Missing Channels

[captnemo]

I installed an Antennacraft 5MS921 on my roof (we live on the side of a mountain in north vancouver), and when I ran the digital auto-discover on my Sony HDTV it "discovered" 13 channels, but all of them are from the seatlle area (50 miles + from my receiver). None of the local channels were discovered and most of these have the transmitter approximately 5 miles from my receiver. Am I doing something wrong?

If your antenna and the transmitters are separated by a mountain, then the fact the transmitters are only five miles away is small comfort. The fifty miles between you and the Seattle transmitters is not a particularly long distance unless there are obstructions along the way.

My suggestion to you is to type in your address into the TV Fool TV Callsign Lookup (http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=80) dialog and to study the coverage map for each station that interests you. You might be surprised by what you see.

If you post a link to your TV Fool report, we would be able to look at your specific situation. http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=90

Mister Me I know you are doing you best to be help full , however you are sending the question askers off in odd directions and advice that takes them nowhere because they do not know what to do with it.
