Right, I have
HAD no use
of OTA signals...... For one reason or another for at least 15 years I've only had cable or Sat and never considered reigning in the free TV waves floating around. A 2 year old and our lovely economy has one searching for ways to trim a few pennies wherever possible
So I've jumped in here for the first time getting TV OTA and amazed what I came up with. My only experience was as a child watching fuzzy snowy pictures trying to adjust rabbit ears.
....I purchased an antenna from ebay, it's a LAVA HD-2805, has a small gain amp in-line w/ a rotator head, is about the size of my Sat. dish. I'm truly amazed at what it
DID bring in and if not for this one missing station I'd not be posting here looking for help. So far every other station tuned in is crystal clear, and I do get (2) stations below the channel 9 freq. that I'm looking for (3.1, 3.2, 3.x, 4.x).
Now just for information at this moment I have this antenna on a stand I hobbled together (temporarily) sitting in the 2nd story closet where all my network wiring comes in. It is pointed out a little window in the direction of the stations on the graph. I have it wired to the little amp and then into the port that goes directly to my LR TV. All cabling is RG6 (I built my house 2 years ago, I put it there so I'm certain
)
My next step (pending suggestions here) is to go outside and mount this antenna in place of my Direct dish. Could 1 single exterior wall (sticks and stone) block signals?
Thank you so much for the advice, Travis
