July 21, 2009

Exact Location: Hecshire State Park
Terrain: Flat/Trees
Antenna Model: old 30 year yagi
Ant. Location: Rooftop
Ant. Information: Home Depot Unit
Tuner: 
Installation: Self Installed
Comments: To receive signals reliable in the areas that were previously served by analog the broadcasted need to increase their signal strength. Short of this the OTA Digital Reception will not be dependable for Long Island viewers. The FCC did viewers in the suburbs a disservice. The sold Digital transmission as an improvement for some but it is turning out to be a lost of signal for many OTA viewers

April 20, 2009

Exact Location: Adjacent to Todd Middle School
Terrain: Rt. 9 to West, Dutchess Golf Course to North, Spackenkill Rd (NY 113) to South
Antenna Model: Channel Master Crossfire (VHF), Archer/Radio Shack U100 (UHF)
Ant. Location: Roof (stacked UHF and VHF antennas on same mast with rotor for UHF)
Ant. Information: Channel Master Spartan 264 preamp
Tuner: 
Installation: Self install 25-30 years ago, new RG6 cable added
Comments: Digital TV Reception is pathetic from New York City. I receive more analog channels (2,4,5,7,9,11,13,25,31) than digital (5-1, 5-2). My antennas may be old but I would expect same coverage for digital TV. My location is 62 miles north of Empire State Building, but still in NYC market. I have better luck aiming UHF antenna North toward Albany where I am 67 miles away South of Helderberg antenna farm. My antennas may be old, but there were good enough for analog. It's too much trouble to tear down and replace, and antenna installers are hard to find.

City: Poughkeepsie

March 04, 2009

Exact Location: Rt-9 and Beechwood Ave
Terrain: Trees, relatively flat
Antenna Model: Antennas Direct C4 (UHV), Unknown (VHF)
Ant. Location: Attic (~25 feet above ground)
Ant. Information: Channel Master CM7777 pre-amp with inline FM Trap enabled
Tuner: 
Installation: Venturer/Winguard DTV tuner,
Comments: Note that the High-band VHF channels (WNYT-12/13 and WXXA-7/23) are very unreliable. Some days they come in very well, but most days they don't come in at all. Usually, they show a reasonably strong signal, but it fluctuates wildly (between 0 and 85%) several times per minute. I suspect this may be an interference issue. I'm concerned that WRGB may be the same after they switch to ch6.

This may change when NYC stations change to VHF as I currently receive 7 NYC VHF analog stations (2,4,5,7,9,11,13), but only 2 NYC UHF analog stations (25 & 31). By rotating the antenna, I can also receive a few Hartford analog stations (8,10), but no digital stations.

Tuner: 
Installation: Tivas $47 tuner work great
Comments: Had a sharp DTV with an ASTC turner. It didn't pull in well from NYC. Spent $50 on a Tivax Stb T9 analog to digital and have had great result. There is a great improvement in the receiver (Digial to analog) receiver that are up now. My Two year old 27 inch Sharp tv's receiver was crap from the second I bought it. The manufactures are taking advantage of the OTA customer. The older (2yr) Tv receivers are as able to capture the signal like the newer $40 rebate coupon units. Get an amplifier for your antenna and buy a $40 coupon receiver and on Long Island your reception will be good with the exception of NBC Channel 4. Good Luck

Comments: Antenna is on top of second story roof (25 feet roof line)on top of tripod 20 feet above roof...Needs to be highto clear tree line and also gradual hills in line of sight down range (Phili)Using RG-6 quadshield for downdrop from antenna into house and them RG-6 inside house (total run 100 feet to Samsung HLR-5067w HDTV)
Good tuner inside Samsung tv.Better,more sensative than stand alone Motorola HDTV box.
I was supprized how much better the tuner is inside the tv itself.
I am 45 mile from NY city and also 45 miles from Phili...this medium range works well..Get many HDTV channels rom NYC and Phil. About 20 HDTV channels total.Standard anolog works well to...TV has "tunning" feature biult into tunner wich allows you to fine tune the analog signal...pretty cool....I recomend this tv.A tv with a good tunner is a must as is a directional antenna..only draw back to using a directional antenna is since the antenna receives more of a beam you get less coveragerage over a wide area...so a rotor is used to turn antenna to pin point the signal..Also ues a preamp to push the signal down transmission line to tv or tunner.Also get compresssion type fittings on coax and weather proof EVERYTHING...(you are now your own cable company !!!!)

