I went out and took the picture of my existing antenna.
It does have a balun on top and antenna itself looks quite decent. Looks like the problem is downstream. I am going to buy some cable and connectors to reach the tv in clean fashion and report back.
My new tv (samsung 550) arrives monday or tuesday and should have the latest tuner. That might change the results too  |
Bro That antenna seems very good for you area,go to Radio Shack and get a new balloon there is a golden plated one that costs more but it´s worth it and connectors,also god RG6 cable, i bought a new antenna and the balloon went bad in 3 moths
it gave me a head ache cause i never thought that the balloon that was new just got rotten inside,a mater of fact check my antenna link bellow that is very similar to yours after i remodeled it i live around Boston area a little farther north at Fall River and get most of the Chan from Boston,
i have also a indoor amp 24db and it has a turn switch that has - and + for more or less amplification, i have it closer to the receiver than the antenna and have to switch to minimun otherwise it cuts signal on some chan.
