Hi everyone!
I've been lurking here for a few weeks and have gotten a lot of helpful
information. I've tried being patient and waiting to see if signals improve, but it is getting frustrating.
I am trying to figure out what I must do to get a CBS
station here in south-central PA. It is the only network I can't get, and of course most shows I
watch are on CBS. If anyone has any input, I would greatly appreciate it. Admittedly, the technical jargon of coax and preamps, etc, intimidates me!
I have both a rooftop antenna (installed by previous owner) and a set of
rabbit ears. The latter picks up more stations and gets better quality
picture. I'm not sure which would be my best bet for getting CBS. I have
done many rescans, including clearing the memory and unplugging the
converter box for a time.
First, here is my TVFool info:
According to the
rooftop antenna height, and then
according to the rabbit ears.
Rabbitears.info:
RabbitEars.Info
So my two choices for CBS are 13.1 and 21.1. I am picking up quite a few
of the stations in the shaded pink area (even 60.1, 2.1, 25.1, etc), just
not the CBS ones. I don't know what my options are - calling someone out
to move around the roof antenna, or buying some type of indoor equipment?
Other information that may be helpful:
*When I put the tv on 13, the
signal strength "bounces" from the 20's and 30's up to the 90's very
quickly and back down. With 21.1 it just stays at 0.
*I live on a hill, no very tall trees around.
*13.1 worked beautifully before transition.
*I'm in an A-frame house, so the living room is all windows on one side. The rabbit ears are mounted up about ten feet
on a window (sounds odd but it works). I've tried moving them to many
different angle and locations with no luck.
If there is any more information I can provide, let me know. Thanks so
much for your time!
