[Scott Greczkowski]

Scott, what are you using for the ota antenna?

A pair of RCA non power rabbit ears.

This is in my office way up here in the sky.

Ah, I thought you were using the new ATSC 3.0 tuner at your house. The ss must be pretty good in the office.

Signal strength went from 93% to 99% when they flipped WCCT from 1.0 to 3.0

Actually we don't get that much up here. (but again I am using standard rabbit ears) I put my HDHR online at TV stations received at Hartford, CT-SatelliteGuys-4K tuner1

Are you using an LTE filter?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Nope.

 

[raoul5788]

Channel 61 is spotty at my house and I'm thinking it may be due to LTE interference.

Same here. Used to be rock solid for me.....

And I'm about 13.5 miles from the towers. You are probably less than 10.

I just ordered a CM LTE/5G filter to see if that will resolve the RF36 (WFSB) issue. No antenna issues. I was told back in 2019 that I may need a filter for my location.

Don't forget to give us an update on how it works.

Not receiving any of the 4 CT 3.0 OTA signals since 6pm tonight. I am just west of Danbury. Any thoughts.

You can always pick out the pioneers. They’re the ones with arrows in their back.

Sort by Virtual Channel as all the ATSC 3.0 channels show up with a 1 before then. (So for example channel 61 is 161)

Thanks Scott that's what I was wondering. Thought maybe they were doing work on them this weekend or something. So with my Sony X80J TV with the 3.0 tuner when I first scanned at about 5:30pm yesterday they came up as 3.1 1080p enhanced audio, 8.1, 20.1 and 61.1 then the signal dropped out but I still get them all in atsc 1.0 minus wfsb (which always breaks up this far west) but the 3.0 signal was holding well for a half hour. I read that some folks near Htfd were having 61 drop out so I didn't know if that was 3.0 and an indication that the 3.0 broadcasts were having issues.
But the channel numbering seems different for me. In my guide it lists 3.0 range as in the same uhf range I believe, highest number of 80 or so. I may contact Sony next week. I'd love to hear if others west of Hartford are receiving the 3.0 channels ok?

The HD Homerun does that.

I installed the LTE/5G filter tonight. I have noticed 32 (WRNT-LP RF32) and 3 (WFSB RF36) seem to be stable and no pixelation, which is a first.

I also realize I need the amplifier on as those two channels don't come in without it on.

I figured out what was going on and it was a TV issue, I called up Sony and they had me erase all of settings and do an initial scan and then the four ATSC 3.0 channels reappeared. And I'm happy to say the reception has been good, no drop outs.

do you guys have any information on ATSC 3.0 coming to the New York City area? It's listed as "Coming soon" on watchnextgentv.com, for what that's worth... I'm near Danbury CT, get ok (not easy) reception of the main Hartford channels, and difficult (but not impossible) reception of a few of the NYC stations. Tropo frequently brings in some of the Providence/New Bedford MA and Boston stations
