Interesting; I did not consider that, but it makes sense. WNEM is listed as -43.0 dBm signal PWR for an antenna in the clear. If you add the antenna gain of at least 10 dBd, that brings you up to -33...

Sorry to hear you are having trouble with UHF, but how is CH 12 now?

You are certainly justified in suspecting the preamp, but don't ignore the possibility that something before it, or even after...

Thank you; glad I enlightened you a little.

The channel 12 signal reaches landfall on the west side of the "Lake" far above US10, because it crosses at an angle, not straight across. The terrain profile follows the green signal line; it is not...

I think the vertical scale exaggeration is misleading you.

The average peaks on your side are at 680 feet; the tall one is only 15 feet more than that average. It would be difficult to see that...

I think your post #18 was on target. The increase in antenna separation, and a little more height might help, but the trees are a big problem. Maybe Mike can have a few critical trees topped without...

Which 7777 do you have, the old one with separate inputs for VHF and UHF, or the new 7777 with one antenna input?
Are you talking about signal strength or SNR on the TiVo? Often signal quality as...

I have a VHF-Hi channel that is marginal. I can receive it sometimes when the SNR is 15-16 dB. When the...
