I've had one of [url=https://www.ebay.com/itm/AntennaCraft-U8000-8-Bay-UHF-Outdoor-Antenna-HDTV-Bowtie-34-Electronic-Elements-/271417338061] THESE [/url] type antennas on a mast in a tripod on the roof of my house now since back when digital TV was first made available. Here is a list of the channels I was getting up until recently:
7.1-3 WDBJ CBS
10.1-3 WSLS NBC
13.1-4 WSET ABC
21.1-4 WWCW Fox
27.1-4 WFXR Fox
29/1-3 WVIR NBC
38.1-6 WPXR ION
43.1 HOPE NOW
Now, I'm no longer able to get 29, 38 or 43 and this is with the coax connected directly from the antenna to the TV with NO splitters/switches etc in the circuit. The RG6 coax run from antenna to TV is about 35ft and I'm using solid copper center conductor coax, NOT copper plated steel center conductor, if that matters.
I read where some of the digital station stuff had changed recently and I'm wondering if this could be the reason for the missing channels?
Another thing I was wondering about is, do these type of OTA antennas "wear out" and have to be replaced over time??
Thanks
