Crosby, TX 77532. I'm using a new TIVO OTA and mini, with a 6 mo. old Vizio 50" LED and/or 5 -6 year old Panasonic plazma with the RCA Model #ANT3038XR.
I have minimized cable length, tried w/wo amp, tried going thru tivo/straight to tv, only one tv at a time, different tv's. Turned off LED and CFL lights. Watched for airplanes as picture goes to ****. What else can make an 85 drop to 25 strength. When I get time we're going to try raising the antenna as much as we can, aim it with the signal meter, and try any recommendations I get. I'm 40 miles from the station farm. The TVFool map says I should be able to get all desired channels with an INDOOR antenna. Maybe I have too big of an antenna?
We would be happy with just the "real" stations-2-11-13-26-39. What I've noticed is all 30 channels I get either come in great or drop out, mostly together. We are away from tall buildings, industry, just tall pine trees. Flat land. I looked for some of those little caps to terminate my unused splitter terminals, but they are hard to find. I'm going to raise the antenna a little more-it's now 4' above my one story roof ridge, and am going to try aiming it a little bit different. It's close to the 227 degrees recommended now. And I'm going to check connections, but to get an 85 strength on most stations now, I think maybe it's multipath. It does get worse at night.
