I could research this for 3 weeks and figure it out, but I’d rather ask you and have you tell me the answer in 10 minutes or less and owe you a bottle of your favorite PT Brew.
I (finally) hooked up my magic box tonight. (Have mercy on us grasshoppers. We have virtues that complement those of you ants.) Amazingly, it worked (sort of) on the first try. On its first scan it found one station, 12.1. On scans 2 and 3 it found two stations, 12.1 and 24.1, a shopping station. These are not my favorites. Actually, I never watch them. So I went outside and manually pivoted my 5-year-old antenna about 25º to 30º eastward. I rescanned and picked up 16 channels. Two of them had no signal. Three of them were rocky, breaking up. Four were in other languages including Chinese and Japanese, and one was the word of God delivered by a very confident guy . I have deep faith in God/Source but that entity doesn’t speak to me through a guy with big hair and false teeth.
I would like my reception to be more predictable and to be able to get Oprah, Jeopardy and all of the public TV options. This seems like an antenna issue to me. What’s your insight? My current antenna blows around in the wild winds of winter. I can always employ the “Sharpie Marker” technique to line up the pole with the bracket to get the most channels. That can be tedious, to find the exact orientation that will yield the most channels, but then I’m a knitter. We’re patient.
Thanking you profusely in advance of the looming date . . . ch
