February 03, 2006

Exact Location: Stonewall DR
Terrain: 
Antenna Model: old
Ant. Location: VHF yagi outside, at 30 FT
Ant. Information: preamp
Tuner: Samsung SIRT150
Installation: self install
Comments: I recently installed a "set top box" for OTA broadcasts hoping to receive HDTV programs.(SamsungTS360)

The guide shows; 4-1 WCMHDT, 6-1 WSYXDT, and 10-1 WBNSDT

Only one of these can be viewed, that is 6-1 WSYXDT. (Signal strength = 50%- 70%)

The others display a "searching for signal" message, but never finds one. (signal strength = 0%)
Is there a reason for this performance?

I smell a rat, I see that 4-1 WCMHDT and 10-1 WBNSDT are viewed on the Newark local Adelphia cable, while 6-1 WSYXDT is not. Can it be that Adelphia is paying for exclusivity.

Any inside information on this ???

Ant. Location: inside, sitting on TV
Ant. Information: 
Tuner: Samsung SIRT160
Installation: self
Comments: Tried this liitle antenna inside the house to see
if it could pick up any HDTV signal. WBNS-DT and WCMH-DT come in very clearly. Worth the $25 for the effort (virtually none). No hint of WSYX-DT, but that isn't unexpected, from what I hear.
Tuner is the Samsung SIRT160.
