lost reception
First posting.
I recently dropped cable and switched to OTA tv reception.
Started with Zenith rabbit ears. Now have a RCA ANT 751R with a RCA TVPRAMP1R above the garage in the attic at ~15' evelation pointed 230 deg. about 100 feet cable total. Zip code is 48042.
I normally receive everything in green, yellow, and some pink zones that are canadian analog.
This morning before work I was flipping back and forth from the local news channels and noticed that I was now receiving a bunch of channels that I never got.
They were mostly Cleveland OH, one Toledo,OH and one Canton,OH.
WJW Fox 8 8-1 Cleveland
WKYC NBC 3-1 Cleveland
WEWS ABC 5-1 Cleveland
WQHS univision 61-1 Cleveland
WTOL CBS 11-1 Toledo
WLDI Canton 17-1
The Cleveland stations are > 100 miles away. The Toledo 70 miles, and the Canton 130 miles.
The anntenna is only supposed to be good for approx. 40 miles. As you might imagine I was thrilled to be receiving the additional stations.
Unfortunatley when I returned home from work today they all had vanished.
I was wondering what may of happened and what it might take to receive more channels than I currently have(now that I had more, I want more)
Is there better antenna for my location?
B.T.W. Have HOA rules. Would prefer inside/attic. NO TOWERS.
Thanks,
Joe
