I ended up going for the Clearstream 2V. It's hanging up in a rafter and gets everything but the low VHF channel and WNAL. I checked details on WNAL, and the antenna seems to be focused West. I'm Northwest of that transmitter, and I think it's not likely I'd get much of anything on my end...

The channel it broadcasted on my affiliate station was originally This TV before it changed over last year. This TV was pretty awesome back when MGM owned it. It was run down after Allen Media bought it. The guy has a handful of good shows, but he can't seem to run an entire network channel...

The band should be about 2.8 to 1.8 meters on a half-wave dipole antenna. My understanding is that you would cut these numbers in half and measure out 1.4 meters for one piece of metal and 1.4 meters for the other piece of metal to get down to 54MHz and join the two in the middle with a 300 Ohm...

Did Allen Media pull the plug on the Grio? As of this morning, the Grio is showing up as unavailable on Allen Media's WAAY out of Huntsville. I know they had layoffs back in August. Another forum mentioned that Sinclair stations made an agreement to switch from the Grio to TBD this month.

They need an option to reboot in the software like Roku does for their units. That would be a lot easier and simpler process than a hard reboot.

Has anyone been having long wait times on their Tablo unit? I've got mine connected via Ethernet and with plenty of signal from a pair of rabbit ears according to the signal meter on scanning in the channels, but sometimes it seems like I can wait upwards of a minute or so before it will pull up...

After much frustration, I decided to forego my plan. With the antenna at full length. I was facing the issue of potentially puncturing my duct work with the UHF directors or bending the low VHF reflector on the back end. I could leave off a set of directors and the reflector, but I figured I’d...

I doubt they're encrypting it for the few dedicated FTAers out there. I'm betting there were reports of independent stations rebroadcasting their signals without going through the process of becoming an affiliate station. With the reduction of the band via the FCC auction, the interference from...

I tried to put in a full panoramic photo of the attic area, but the site said that was too big. Anyway, I opted for the Televes Dat Boss Mix LR Full band antenna. I did some measurements in the space shown, and I can just squeeze in the antenna without disturbing the duct work. It's a bit of a...

I don't see anything too exciting from the news. They mention viewers of broadcast, but they don't mention viewers of 3.0 specifically in their stats. The more I think about it, the more that it makes sense that if the FCC does go this route of selling up all but a few channels, then the...

Take a look at Lon TV's latest video on ATSC 3.0. The (expected) head of the FCC made a speech about auctioning off more TV spectrum in return for a move to 3.0. It was a speech made 4 years ago, but he probably hasn't changed his idea in that amount of time. He's still on the FCC and is...

It's likely too late at this point since sheetrock would be in the way of running that conduit.

I have a great signal location for my main OTA market, and I can sometimes pick up the next nearest market when tropo or night time ducting occurs with an outdoor set up at my old house. I'm trying to avoid an outdoor mount due to the fact that my house is the first home in the neighborhood. My...

I'm currently in the process of building a new home at the moment. When the sheetrock hadn't been put up, I had the electrical guy run RG-6 to the attic space at the far end of the garage. Now, the area in the attic where the coax runs were placed has a big air handler in the way. The house is...

The whole Dish/DirecTV is just trying to give the dying satellite pay TV format just enough steam to last maybe a decade before it dies off. Since it's a financial firm running the two companies, they might do like other financial firms that killed off the likes of Toys "R" Us and gut it for...

I agree with that. I think the networks are all about the paid subscribers rather than the ad revenue. I wouldn't be surprised if the primetime shows end up behind a paywall, and they toss us a bone every once in a while with older seasons of current shows to get people to pay to see the latest.

Oh great, more of the same syndicated programming that nobody asked for.

You also have to take into consideration the additional cost of installing those filters as well due to 5G interference. If the dish at your location directly faces a 5G tower, you might also have to build a Faraday contraption. That's why I wouldn't personally opt for one, but I'll let the...

DVDs had some of those same features in the beginning, but the only one that remained was the audio track selection. If the format doesn't collapse due to lawsuits and DRM, I'm pretty sure most won't care about those things.

I wish they gave you a free shipping tier option only. I don't have time during the year to watch any Prime video, and I don't care about music either. Like someone mentioned previously in this thread, the extras they bundle in aren't reallly "free". The shipping times have gotten pretty bad...

Yep, 3D TVs were all the rage in the early 2010s. Then, they ended up getting ditched for 4K. ATSC 3.0 tuners could become another door stop if the mess doesn't work itself out.

It's on 58.2 (formerly Stadium) in Nashville.

AT&T first formed its name as an abbreviation for American Telephone and Telegraph. You don't hear about people using telegraphs, but they still kept the abbreviation as-is. If it's not broke, don't fix it.

I noticed that their programming has basically morphed into the same type stuff as any other channel out there with the same syndicated content. The only original programming they air is during the primetime hours. It seems nobody wants a Nashville-themed channel like in the old days. TNN tried...
