Hi Folks...
Using the auto search for digital channels on my STB (Sony SAT HD100) I come up with these...3.1, 7.1, 11.1, 11.2, 32.1, 38.1, 38.2, 38.4, 38.5, 38.6, 44.1, 98.--.........
This was the first time I've gotten 3.1, however, when I tune to that channel I get no picture...it says 'searching for digital signal' with a black screen.
I was hoping to find these channels, 3, 19, 29, 31, 47, 52...
Last night I got these channels with these signals...
3 (CBS) - 50's no lock or picture
29 (NBC) - 0 no lock or picture
52 (WLS) - 80's lock and good picture
19 (WGN) - 70's lock and good picture
47 (WTTW) - 80's lock and good picture
31 (WFLD) - 15's thru 30's no lock no picture
45 (WSNS) - 80's lock and good picture
I got several other channels, but this is a pretty good picture of what I was able to receive.
I'm running 60 or 70 feet of quad shielded RG6 from my rooftop antenna (Winegard - old and showing signs of age..rust on some screws, etc.) down to my STB, no splices along the way. Straight out of my STB into my TV (Toshiba 57HX81).
As far as I can tell (short of using a compass), my antenna is pointed in the correct direction (according to antennaweb).
I'm considering using a new Radio Shack VU-90XR antenna I bought last week before I decided to give the old Winegard on my roof a fair shot. Maybe I'll see what the newer antenna can do.
Any tips or suggestions would be welcomed.
Thanks in advance...Tom
