| Comments: | | Thought my area was doomed until I finally read my converter box manual and programmed it properly. All channels that come in (even ones that are weak) are very clear. Most of the local channels are on the edge of good signal quality per the converter box, but they still come in nice. Next - outdoor antenna.

| Comments: | | I get all the Dallas/Ft Worth stations in good HD/SD with lots of the secondary stations (spanish/ion/qubo/ion life etc..) there are lots of HD and SD channels out there that you can
receive in Mabank, most of them good picture.
I have an old antenna with old cable wires and can still get good reception. I plan on a new antenna and new RG6 cable and connections, which should really improve both HD and SD picture quality.
So, anyone thinking about getting a new HD TV..
they are getting more and more affordable AND
you can get really good service without paying for cable or satellite. (although I do have Directv satellite service :)

| Comments: | | I get all the major networks in HD (when broadcasting in HD)which is all I care about. I've not always had good reception, it seems to vary a little bit with weather. Some times I've had problems with FOX on clear days. I also do not get good reception with out the supplied amp. I have the amp half way on my cable string where my coax comes into the house. A couple of things I have played with that have helped is one, actualy moving my coax around in the attic (seems to act as another antenna), The other thing I have done is play with the length of the copper cable that protrudes out the end of the coax cables on my conections, a little longer seems better. Those may not have nothing to do with anything technically but it seems to work. Good Luck

| Comments: | | HD reception signal strength, connectors and cables are extremely important. My analog antenna produces excellent analog signals on all previous and present non-HDTV's but it will not cut the mustard on my Mitsubishi Diamond 65711 on either tuner. Went to local channels on DirecTV to pick up regular over the air signals full screen, or with no no bars to burn in. Non-HD broadcast sat. pictures on most old movies has to be seen to be appreciated. Rose Parade on 32.01 (WB) today was magnificant over the air. I checked the parade out through all of the different receivers I have (5) and the HD picture is beyond awsome. Only reason to mess with the others is programing.

| Comments: | | I was recieving CBS on two channels. SO I rescanned and now I dont get CBS on channel 11.01 anymore. I only get it on 19.01. I have a Mitsubishi WS65613 that i am using for the OTA tuner. I did get it as the correct channel on Saturday but when I did the scan on Saturday I was getting WFAA and CBS on 8.01. I rescanned today ad this is what I get:
NO CBS 11.01 and CBS is now 19.01? Please help me and tell me why none of my numbers are the same as this site and antennaweb.org. Please email me at musrmgr@comcast.net
Before I got this TV i used the Hughes reciver for the OTA and DIrectTV signals. IT worked fine then. But now.....

| Comments: | | Diplexed off my Dishnetwork setup to the HDTV upstairs, installed antenna in attic seems to work well although Ive only got 5.1 on ABC the worst reception channel. I think Im having alignment issues cant get FOX at all, although I did at first. This was a cheap install 6000 from Dishnet for 199 and 100 in misc hardware. I dont think the VU75 is large enough but its non-returnable so Im going to tweek it a bit and see if I can get FOX to come in.

| Comments: | | I am having tough time with my Toshiba DST3000. It received only 1 ok channel and the rest either don't come in or come in with frequent pixelation. I got another RadioShack antenna, the biggest they have and that did not do any better. I even tried the Zenith Silver Sensor and that did not do any good. At this point, I am not sure that it is my receiver or the antenna. Any one has suggestions? I am thinking about sending back my receiver but I need to make sure that my antenna setup is ok.
Thanks alot,

| Comments: | | NBC is the only channel I can't get and it doesn't make sense. All the network towers are in the exact same location and I get the others 100%. I have read in here that other people in my area are having the opposite problem, NBC 100% but no CBS or ABC. Antennaweb.org says I only need a "yellow" antenna in my area and thats the cheapest type. I may pick up some kind of antenna at Best Buy to use instead of the apartment master, just to see what happens. If anyone has any ideas feel free to email me at ttugrad95@yahoo.com.

| Comments: | | I am unable to receive PBS or CBS - any advice? According to antennaweb.org my position requires a yellow coded antenna, however, I got one coded green, which is a bit stronger, from Radio Shack (model# 15-2152) thinking it would my reception considering my attic location. Any Suggestions? By the way, when I positioned/pointed it at 126 degrees, I simply used my best guesstimate - I don't own a compass.
