Hey, Tyler, I bought a CS 4 Max antenna. I am able to get all of the necessary channels, except 1: from one antenna position that I've tried(mounted on a 25 ft deer stand like pole outside), the 2 stations that I get will stay on through a torrential downpour for several hours. I get PBS, NBC, and ABC via these 2 stations. The WCBI CBS station that I haven't been able to get consistently is the most important, because it is the channel I grew up with and OTA channel used most in the past. I have gotten all 3 stations perfectly in one spot in average temperatures(including the missing WCBI CBS channel). But, a strange thing happened, I had to run go get extra cable before dark and, when I came back, the antenna had slumped over out of position(but it didn't fall and still works). Every since then, I haven't been able to get all 3 stations to work together anymore. Would the Televes pre-amp $69.99-$79.99 that you reviewed help me? EXTRA INFO ABOUT MY ANTENNA SETUP: 1 station goes completely out without my Onn pre-amp. The other station does not work as well without the Onn Pre-amp. I am using 100 ft RG-59 cable that is Quad shielded. I live within 55 miles of towers and I live in a wood infested rural area. I often use another much smaller TV than the family TV outdoors and adjust the antenna as I watch to test whether the antenna positioning will work.

My problem is NOT getting lots of channels...my problem is getting somebody to install, point, and properly test the signal for optimum strength (i.e they know what to do besides climbing onto the roof). I'm not talking about some guy getting up on a ladder and putting the antenna on a pole (I can find a handy man to do that). I'm between Buffalo and Rochester NY. I'm 71 and my climbing on ladders days are over.
@miketech79 Жыл бұрын
I used to live between Rochester and Buffalo. Your main problem is that the signals also come from many different directions. It is even possible to pick up Canada ones depending on your location, so this becomes a problem to do without a rotator and a directional antenna. You may have better luck going that route than trying to get someone to point the antenna.
@musicom67 Жыл бұрын
Your problem was solved decades ago with a Channel Master Antenna Rotator. Like this channel praises, get a high quality antenna, do it once and done. Did that when I got a new roof. Let 'em put it up high and straight, you do the assembly on the ground (with the rotator and short post) and have 'em haul the whole contraption up, strap to the chimney or whatever, and all you get is the coax and a remote control wire on the ground and have fun rotating.

One challenge is areas like NYC where there are many areas that are near deadzones for antennas, especially when the direction of the transmitter has a large apartment building complex between you and the transmitter. Most developments to not take into considering RF propagation, thus over time, you end up in a situation where even though the transmitters are 10-12 miles away, many channels have a very weak signal even with an amplified antenna.

When I first started using an antenna, I was able to get a good signal for all the Boston stations except for WFXT (FOX). That one is tricky. Last summer, i was watching the MLB All-Star Game and when nit got too pixelated to watch, i remembered Tyler's older video about Puffer, and gave that a try., I guess there were less than 500 people who were trying to watch this game, because i had no problem accessing it. And since it was a live nationally televised game, the fact that I'm on the east coast didn't matter. I've since been working on trying to get that FOX channel on an antenna, and I think I finally have it working. But Puffer is still a good backup just in case. Beats the hell out of paying for KZbin TV or something like that.

I used to live in Boston, never had a problem with getting Fox. I looked at the FCC data on the channels. The Fox transmitter antenna is a bit lower in height than some of the other stations. But I think the main issue is that they have a funky directional signal pattern with their transmitter antenna that might lower the signal depending on the direction from the tower. Their power output seems fine and is higher than most of the stations.

I bought an antenna. I got rid of cable and had Internet/wifi installed and had Roku put on my TV. But I can't get the antenna to work....help!!!

You need to use the internal tuner built into your TV for an antenna, not the Roku. You must switch from HDMI to TV on the TV's remote and run a channel scan. For additional assistance, sign up for my consultation service below: www.antennamanpa.com/antenna-recommendations.html

My local stations are 55 miles away and I have trees all around me! KZbin has plenty of content!

I would be scared to watch anything from California, much less San Francisco..... I might get some communicable disease and would need a butt protector to be safe.

Do you have to pay for them with your service provider because ABC app is showing data rates may apply?

You technically need an internet connection to use Puffer so you would have to pay for that but not the live stream that carries ABC, NBC, CBS, and Fox.

I wish I knew about this a few weeks ago, I would have been able to live stream the Indy 500. It's always on tape delay in central Indiana..... 😩😩

Great video,as usual.However.isn,t Puffer part of a research program?What if they decide to stop it?Anyhow,most networks have their own free aps,anyhow.

At some point the research project will end but for now Puffer is available to use for anyone

The apps for the networks are free to download. But in order to watch the live programming, you need login credentials from a cable service.

I think free streaming services like pluto tv will offer local news