Comments: I have an 8-year-old Mitsubishi rear projection TV that is not HD. I’ve connected my HD cable box and OTA HD tuner to the component connection and both are set at 480i. The HD channels are sharp and vivid with excellent color saturation. I have had many comments from friends and relatives with actual HD TV’s stating my picture was equal to or better. Is it possible that although they are set at 480i the output is much higher and the outstanding de-interlacing of the Mitsubishi TV is yielding pseudo HD? Your thoughts on this are greatly appreciated.

Don't waste your money on the Terk TV-55. I am able to get away with an 80" antenna because I have a 10th Floor apartment that's on a hill overlooking White Plains. If you have a ground level house in my area, you will have to go to the next size up. Also, my landlord wanted me to take down the antenna... I used this page and sent them a copy of the FCC regulations that permit me to have it on my balcony. My landlord quickly changed their tune and let me be. The biggest dissapointment, however, is WPIX. While NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX, UPN, and PBS come in fine with great signal stregnth, the WB is terrible. Although it shows a decent signal on my tuner, it goes in and out and frequently freezes and scrambles. Not that I really care about the regular programming on the WB, but in the summer they have alot of Mets games and the broadcasts are unwatchable. Supposedly they are going to fix this (I hear rumors only), but I have had HDTV for almost 12 months and the reception is still terrible. If you are looking into HDTV and live in the White Plains area, feel free to drop me an e-mail... I will be happy to share what I got wrong and what I got right. tmalin99@optonline.net

I am getting 85-88% signal strength with this set up. This seem to be the best I can hope for. As far as I know FOX out of the Albany is not going digital until 2005. How you are getting FOX out of NYC with the weak signal that they produce is beyond me. Please prove me wrong. e-mail me at unksilk@hotmail.com I would love to know what you are using

CBS 100% now and picked up two more stations from New Jersey after adding the preamp. The Hdtv looks
great on the Samsung hpl4663 and the digital

Comments: I have driven myself nuts with this for a few weeks now. I recently got a new Mitsubishi HDTV with built in tuner. Obviously I wanted to watch HD but was not forking over big bucks. Rather decided to go over the air. After many tries with various antennas, I have decided to stick with the Radio Shack Amplified antenna that looks like a flying saucer. I went out and bought the Amplified Straight Shooter for $150 and it's reception was horrible in comparison. Althought there are a few blips and beeps on some channels I still have to fine tune the antenna. But sticking with the cheap antenna and the reception of the channels most except Channel 4 and 11 is fine. I love HD!!!!!!

Which has 98% of the coverage that was available from atop the WTC. WPIX and WNBC should move there DT transmitters there too.

Comments: Even with an unobstructed view of the Empire State Building -- from which I understand most channels now broadcast -- digital reception in my north Brooklyn, 14th-floor co-op apartment is often weak. This surprises me, although I am hopeful the situation will improve once a new tower replaces the World Trade Center. ABC and Fox are the most reliable channels, with on-and-off reception from CBS and nothing at all from NBC. I get good PBS from New Jersey (WNJN-DT, 52.1-5), but with no signal from WNET-DT (13.1), I assume they have yet to resume over-the-air digital broadcasting after the loss of their equipment in the destruction of the WTC. I am considering adding a signal amplifier; perhaps the signal is losing potency in the long cable run from the shared rooftop antenna to my set -- an integrated Samsung widescreen HDTV with which I am mostly pleased.

Exact Location: Colts Pride, Freehold Township
Terrain: Houses Very Close Together

Installation: Self-Install (Echostar 811)
Comments: After trying to receive stations from both New York and Philadelphia, I found that I was able to receive many more stations from Philly, even though I'm more than 50 miles from the transmitters. Unfortunately, the NYC stations aren't yet fully up-to-speed with their digital broadcasts.

Even with an attic installation, I receive all of the major networks perfectly, with no dropouts.

