What would your recommend in the Santa Clara area near 237? Would that be a good area for reception? With my RCA Ant200 indoor antenna I can get NBC,CBS but...
With a rooftop antenna, you should have no problem getting those. I'm further south than you are, and I get (listing DTV stations from the SF area only) KTVU,...
Hello I posted this problem a couple of months ago and would like to try it out again. I am using a Toshiba DSDt 3000 receiver, with a ChannelMaster 4228. I am...
Hi Thom, Interesting problem!. I also use the DST-3000 so tell me what signal numbers you get on the solid channel and the problem ones. Also, what is the...
You say you get a strong signal - is that by seat of the pants observation, or from a signal strength meter? what grade coax are you using between the antenna...
... the signal strength I am getting is on the toshiba's installation menu and shows 100 on all channels when things are good. When it deteriorates It jumps...
I have a Radio Shack FM-VHF-UHF antenna available that I'm giving away free. All you have to do is pick it up in San Francisco. It's been on the roof for...
Thom, I very much doubt that a preamp is going to help you on anything but NBC. The signal levels you are seeing on the others are more than adequate. If your...
From the specs it would appear that the HD9095 is the better of the two antennas. It has a wider beamwidth, better gain and F/B ratio. Now before I run down...
I bought an omni directional antenna from radioshack.com, and connected it to my new SAMSUNG HD box. It took about 3 different tries, but I can get CBS from...
... A wide beam width is not necessarily a good thing. Better antennas have a narrower beamwidth and a higher front to back ratio. So you want high gain,...
A wider beam width means that an antenna will pick up signals from a wider angle. It also generally means that it has less gain, but this is not always true....
ETA on Comcast with first areas up in six months if they are lucky. You need to have digital phone service in your area to be considered upgraded for HDTV....
I'm up near Skyline borderline of SSF, Pacifica and San Bruno. I don't need to move or rotate my antenna at all after I found the best location, I did spent...
Don; I am in line with the air craft coming down the coast. What would you suggest I try next. Is there a filter that will take out the air line frequencies?...
Ouch! Sorry Thom, there is no immediate help for reflections from aircraft. They are large reflecting objects moving between your antenna and the TV towers and...
My mistake, I'm not as familiar with Winegard as Channel Master so I guess I should have looked it up first. I was thinking of the HD8200P. Disregard the...
My goal (hope) is to be able to pick up Sutro AND Monument peak from San Jose. I know I will need a yagi for channel 11 as I wont have a roter. So with the...
I think the only thing that will help Thom is a better next generation receiver that has a large cache memory and lots of error correction. ... ADVERTISEMENT...
It depends on where you are in San Jose. If you are over on the east side the two locations maybe close to lining up. On the west side, they are further...
Direct TV already beta tested for local HD channels in the Bay Area in DEC 2002.so there is no truth in the never carry local channels talk. The are aleady ...
Phillip, What are your sources? Just to compare my information to yours. 1) DirecTV tested local HD feeds in Dec 2001. Haven't touched it since. Test was to...
I agree! Let's hope it happens soon or it is going to be hard to develop a mass market for HDTV with the very limited content we are seeing today on cable/sat....
I have seen so much in this group about satellite and cable that I assumed that a day would come when I would be the only person left in the SF Bay Area who...
... There's so precious little HDTV in my area (Monterey) that I'll take whatever I can. Channels 8 and 11 both can be received OTA just fine here, but (a)...
You have chosen to live in a beautiful city without much HDTV. That is not my point. For those who live in an area where they can get OTA HDTV, they are...
