Hi,
Here is the link to the signal analysis report.
http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...d2439614432755
The antenna is CM4228HD on a 10 ft mast attached to the chimney. Antenna height is roughly 30ft.
The Antenna points to 240 relative to magnetic north. I have a rotator so this is easily adjustable.
The Antenna is connected to a CM7777 (high gain) amplifier.
The output of the amplifier goes to a distribution amplifier (the one Comcast installed in my house prior to moving to OTA).
The TV is Samsung LN46C650.
The TV reports a singal level (SNR) on its self diagnosis menu of ~16db for the stations transmitting from where the antenna is pointing too. I get mostly one bar sometimes two. I do get interruptions from time to time.
For the channels that interest me:
I get KIRO-TV on channel 51 very strong (25db, 7 bars) even though the antenna is not pointing at it.
I get channels 39, 38, 31 at ~16db - 1 bar
I don't get 50.
I don't get channel 48 at all.
I get channel 13 and 22 with 1-2 bars.
Questions:
Is this the best reception I can hope for or does it indicate something is wrong or can be improved with my setup?
Does this level of reception basically mean I should give up on OTA at this location because it is not stable enough (i.e. don't go and buy a OTA DVR...switch back to cable).
Thanks,
Ronen
