Please read, Guidelines when asking for help. By following the instructions there, you'll be able to create a custom report for your location and share a link to the report. Because the Underwood area terrain is so hilly / mountainous, we need an accurate TV Fool report.

Do you know if you normally receive signals from Portland or from a translator on Underwood Mountain?

Was there thunderstorm activity about a week ago, when the signal failed? If so, was it close to you or to the west, near Underwood Mountain?

I live in Hood River and we are only getting 1 analog channel but can find nothing else on the web. Have you found anything out yet?

Searching your location from your zip code only shows reception from 78, 5, and 240 degrees mqagnetic. So you lost the connection from the antenna, or your set fliped its channel memory. Start by re-scaning your set. Be sure it is set for Air not cable reception. If you have another set with a digital (ATSC) tuner, try that one also. If that fails go to the antenna. Are you using an outdoor antenna? If so check every thing from the antenna connections to the TV. The balun transformer to the TV. If you are using an amplifier, be sure it is pluged in.
