Ottawa Valley OTA reception
Hi to all... I have tried to get my parents TV up and running on the new digital signals near Perth Ontario (50 mi SW of Ottawa). I changed their antenna from the old style UHF/VHF to a new Antenna Craft HDMS9100. The TV is an LG 16:9 style LCD but without the built in digital HD tuner (an optional set up through the Centronics ZAT502 HD box) will provide some very good quality picture for one or two stations. During my setup some stations came in very well but once the antenna was pointed in a different direction and returned to the earlier setting 'No Signal' would be on the screen. Presently the only channels viewable are CKWS and Global and without the ZAT502 in the loop they are co-axial cable quality, not as good as through the HDMI... Are these signals for the area not yet reliable? or is the digital signal so critical that you must have the antenna within 1-2 degrees of setting?
