View Full Version : Trouble with only CBS

Of the four main networks, I'm only having trouble with CBS. Here is what I am seeing - along with the Signal Strength Meter that I activated through my
TIVO Roamio.

I'll have a minute or so of clear reception followed by trouble like shown above for a few seconds. This cycle repeats constantly any time of day or night and weather does not seem to matter.

Please see this Signal Analysis Report:

I noticed that CBS does not share the same direction and distance as FOX, NBC and ABC (all rock solid). However, I checked a few channels that ARE apparently on the same tower as CBS (like 27.1 and 33.1) and they are crystal clear and steady.

I'm using one of those small, "rubber placemat" antennas (Amazon Basics) mounted about 13 feet above ground in the attic, vertically and facing the towers.

Any ideas for fixing CBS reception?

Assuming no amplifier, move the antenna and try again. Repeat as needed.

If any amp is installed, remove it and try again.

Looks time like most of what you seek is in the same general direction

Something like the Clear stream 2V attic mounted pointed in one direction should get about everything

I think you've answered your own question. Try a better antenna, I prefer roof top, attics can play havoc on reception.
