Yesterday I finally put up a RS VU-90XR antenna on my single story (chimney mount). I live in N. Olmsted.
I used to have a satellite dish but when I canceled it I just unplugged the cable from the dish & re-routed it to the VU-90XR.
I can now pick up 3, 5, 8, 19, & 43 - all of them comes in around 50% on my Samsung SIR-T150.
The 50% all around makes me wonder. I do have a tree in the direction of where the UV-90XR is pointing but I'm wondering if I should be getting better than 50% on some/all channels?
I live in Wellington, which is probably 30 miles southwest of North Olmsted. I had to go to an outdoor antennae to pick up CBS reliably, and finally be able to pull in NBC. I get anywhere from85%-95% on all stations now....
From North Olmsted point your antenna southeast past the airport to the Parma tv towers. That should give you 70 to 100% if your antenna is on the roof. Slightly less if antenna is in the attic. WEWS CH 5-1 seems to be doing some upgading lately. Their signal is on & off, up & down, all over the map. Hopefully they and CH 43-1 will have it all fixed by the time the new fall shows start.
I also forgot to add, that WKYC(NBC) sometimes has an occasional dropout. Are any of yoy having this problem? If so, we need to organize a group call in to have them fix this.
Channel 3 is usually so prone to dropouts for me that I don't ever watch it. Except for the radar channel lately. You know, with all the rain and all.
I'm in Medina, and signal strength is about 85%. I just chalk it up to the fact that it's a low VHF station, and there must be a lot of "interference" on the channel. But if it's something that they could fix on there end, I'd be all for it!
Just spoke with Mr. Baird in engineering. Digital is down and he was on the phone ordering parts. Also Ch 43 is on the air 12-12 daily. I receive CBS at 69 % in Bath. Many evenings signal does break up around 9
Since this thread keeps growing about all the crap we get from local dtv in cleveland, and since it has a decent thread title, how about we make this an unofficial official cleveland thread to post all the cleveland problems in?
Just a thought.
btw, WKYC is always 100% for me. I just chalk that up to being lucky. I lose the signal occasionaly though when my dad runs his paper shredder, or with the dish washer running. But thats just cuz those morons put it on channel 2 instead of going UHF.

Just spoke with engineering at Ch 5. Waiting on parts that were ordered. Earliest is Thursday could be as late as Mon. Hopes to have it fixed by Monday Night. He used the word HOPE. That is the latest and greatest from Cleve. Keep this forum going
Yeah, Football is the main concern, although its a good thing its not the Browns playing Monday Night. Can't wait til the uproar occurs when something goes wrong when the Browns are on MNF on that Sunday game against the 49ers on CBS.
