Whats up with the TV Signal Analysis?
Something happen to the data base?
Notice the lack of the channels to the north east @ 60 - 63 degrees. And the difference in channels at 255 - 263 degrees. This is my original chart from over a year ago. http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t...psutby1dco.png This is one form tonight. http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t...pshnfg4zap.png |
It would be nice if one of the site admins would chime in with an explanation.
I cant be the only individual getting flaky data. Also the View Map function on the Callsign Lookup, View Map function appears to not be working. I tried several browser and shut off all the security addons with no effect. I went to Find TV signals. Interestingly is showed the WKPT transmitter. Even though it is not on my TV Signal Analysis Results The Transmitter Profile appears to work. |

Hello, Sev
I'm OK for an old man of 85. I still love to make antenna measurements. Here is a report for your location from rabbitears.info: http://forum.tvfool.com/attachment.p...2&d=1515774565 and this one is from the FCC DTV maps site. I added the dBm values: http://forum.tvfool.com/attachment.p...4&d=1515775003 |

It keeps you young. Thanks for the reports. I generally get better reception than is reported. I just happen to be located in the right spot. I am still playing around with antenna setups. The other day I received a HD8200U by accident. Really wanted the HD7698P to stack with the my Archer VHF antenna. But hey. For 60.00 bucks it was a good deal. Not quiet sure yet if it has been an improvement over my radioshack VU-190xr I really need to get a shop set up so I can build my own. |

I believe everything came in stronger according to its meter. Except for Channel 68.1 Not an important channel in any case. I also recently bought a Silicondust unit. One of the most recent models. HDHR5. So far it has proven itself not to have a tuner the equal of my avermedia stick or the one in the TV. A bit disappointing. I am wondering though if it could be a faulty unit. |

The original HDHR with two tuners had a separate antenna input for each tuner: http://forum.tvfool.com/attachment.p...7&d=1515793348 That was the best way to design a dual tuner HDHR; it is still needed now with multiple antenna systems: https://www.highdefforum.com/local-h...-rf-input.html The present dual and quad tuners use an internal 2-way or 4-way splitter. There is an internal amp to make up for the signal loss in splitting, but the damage to the System Noise Figure still exists and can not be undone. Some users have more than one HDHR connected to a network for a multiple antenna system to avoid the internal splitting. |

Missed a few good deals on those in the past. Luckily I got this unit on Cyber Monday. Looks like a couple later models have 2 tuners and 2 inputs as well. Back to ebay to do a comparison with. |

Might have to pick one up for testing purposes. I recall reading somewhere a while back that there were still updates from silicondust for it. |
