I've got to admit I just stuck my head up in the attic and shined a flashlight around. I didn't see anything. Next time I visit him, I'll crawl up in the attic and have a good look. I was shocked when we plugged the cable directly into his tv and got the channels. When I started researching...

My friend said no antenna in attic, but he's even more clueless about these things than I am so I looked up there. Sure enough, no antenna. I checked tvfool a few months back. It indicated I would need a larger antenna 30 ft up to get the PBS signal. It's pretty hilly terrain around here. When I...

No clip on antenna. Just the dish. I built one of the bow tie antennas once sans reflector, but it worked only slightly better than the amplified rabbit ears I had been using. Mom has cable at her house with probably sixty channels, but she seldom watches anything other than CBS.

Just out of curiosity, I have another question. As I said, my friend receives ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox from transmitters that face the front of his dish. There is an AETN (Arkansas Educational Television Network) transmitter 50 miles away that faces the front of his dish; however, he receives the...

Since my friend's DirecTV dish is working as a good OTA antenna while aimed at the DirecTV satellite, I guess I will aim in that same direction and see if I can get the channels he receives. Those are really the only channels I want. I am a caregiver for my mom at her place for the majority of...

Once again I find that I'm totally ignorant as to how these things work. I assumed my friend was getting CBS, ABC, NBC, Fox, and PBS through unencrypted signals from the satellite at which his DirecTV dish was aimed. I didn't think the dish could be acting as an OTA antenna. The transmitters for...

I just purchased the GEOSATpro microHD M1 satellite system on eBay. Thanks to everyone for the advice, information, and help. Knowing that my first and foremost objective is getting CBS, ABC, NBC, Fox, and PBS, is there one satellite that would be preferable over the others for my location?

I will take a look at those sites. Thanks for your help, FaT Air.

Thanks for the generous offer, rsa2000. My brother actually told me today that he has an older Toshiba receiver that I can have if I decide to try to get my Dish setup going. At this point, I'm leaning toward the purchase of a new FTA system. With my inexperience, I'm thinking that may be the...

Thanks, FaT Air and Lone Gunman More details. I just moved in so I'm using rabbit ears now. I get Fox, ABC, and NBC reliably. I have to move the rabbit ears around to pick up CBS. The PBS transmitter is about 60 miles away so I can't get that signal. I have a friend about 7 miles away who was...

I live in central Arkansas. To get PBS with an OTA antenna, I would need a large one sticking way up in the air. I don't want to do this. I have, as far as I can tell, a Dish Network 1000-2 3 LNB setup (uninstalled) with everything except the receiver. Would I be better off buying a new FTA...
