Wow, been a long time since I've posted anything on here.

I think I want to try tilting my antenna. But, how much? Nearly everyone of my channels glitch. Should I tilt at a 45º, 60º, or maybe 75º? I have my antenna on a 2 1/2" OD x 10' or so pipe. Could the pipe be running any sort of interference? I have a home base CB antenna about 20' long or so, but it's behind the tv antenna by several feet. Could that have any sort of effect? It hasn't been connected to my CB for several months thanks to one of my dogs chewing my coax in two. Oh well, should have put the coax in a better spot.

I have the antenna connected to two TVs as previously mentioned. My bedroom TV, with a DigitalStream converter box, does a lot better job of pulling in channels than the living room TV, which is a DTV. Do the converter boxes have better tuners in them? I tried an amp on the living room TV and no difference. I have one on the bedroom TV and have no problems at all, but if I unplug the amp, all channels are gone. I tried it one night just to see. With the converter box, I can get KEMV pretty stable, but can't get it on the DTV, not that I want to watch PBS or anything. Just thought it was cool to receive a channel from that far away.

I know that because of mountains, people in some parts of north AR can't receive Little Rock. If the transmitters were in the mountains of north AR instead of being in Little Rock, could I receive the channels in Little Rock? Would they be strong? Just curious.

Thanks a lot!
