Same here - I can't get much OTA, which is why I have satellite. Really lame that I lost FOX. I'm within 60 miles of several FOX affiliates and I can't pull any of them in, no matter where I point my antenna.

Funny, but my network shows have dwindled down to one. That's Elementary since it's (however loosely) based on Sherlock Holmes. Well the other night I got to thinking, "I haven't seen Sherlock for awhile" and when I searched I didn't see where one had been recorded. So I decided to see if PTAT had picked it up and for some reason hadn't saved it. So I clicked on the PTAT icon and see where there was no CBS at all. That's when I realized that it had been taken down.
Well, I worked around HBO to catch the end of GoT and now will just wait until August 15 (when Elementary is scheduled to end) and I will do my free week of CBS All Access to finish it off.

I got the AirTV Dual Tuner adapter today and installed it. It picked up all of my locals and all of them except for the Fox channel that is a part of the Meredith dispute have the guide info.
Is there any way to get the guide info where I can record the shows? This was the only reason I bought this.

Mine populated eventually except for one sub-channel. Took a few hours. I couldn't pick up FOX where I live either, which is the station I lost.
I don't know what's up with that station but I have NEVER been able to pick it up over an antenna. I have lived all over this area, including Mobile, and it has never come in. I've tried indoor, amplified, outdoor, nothing works.
I can pick it up most of the time. Tonight is is pixilating(sp) bad. It is the weakest station I have.
Dude, figure they are not coming back anytime soon.
Besides the OTA signal is cleaner and gives you extra tuners in addition to the tuners in your hopper
Not when the signal is difficult to receive and pixelates.
WALA is on RF channel 9. If you try to get it with a UHF antenna - FAIL!
WALA is also 1 or 2 edge unless you get above 50 ft AGL, maybe more, very height sensitive.

I have Antenna Direct 91XG UHF yagi and it is an excellent UHF antenna. We have no high band VHF out here, but I read that is will pick up 7-13 (RF) within 25 miles (UHF is 70), so if we ever got a high band VHF, I should still get it.
Count yourself lucky.
I got all my VHF houston channels on my older antennas direct clear stream 4 (UHF) antenna until a year or so ago. Then the signal became degraded.
The solution was to add a VHF antenna kit. Problem solved.

Don't remember the brand. It's a screen reflector with six bow ties toward the signal. This configuration wasn't covered in my extra class study materials years ago.
If you're in a strong enough signal area, you could pick them up with a paper clip.
Don't laugh but the TV in the breakroom where I work does actually have a paper clip as the antenna and it gets all channels
I have a CM 4228 as well and it gets channels 7 and 11 here. But most UHF antennas will not have that capability. That's why I said it depends on the antenna.
