems to have stablized at around 64. No problem watching the game last night other than the fact that the Pistons seem to be a much better team.

the real kicker is that ABC's broadcast of the games is not considered very good. Closeups and good but the overview shot is kind of soft. If you think that's awesome, wait til you see a basketball game on hdnet. Oh wait, we'll never get hdnet. bummer
