[QUOTE=&quot;Rickideemus, post: 126797, member: 12677&quot;]Let's get clear on the difference between stations and channels. Each separate pre-dot number on your TV represents (almost always) a different station, associated with one transmitter. The after-dot numbers represent subchannels. Take an example: Let's say you get WPPX Ion on 61.1 . That means you should also be getting 61.2, 61.3, 61.4, 61.5 and 61.6 -- a kid's channel and a bunch of shopping channels. These all come in on the same signal sent by the transmitter owned by WPPX. Please count this as one station.Forget channels. If you could just tell us how many stations you receive, we'd know much, much more about your situation. It would be even more helpful if you could list all the stations you get, either by their call letters, or by the &quot;Real&quot; channel numbers (the ones with no dots in the TV Fool Report.) We really need that level of detail if we're going to recommend anything about an amplifier or substituting a modern antenna.If you really get 20+ stations, or even channels, not listed on the Fool report, that's really unusual! Could you please list them by their call letters, so we can look them up to see how far you are from the transmitters?? If you could also get their real channel numbers, that would also be helpful. Need input!! (Remember Number 5 in &quot;Short Circuit&quot;?) <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink&nbsp; &nbsp; ;)" />Will you be connecting to more than one TV? That's where most of the signal loss would come in.It certainly looks that way from the spec sheet, but you have the real goods!