The Channel Master 4228 is a great antenna, and it needs to be aimed precisely for best reception. A compass is required when installing, and it takes some time to fine-tune the position.

Overall, I'm pleasantly surprised (shocked, actually) with the strong signals I'm able to receive.

Ant. Information: Unsure
Tuner: 
Installation: Echostar 811 professional installation (DISH Netwo
Comments: The antenna was already up when I bought the house. It's an old one too; no coaxial connection. A little bit of splicing and one coax-connection later, antenna pulls in strong signals. Antenna cannot pick up WNBC at all; I never re-aligned the antenna when I bought the house, so maybe that might fix the problem, but seeing as how a lot of other people are having trouble with WNBC also, I doubt it. The CBS OTA signal is stronger and clearer than the DISH CBS-HD feed (9483); oddly enough, the WCBS OTA HD signal has different programming on occasion from the DISH feed. Last week I was watching the Yankee game on WCBS OTA HD, but Dish WCBS HD feed was showing soap operas (!). Since both are the NY O&O signal, I don't understand why one would be different from the other. The WABC signals are absolutely gorgeous (NBA finals looked UNBELIEVABLE; can't wait for MNF). Dish 811 receiver does excellent job locking onto the signals with minimal breakup.

Comments: There can be a few reasons that you are not getting NBC. First of which is I think they are still only broadcasting on partial power. Second, may be your antenna. At first I had the same problem using a simmilar antenna. As soon as I switched to a rooftop mounted Winegard HD9095P with a preamp, the problem went away. The only problem with that antenna is that it is VHF only, and unable to pick up Channels 11 and 13. Which are both broadcasting from VHF (since 9/11) If you need more help you can E-mail me at rockaway1836@yahoo.com

CBS looks the best at 1080i 16:9 at all times; they windowbox when the content is 4:3. ABC is 720p 16:9 on 7.1 and simulcasts 720p(?) 4:3 on 7.2. I have a rotor, but really only use it to fine tune now that almost everything I need comes off the ESB.

I gave a report a few months ago indicating all the problems I was having with reception. Channels were cutting in and out! I added the Radio Shack antenna amp to my antenna and everything is perfect! All NY main channels are on with no cutting out. This amp has 2 pieces, one that connects to your existing antenna and to your coax and the other connects to the other side of the coax (before it connects to your receiver!) This solved my problem! HDTV OTA is incredible!

Comments: First, I have the HD300, not the 200. The list to choose my reciever from doesn't have the hd300 on it.

It's a funny thing. I live 50 miles from Albany, yet 100 from the city and am in the DMA for the city.

The antenna that I have has CEA rating of green. I'm suprised with such a small antenna that I can even get a dtv signal at all. It's so weak that the HD300 gives up and doesn't even try to decode the signal.

Occasionally the signal strength will jump from really bad to the normal for a second or two and then goes away for a sec and then back to really bad. Maybe the chimney for the stove is in the way and preventing me from getting a usable signal, I never know.

I'm going to try a bigger antenna in the near future and see what happens.

Comments: I left a posting here today, but wanted to add the following...NBC was cutting out on me. I have the radioshack antenna on the roof, tonight I bought the VHF/UHF splitter. This will remove all VHF and FM signals.....WOW what a difference!! I now receive all channels without any cutouts/blackscreens. I have approx 120ft of double shielded RG6 (bought at homedepot) running from the antenna into the splitter then to the Panasonic receiver (and NO PREAMP)Works GREAT!!! I think the standard vhf/uhf antenna picks up Fm and vHF signals that can affect the receivers ability to lock on to UHF only! Just my opinion! I also bought a antenna preamp, which I haven't needed yet. Hope this info helps.

Comments: People at Circuit City said "Couldn't be done"! DON"T LISTEN TO THEM! I purchased an open box because the last guy could'nt install correctly..$100 off price..total for receiver is $209.00 !!Good deal.I would encourage the same route.Jackson is pretty far,but I did it.PLEASE e-mail me if anyone needs help or advise.!!.I love to help.I love receiving UHV/VHF with OTA antennas!
Bigger is better and a good quality antenna is the best way to go as a rotor does help in fine tuning on the ground.Also,good RG-6 coax is a must for little signal loss!!
