If your setup menu doesn't allow you to ADD digital channels, you would need to do a complete scan, every time you move the antenna.

CM rotors operate on AC, as I believe all of the name brands do.
Output voltage should be noted, on the bottom.

AC is used, so the motors don't burn up, if the rotor seizes.

Yes, heating, cooling and probably other terrestrial interference that I can't name off the top of my head.

Thanks for the tip!
I snagged two of them today and will probably stop in a few other Rat Shacks on my rounds.

I agree.

The part I don't get, is why it is so susceptible to external interference.
I mean c'mon , it's digital.

Heck, Cat5 isn't even shielded and I don't think it ever causes problems.

If you hide your antenna so other people can't see it, then it's possible that OTA signals may not see it, either.
The 7698P is a beautiful antenna.

It's a badge. Wear it w/ pride.

If you can point out a window directly at the tower, I'd say yes.

Or, you could put a splitter right at the main TV, run cable to the other set and see if the signal degrades.

Those are flimsy garbage and the claims are ridiculous.

Post your TVFOOL report and somebody will be able to make a sensible recommendation.

I like the idea of the Wade Taco, but they are a bit pricey.
I have a 7 foot C/KU I have been working on, but set it aside, until I come across bracket material to mount to my tower.
