View Full Version : Sudden trouble receiving CBS-NY

I live in northern NJ and have not had trouble before receiving CBS out of NYC until Monday. For the past several days now I have not been able to get any signal whatsoever from them. I am still getting the other stations (NBC, ABC, etc.) signals just fine as before. I have an attic mounted antenna and have even tried adjusting it without any luck (reaiming it to the left and right of where I originally had it aimed). Has CBS relocated its transmitter? I have checked the signal analysis and it doesn't indicate that it has moved - http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=29&q=id%3d5ed6d5e884f67b
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks,
BM

Try this:
Aim your antenna to 125 degrees magnetic.
Remove the antenna coax from your DTV set or converter box.
Run a scan (this will erase the stored channel information).
Reconnect your antenna coax.
Scan one more time (this will refresh the channel information in your receiver).
Let me know if this fails to restore your channel.

The following is a Teleview recommendation for broadcast Tv reception.
Can also communicate by phone with the engineering department.

Thanks for the suggestions. I rescanned the TV and it worked:D. I still though do not understand why I 'lost' the station in the first place since it had previously been scanned in the TV and had been working fine for some time.

The following is a Teleview recommendation for broadcast Tv reception.
There are many reasons , some reason are firm ware or equipment changes on the transmission end can disrupt reception in the Tv.
Also it is a good idea to rescan from time to time because new tv stations can begin transmitting without prior notice.
The old days of the Tv station staying the same year after year after year are gone.
