Hey Joe! I hope all is well with you.

More problems, surprise surprise. Channel 8 (CBS) has been out for a couple of days now. I was on the roof a couple of hours ago (no wind, but I took cordless phone with me anyway, lol) and no matter where I turned the antenna I could not get anything at all from 8. (What I do is open my 8 foot glass door and crank the volume up on the TV before I climb he ladder. It is tuned to the channel I'm trying to tweak in. When the audio comes in, I can hear it from the roof.)

Channel 8 was always one of my weakest channels, but I never really had trouble getting it, so this was curious indeed especially considering the weather: clear and cool.

So I started this post, and after the first couple sentences I decided to see if 8 was having transmission problems -- as 21 was a while back, that YOU alerted me to. Thanks for that.

So here it is, right from their website.

"A specialist coming in Friday will examine and hopefully be able to solve the issue."

Well it's Friday night and it isn't fixed yet. But at least I know what the problem is, and that it is out of my control.

EDIT @ 8:54 PM: So a half-hour after making this post I turn the TV on, and there is channel 8! All is well in the world again -- I can watch That 70s Show, and Heidi on Home Improvement.
