Getting very jumpy reception, if any at all. Stays at Zero for minutes at a time, then jumps to 50% or 75% for a half a second, then gone again.


Anyone one else?


Guess I'll have to check the weather for tonights big X-Files Finale.

No problems for me in Stockton.

Watching the 10 o'clock news on KTXL, no problem signal is usually between 82-85 depending on conditions.

Very strange. Must have been weather related. The signal did slowly come back, and by 8p it was at normal levels with only an occasional drop out.

I know the weather is awful tonight, but ZERO signal on all 4 channels? I usually get 100 signal strength from Granite Bay. I'm concerned that something else is wrong... maybe water on the coax or something? My analog reception is also very snowy - barely a picture on 31, 40, or 58.


Thanks,

Well, one problem solved - I had a loose coax connector going from my pre-amp power supply to my tuner.


But, still no digital reception on 3 of the 4 Sacramento stations. My current signal strengths from my DST-3000 at 12 midnight on Monday (still raining, but it's let up quite a bit):


13-1 (dig. 25): 100

3-1 (dig 35): 15-18

40-1 (dig 55): 0-6

10-1 (dig 61): 0-6


Any ideas? I just moved to the area and this is the first storm I've had since I moved. If this is weather related, I'm very bummed. Funny thing is, I moved from Pleasanton and, although my reception was much weaker overall I didn't seem to notice much weather interference.


By the way, my reception in general has been excellent. 100 signal strength almost all the time on all 4 stations. On some evenings, I even get SF stations, and I'm probably 100 miles away!


My antenna set-up is CM 4228 (8way bowtie) with a CM 7775 pre-amp connected to a DST-3000.


Thanks!

At the position I used to recieve KXTL-10, I now get two Channel KOVR-13's. This has been going on for a week or so.

 

[bigsmoniz]

Let's try this again. In the space I used to recieve KXTV-10, I now get a duplecate of Channel KOVR-13. This is coming off the Dish system with the 6000 and the over the air modual. As I said, this has been going on for a little over a week.

Anyone else having this problem? Is there a way to reset the 6000?

SteveD,

Try without the preamp -- I get 90-100% with the same antenna in Folsom.
