Re: Antenna TV
That's the truth! If you can't find it there, you probably didn't need it anyway,
I think I've watched the Chiefs/49ers, Super Bowl a dozen times. I know, it always comes out the same, but............

I rarely ever buy a rifle, but when I do, it's a Henry.

Re: Antenna TV
I called them this morning and they were very helpful. He typed in my address and could tell me far more than what I was able to find out on my own. The sites I visited for coverage did not know the terrain. Their website did and told me I had to go up 200 feet to have a line of sight to the towers for best reception and anything less was a big drop in quality.Cowboy Gun Fan wrote: ↑Sun Sep 27, 2020 12:30 pmAlthough your antenna looks good, the best ones out there that I have found are from Antenna Direct. I have a single Double Loop just inside of the house and get 26 Channels. For super power they have a Double-Double Loop. Also, if you can figure out a safe way to mount it outside, the results will even be stronger.
We have too much lightening around here and I am not comfortable with putting mine outside. Although if I can find a fool-proof safe way, I would. Here is the link for Antenna Direct. Show is the Double-Double. You can click onto Home for more general info. They are great to deal with and will also send you a map of your area to determine what you can receive.

His recommendation was don’t try to get those stations and concentrate on the two stations that I can get. So I’m just going to use the one I have for now and maybe replace it when I get back from Texas.

Re: Antenna TV
My antenna came for Walmart, for $50, gets probably 50 channels, haven't counted them, so give or take a few. It's mounted on the outside 20ft. pole. I already had the pole & cable. After that it's free sailing.
As said above, if you have trees, etc. in the line of sight, could be a problem. It shows a TV guide to tell you about the show ( usually ). Looks like the old type antenna, only smaller. Range is about 70/80 miles. I'm about 40 air miles from Nashville.

Re: Antenna TV
I tried again and discovered I was not waiting long enough on a channel. After about ten seconds I’m getting more channels. Lots more. There are two major towers and I do need to aim the antenna in the correct direction for specific channels. I’ve also discovered I need to point the antenna up about 20 degrees.
This is a station I couldn’t get before and one that I wanted.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Re: Antenna TV
Re-scanning now and then can also be surprising.
Always scan on a good reception day though.
Many stations add "split channels" once in a while.
