Ok,if it comes to it after raising this antenna,I might stack another antenna on the pole. Question is; Since there is about 30% loss using a splitter will the 2nd antenna need to be the most expensive type to overcome the splitter loss? I realize all My other variables may make it difficult to answ...

Ok,I think I got that part now,all things are not equal,,even from the same station.Thanks. I may have a longer pole coming,My neighbor lady's BF has some sections within 25 miles of here.Sounds like I'll get the antenna up to between 24' - 26',roughly a 10' raise.I'm guessing that will help for now...

Sub channels; Why are sub channels recieved differently in the sense that,say,5.1 will pixelate when 5.2 will be clear? I assume they come from the same station,are they on different transmitters/antennas of varying power/position? Or,,is it *all* in My antenna's orientation? I think soon I will be ...

LOL alot!! Yes I surely do Greg!

Man alive! Mention money and zoom zoom zoom,the moderators come rippin outa the woodwork! That's good tho,very good on a site like this! I tend to agree with the replies that amount to "it depends on the purchase price". How is the rest of the home? How many acres? Who plows snow and what ...

Agreed Yanita,I think it's the same idea with floor drains and such,they rarely get water. A showstopper for bugs in a drain would be soap poured in,coats them then they can't breath through their skin/bodies,exoskeleton,,lol,or whatever it is. As for Me,I have to remember to rinse beer cans or I ge...

If I remember right there are gnats or something like that wich can breed in or around the drain traps. Not sure how they could if the water is run through daily,maybe the eggs hatch fast or something. Drain Flies,,does that sound familiar? --Drain Flies Also called moth flies, sewer flies or filter...

Sounds like You are in a similar boat Mark,main difference is cable is not an option here. It seems dishtv has a 6 month $10 deal right now,I don't know what that price goes to after the promo deal tho. In the long run I think having the conversion set up will be much cheaper,just need to go without...

It seems I'm talkin to Myself here,but then that's nuthin new. Maybe this info will help somebody somehow. Well it seems My reception likes night time.I woke about 7:00 and lost all channels by about 9:00. I didn't look at the signal meter last night but it showed 24% this morn wich dropped to 14% b...

Strike My last post! I got it working! At 2AM! Hooked it back up,read the big book instead of quick setup sheet,,,,,,,,nuthin. Thought I was still done-in,then one more try. Reset to factory settings,did channel scan,,,,,,,,,,,14 channels! Woooooo flippin hoooooo!! A few channels are repeat ones and...

No Sir,no amp here as yet,I didn't need one at all up on the ridge and got by decently down here in "the bowl",for analog that is. My antenna is an estimated 16' up from ground level,the ridge around the bowl is considerably higher,not 100' feet or anything,but alot more than 16',with tree...

Well I buzzed to town and bought an RCA DTA800B1 converter box,set it up,scanned 4 times,,and,,,,,,NADA,,ZIP,,ZILCH,and,,nuthin.No digital channels whatsoever. Connected the antenna back the way it was and analog is fine like before,getting the same channels,one of wich is 80+ miles away. Living in ...

I agree with silicone caulk and acrylic is usually good too. It will cost $5 a tube but is worth it. Clean the area,dry,apply a 1/8" bead as fast and nice as You can,then tool it with Your finger tip. If You don't like the look just peel it out and try again,one tube of caulk will circle the si...

Just tell the kids it is Casper The Friendly Ghost! Tell them they can wish to casper for a piece of candy,then,when they aren't looking,put the candy near the vent! Kazammo! No more scared kids! Zippin around with a sugar buzz but not scared! I can understand noises when it is running or heating up...

I was ready to get ready till I saw the above article. Will probably get boxes before the original cutoff date tho,wanna test My antenna for dig reception,plus,if some stations are going to totally switch and some reduce analog signal I may well lose reception anyway. It is really hard to guess wich...
