Pulling in Chicago OTA from Milwaukee

There are several posts on this, but unfortunately nobody follows up to indicate whether they were successful. I'm a transplanted Chicagoan, desperate for Bears football. Only WFLD and WBBM are needed. Any other channels I pick up along the way are great, but not required.

My Signal Analysis Results are here

Thanks in advance for your help!

Your chances of receiving any Chicago area stations from your present location are extremely poor. First, the distance makes the available signal level extremely weak... double digit negative noise margins are not impossible to overcome if that's the only issue, BUT... The strong local signals are directly in line with your aim toward Chicago. This is like trying to do deep space astronomy in the daytime... looking for a faint star a few degrees off line from the sun.


Consider using a remote tuner and a SlingBox...

Reliable reception with a Tv antenna will not happen.

The signals are to weak and to far away and to much interference from other stronger Tv stations and etc. .

This service might be able to provide the Networks.

----------------------------

You can connect a , www.slingbox.com . To a tuner that is at a location that can receive the channels , like at a relitives place or friends place and 'stream' the channels to your Internet connection.

------------------

You can call the Tv stations and ask if the Tv station is streaming on the Internet.
Some Tv stations are.

You connect with the Tv stations web site and receive via the Internet.
