Hi - I recently acquired an
RCA ANT751R antenna and mounted it outside my apartment. I am in Santa Clara, CA.
TV fool report here.
With careful aiming - I can get most of what I want - the major networks. CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX, etc. But some of them - especially CBS and NBC - are pretty weak. Last night all were working just fine, now CBS and NBC are choppy. I am wondering if a different antenna would be the fix, or potentially an amplifier. Amazon has pretty positive reviews for the
RCA TVPRAMP1R. It's very inexpensive, too. Could that potentially help?
If it matters, I have about 15 feet of RG-6 between my TV and my antenna. I can't really reduce that, unfortunately.
Also, I do not know if these numbers will help - but right now, here are signal strengths, SNR, and AGC for a couple channels of interest.
CBS 5.1 72%, 17db, 110% (the 72% frequently jumps down to 22% though, this is choppy)
NBC 4.1 66%, 6-13db, 64-115% (very jumpy right now - station not coming in at all)
FOX 2.1 66-71%, 6-17db, 108% (signal strength occasionally drops to 22% - this is choppy)
ABC 7.1 75%, 20db, 101% (this channel looks great)
MeTV 20.2 82%, 26db, 100% (this channel looks great)
All of these were solid last night... So this is sad.
What do you all suggest?
Thanks!
