... I would substitute the AntennaCraft Y5-7-13 or the Y10-7-13 around here for the 3016. We don't have any low VHF DTV stations (and won't after Feb), and if...
Does anyone know whether these (or any) test patterns are available via Comcast? I can't find a channel called HDNet in their listings. Thanks, - Bob in...
Comcast doesn't carry HDNet. I believe the MOJO channel shows them every Sunday at 7:30am (I'm not in front of my computer so I can't check for sure). ... -- ...
I live in far west San Jose, almost in Cupertino, and am planning to go strictly OTA as soon as I get all my gear. I have a question for all you RF guys on the...
... I use an Antennacraft Y5-7-13 in Santa Clara and KNTV-DT comes in 100%+ with it. I've actually turned it 180 degrees to try and catch KSBW-DT and KCBA-DT...
I was wondering if just having a CM 4228 is enough to get all the big channels in, by big I mean network owned, after the transition. It seems like ABC is...
I mean, it's not a channel I watch regularly, but I think something's wrong with it, I'm getting 100% signal strength and 90% signal quality, but nothing is...
I spun my VHF beam south-east this afternoon (I'm in Santa Clara) to see if I could get KSBW and KCBA from Fremont peak. The problem is that even off the back...
... Depends on a lot, mostly where you are. The CM4228 can "sort of" work on high VHF, but the one page I found (at hdtvprimer.com) showed that it had nulls...
... I live near the crossing of El Camino Real and Lawrence Expressway (in Santa Clara). I have a CM 4228 that is pre-amplified with a CM7777 and then...
... That does help the high VHF performance of the antenna, since my understanding is that you're basically using the grid itself to receive high VHF. If...
KCNS-DT has a problem with the digital modulator right now. They are working with the manufacturer to fix it. All digital exciters that I'm familiar with fall...

I have Terk HDTVa antenna, it got most UHF here in Los Gatos, but never KNTV. With rabbit ear of the VHF, what exactly should i configure the two sticks to get...
... The correct length of a dipole antenna in feet is 468 divided by the frequency in MHz. The center of channel 12 is 207 MHz. That's about 27 inches. So each...
In Los Gatos you will most likely need more gain than a dipole which has unity gain. Your Terk probably has more gain on UHF channels. Even a properly bonded...

Since you get 26 and 65 all that should be needed is a VHF antenna with the same gain as your UHF antenna has. Somebody should make an indoor antenna with...
