Hello, rocco:

I see you are back again starting a new thread. Your previous thread is here:
Antenna
http://forum.tvfool.com/showthread.p...2031#post52031

and gives this tvfool report:

Is that report still good, or do you have a more accurate one? Zip code 24084 is pretty big going from US77 to Parrott.

It would be easier for us to help you if you kept all your questions on the same thread.

Some TV tuners are better than the TiVo tuner.

Tell us a little more about your setup; there might be another problem. Maybe we can help, or maybe there is nothing that can be done, but we can try.

Which direction is your antenna aimed?

How long is the coax line from the antenna to the TV?

Are you using a preamp?

Where is the antenna mounted and how high is it?

What stations do you get, by callsign, with the TiVo?

What stations do you get with the TV?

Tivo splits the signal across four tuners. You probably need to amp at the antenna or wherever you distribute to the house -- or both.

I've tried several DVR's for OTA and quite honestly they all were poor at it.

I made my own with a Windows PC and a add in tuner card from Hauppauge. Their card is as good, (maybe slightly better), than the tuner in my TV. But then it was made specifically for OTA reception, TiVo and others are made for cable and dish.

Thanks for the comments....I hope to figure something out..maybe just a plane recorder or something,,,was hoping just to record some shows...
