It seems you are correct. That location also seems to have a couple other channels. WNJU and WXTV even though they say they are from NJ.

Never thought of that. Cute. LOL

Piggie, I've got some math homework I need help with, do you tutor? Actually I've only got one more math class to go!

Piggie

I used to tutor college physics for years. It was good money. Probably still could if they let me put up signs at colleges.

Guess I could do math as long as it's not passed advanced differential equations.

Free 1+1=4.... Saw that on Married with Children....

Yeah so if 4 times the square of 2.5 is 25, then that channel might get a free 10db gain? Or am I going to far into alien cat reception at this point? Don't answer either............

I'm happy to have a place to ask questions. I have basic rabit ears on one television, and a UHF/VHF antenna on the other. I live in Manhattan so the buildings may be causing a prob..but I don't know

Piggie

Go to TVFool TV Fool
put in your address and how high your antenna is off the ground.

Then post the bold link they give you here.

Moved to: Some antenna advice please for Queens, NY

Yes616

I grew up in New York City. I never lived in Manhattan but I went from Queens to Brooklyn to Da Bronx.

Everywhere I was there was muli-path galore without using a roof-top antenna. Anything else just did not work. UHF was the worst. I could always get 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11 and 13 somehow with rabbit ears. UHF was just snow but in those days (1962-1974), nobody really watched UHF in NYC. Nobody I knew anyway.

Stop Me! I take that back a little. The spanish channels, 41 and 47 did seem to work OK. But alas, yo no hablo espanol.

Do most buildings in the city still have antenna systems or have they all switched to cable? Or maybe some combination of the 2? The way I figure it, the landlord will come up with something that works real good for OTA for everyone. Too bad the rents will go up for his or her efforts.
