No the issue is with my UHF antenna. My cheap 8 bay works fine for all UHF channels but not for WVNY 22. People have good results with CM4228 in receiving VHF 13. This, and perhaps a good pre-amp, might be the only solution as going with separate VHF-Hi antenna for one channel is not practical. Usually the CBS, NBC and PBC 33 come in at 100%. Fox comes in at 60% and Mountain Lake comes in at 30 -50 % as the antenna is peaked towards Mount Mansfield.
I am exactly the opposite - my antenna is pointed at Montreal. The Mt. Mansfield locals are LOS and come in well, despite not having the antenna pointed at them.
CBS, NBC, ABC, PBS, and FOX are all in the 65 to 75% range and Mtn Lake is 50%. CTV TVA and CBC are in the 40s% at night, sometimes higher, and 20s and 30s during the day, making them flutter. SRC 2-1 really is not cooperative unless I point my antenna a little west of Montreal, which is weird. Good old multipath...
I hesitated to put my antenna in my signature, as I didn't want to get picked on. But it works great for me and has for several years. Mating squirrels damaged one of the elements, but hidden duct tape holds it in place.It worked well in NC, where it reliably got stations over 50 miles away and others over 80 miles to the north in VA at night. There were UHF and VHF, too. And it works well, here, too. Perhaps a better antenna would bring the Montreal channels in during the day. When I can afford it, a bigger antenna is high on the wish list. But I am not convinced because all the Montreal signals show -6.7 or lower on the dB levels on TVFool. Other people who have better antennas get nothing from Montreal, so I might spend money to gain nothing.
Back in the analog days, we got more French channels than English, growing up cableless in the 80s and beginning of the 90s. Most came in pretty well, too. Most people get more channels after the transition, but we get less. Stations like WWBI and WGMU just disappeared. Others (Sherbrooke and Montreal) are impossible to get, except the 4 I already mentioned. And, thanks to Nexstar, our subchannels are limited.
