Folks -- I need some advice.
I've spent three days on my roof risking injury trying to get a strong enough OTA signal. Though I get "blips", I can't lock anything in. I am using my Dish6000 receiver, and when I attempt to get my local CBS signal, I'll get constant flickering signals varying from 51 to 59 in strength which last for a brief moment before hitting back down to zero.
Others in my town receive the signal fine, but they have a much better line-of-site to the distant broadcast tower.
My best guess is that either:
a) I need a better antenna (I am currently using a Radio Shack UHV/VHF behemouth unit on a ten foot pole).
or
b) I need to move
I expect I am just out of luck...but if anyone has any advice, I'd love to hear it.
