A single antenna seems to work. I got a Winegard HD 7694P and I'm pointing it at San Bruno Mt (to get NBC). It picks up the Sutro Tower signals from the back /...
I shouldn't declare victory too early. :) I don't receive the Fox channels (2, 2.1) when pointing the antenna at SB Mt instead of at the Sutro Tower. While I'm...
I discovered the place I'm renting (2 story condo) has a fairly large antenna in the attic, I hooked it up and lo-and-behold, I get quite a few digital...
Chris... Replacing the splitter with a barrel splice should help increase signals a little. Since you get 65.1 and 11.1 so well from Mt. San Bruno, you should ...
I would try to put a Channel Master 7777 preamp in the mix. Put the preamp at the antenna and power it at the other end. If the splitter has only one...
... I've had excellent results with the Motorola Broadband Drop Amp Signal Booster. It's been in place for about 4 years now. It's a powered amp and I have it...
I have one of these in my attic and am very happy with it. https://www.tselectronic.com/winegard/ap_preamp.html I have the AP8700 in Palo Alto. You want more...
... Will try that - another Q on amplifiers: Will the current crop of UHF/VHF amps (including the CM 7777) work fine on digital broadcasts? I've not found...
The CM 7777 works just fine for digital, since I am using one currently for DTV, and I'm feeding 3 TVs and a DVR from that one antenna/amp combo (in the...
In general, antennas, amplifiers transverters and similar RF machinery should work the same with ATSC and analog. The only time it might get a little finicky...
That's quite interesting, Larry, that FCC has not set minimum bandwith standards for HD. This will most likely lead to other OTA stations, in addition to 7.2...
The cable and satellite companies are providing just enough bandwidth to keep the customers from complaining too much. The quality is acceptable, but OTA is...
... There's different layers to that signal, though. First, there's the 19 Mbps MPEG datastream that you get from demodulating the ATSC signal. That is a...
HD is a video format, not a set of transmission standards. It doesn't make sense to require a minimum bandwidth for an HD video stream. First, there are far...
Comcast does not compress the broadcast channels (ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, FOX, CW) or the sports channels like ESPN. Most of the rest of the cable channels are...
... I'm not 100% sure they do this for Bay Area locals. They launched new satellites specifically to expand on local coverage and HD, but back in the day when...
KGO is providing 2 HD feeds today plus an SD weather channel. 7-1 looks bad, 7-2, the 2nd HD channel looks even worse. I don't think anyone ever looks at the...
Here Here!! I've already written to my old bosses at KGO and let them know about all of the negative comments on this group and on the AVS SF OTA Forum....
Hear, Hear! (Correct spelling :) Yet Another Weather Channel is just Yet Another Waste of Bandwidth. There are so many more efficient ways to get weather...
What in the world would be the motivation for this? I looked at the 7-2 schedule on KGO's website and it's mostly filler stuff and informercials. Why would...

Larry, thanks for the tip! I was trying to apply logic to this situation, but your observation that there is no rhyme or reason to RF turned out to be just the...
... I wish I had done this before putting up my antenna, but I'll pass along the advice. When contemplating putting up an antenna, if you're going to be able...
*Please note, the sender's email address has not been verified. Interesting article. No mention if this is SD or HD but if you're over 30 it probably won't be...
That method doesn't necssarily work as the output is considered secondary and may not be a "playable" display surface since it's not your primary display. best...
Found the exact model I bought for them working well.. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000A0BOB?smid=A2YLYLTN75J8LR&tag=dealtime-ce-mpfeed-20&linkCode=asn ... -- ...
I need the VGA port for my monitor. No VGA input on the TV. I can run the S Video now, don't I need something with a Component or HDMI to get 16:9 HD? Keith...
... The device at the Amazon link had a pass-through port for your monitor. That is, you plug a cable from the computer to that box, then from that box to your...
