| Exact Location: | | Duluth, Georgia (20 miles NE of downtown Atlanta)
|
| Terrain: | | Hilly, tall trees surround the property
|
| Antenna Model: | | Old RCA "top of the line"
|
| Ant. Location: | | outdoor
|
| Ant. Information: | | VERY high gain VHF/FM/UHF (no preamp)
|
| Tuner: | | Samsung SIRT160
|
| Installation: | | self install
|
| Comments: | | Note: I am NOT using the Samsung I checked, but it was the closest model you listed to what I have (Samsung SIR-TS360. I bought it used on eBay 3 weeks ago, and it is a gem. It has inputs for cable AND satelite AND off the air signals. You can have All three working at the same time if you wish; or any combination of the three.
I get ALL greater Atlanta local DTV channels perfectly, IF the wind is calm*, with the exception of channel 63's 5 multicast stations. Most of the time I do not pull any of the 5 in.
I have many tall trees surrounding my house and even though my outdoor antenna is well above the second story, the trees cause intermittent loss of DTV signal, IF, the wind is blowing. If not, the receoption is perfect on ALL 22 DTV channels (except the 5 listed above).
Sadly, MOST of the time, NONE of the 22 are transmitting in HD. But I am sure this will improve drammatically as time goes by. I cannot say enough good things about the Samsung SIR-TS360 HDTV receiver. Sadly they do NOT make it any more. And NOTHING they (or any one else) has, is as good, in my opnion. I was lucky to find one in mint condition with all the accessories on eBay for less than half the original cost.
For some reason the "signal strength" feature may NOT be working correctly on the "off the air" channels. As it goes from 0% to 100% up and down constantly on EVERY channel whether the wind is blowing or not. Yet I ONLY have intermittent loss of signal IF the wind is blowing except on channel 63 (and all 5 of its channels rarely come in). I might improve this with a slight adjustment to my outdoor antenna. (NOTE: I do not at present have cable or satelite, so I can't test the signal strength meter built into the Receiver on these signals.)
I have a rotor but I have not tried to move it yet. I will do this shortly.
Over all, I could NOT be more pleased with "off the air" DTV, AND the seldom broadcast HD programs, which are incredibly beautiful, when they do broadcast HD on my Panasonic HDTV ready 36" TV I bought last year.
I do NOT want to go to either cable OR satelite, since there is NOTHING that I wish to see, (being a devout Christian), that I don't get on the 22 channels I get now, EXCEPT for the intermittent loss of signals when the wind is blowing on given channels.
I may be forced to go satelite (IF they can get a clear shot above the tree line) just to get consistent signals. I won't go cable even if it means I have to live with intermittent loss of signal when the wind blows.
I tried several "in line" signal amplifiers, but I saw NO improvment; and in the case of one of them (a 25DB gain RCA amplifier from Home Depot) it caused me to LOSE some of the channels I was receiving without amplification.
This may be due to input overload, causing serious cross modulation because of one or more strong signals. It did have a switchable FM trap for just this purpose but it had little affect on my problem. So it was not due to too strong an FM station. Must have been one or more of the low VHF channels (since they are usually the strongest).
The 10DB gain Wal mart amp worked quite well when I added two 4 way splitters fed by one 2 way splitter (which I am going to need) in its output. Since a 4 way has a 7DB loss and the 2 way (in series) has a 3.5DB loss, it ends up with a "unity" gain, which is fine. IE, amplifer (+10DB) plus 2 way (-3.5DB) plus 4 way (-7DB) equals -.5. Or "0" for all practical purposes.
So I am a very happy camper so far.

|
| Comments: | | This is an update of 2 earlier entries; I moved my antenna from my deck's arbor to the attic; I realized that moving your antenna to the attic (that is,getting it higher)does not necessarily mean that the reception will improve in all channels. Although the number of channels received increased, and some channels registered phenomenal signal strength, I also lost some channels. This prompted me to painstakingly find a spot in my attic that would pull in all my local channels with considerable signal strength. I settled for a spot that a gave me a signal of at least 75%,since 68% is the cut-off to have a good-enough (green) signal. My Direct Stream HD3150 HDTV tuner also gives a signal-to-noise ratio. I also would like to mention that my search for the right spot was affected by the presence of physical barriers in the attic like aluminum air ducts and wood frames. I initially planned to mount the antenna using the supplied metal tube and base. I found a good-enough spot where I cannot use the supplied base. I ended up placing the antenna on top of an old metal speaker stand and secured it with a rubber band. Since no one will be going up there to mess it up, I decided to leave it that way until I find a better way. But for now, I am just going to enjoy the glorious picture of my 65" HDTV for free!!!

| Comments: | | I pixelate badly when planes from Dobbins AFB are around. Sometimes lose signal in a heavy rain. I think some of the stations are still 'adjusting' their HD setups because they will be fine, then gone for a few hours/days, then be back.
My antenna is 15' from my media closet, then through a 1x8 passive splitter, then 45' to my HD TV. Analog TVs are shorter runs. My HDTV (Mit WS-48511) has a built in Digital and Analog tunner. I can get all the analog stations, but my analog TVs don't, and some stations are way off their assigned channels. (Yes, they are set for Antenna, not cable.)

Don't beleive antennaweb's site, a yellow zone antenna will give you nothing. Get a fringe/suburban area antenna. I don't yet use an amplifier.
|
| Tuner: | | Samsung SIRT151
|
| Installation: | | Self installed. Really scarry putting up that pole
|
| Comments: | | The samsung SIRT151 does a good job of locking in a weak signal once it catches it. Excellent Picture quality with my toshiba 42in HDTV. Don't be confused: just because you get a digital station in doesn't mean the show is in High Definition. Alot of the really good primetime shows ARE in High Def, but the news, commercials, and older shows are not. But still the picture looks MUCH better than Satellite (I had Dish), or Analog over the air reception. And the HDTV shows will blow you away when you see them. Trust me, you won't want to go back to booring Standard Def.

| Comments: | | My reception of the big four is great. I had the WB and UPN, but when I hid my coax runs in-wall I see the carrier, but the channels hardly ever come in unless its overcast. To maximize reception a separate preamp and antenna provide the best results. The channel master 7778 pre amp and the 3010 and 3014 antenna do an exellent job. I have this in addition to my TV 50 and often compare. For those having reception problems, this combination will invariably fix the problem!!

| Comments: | | The HDTV at start up auto-programs' itself to find all the channels it can. Sometimes it finds four or five DTV channels and sometimes it finds just one. How are you suppose to adjust the antenna for best reception? I had about the same success with the rabbit ears I bought from curcuit city but if the wife walked through the signal the picture would freeze. Now with the antenna in the attic I get a more stable picture but the signal didn't get any stronger. I added an amp (hardly changed things) but I think its the direction the antenna is pointed. Go with a rotor?

| Comments: | | Reception comments: Receiving all the Atlanta digital broadcasts with 50-75% signal strength. I've heard that it should be in the 80% range to get consistent reception without dropouts. So far, as long as I point the antenna at the broadcast tower we're getting a great view with little to no dropouts or pixelation. I've heard good things about the Samsung Tuner being one of the best for locking on and holding signals. That may be a big factor in the good results we're getting. It sure seems to run awfully hot though.

| Comments: | | every once in a while, esp. in storms, not able to get consistent reception for CBS (19), but overall the reception is very good. Have a 4 story house no I put the antenna in the attic rather than the roof, otherwise the signal would be even better. Signal strenght for CBS is consistently around 60-70, which provides very good reception and stability, all others are at 100%. The key is a good amplifier.
