My advice is, only worry about feeding your main TV. No splitters. The LEAST loss from a splitter is 3.5 dB. Many splitters are even worse. Put up a second antenna a few wavelengths away for another TV. I used the splitter to simulate the future power decrease, so I could see if I'd be able to rece...

MW, 15 kW is too high for low VHF. At 6.5 kW 483 ft, WHNE is received in Capac, 37 miles away, near the very edge of the 35 dBu (the city grade strength level set by the FCC) contour. Indoor coverage here in Melvindale. This is what WHNE's pattern would be at 15 kW: https://www.rabbitears.info/patte...

Of course last fall Retro TV announced "Big Things on the Horizon" on https://www.myretrotv.com/ and we are still waiting to find out what those changes are. Is it more old Canadian shows? time will tell.

Old Canadian shows hopefully means Red Green! Even though it already airs on Heartland.

It wouldn't surprise me if this e-skip everyone worries about isn't a problem either. We'll see in the summer. But I think it's a dramatization. We're not yet into sporadic-e and tropo season, which can run into early summer. Whether it's a problem will depend on how many other Channel 3 signals th...

There is no CBC station in Sault Ste. Marie, I was thinking of CICI CTV Sudbury. Also, the microwave totally knocked out channel 3 this morning, otherwise it's perfect. So happy I have it! I've been spending almost 2 years waiting to see if I'd receive it, worrying that I'd lose it, partly caused by...

It took me a while to get them, but I can verify, they aren't April fooling. Coming in in Melvindale indoors at 47/100 Digital low VHF isn't that bad so far. Honestly, the electrical interference everyone was worried about is near nonexistent. Turning on the microwave hardly affected it. It only wen...

Thank goodness, I was worried about what would happen with WMYD's Antenna TV affiliation

WHNE's website says that FunRoads TV is coming to Elliott's old spot.

Anyone have any updates on WHNE? Their facebook page still has their posting from the 12th, anticipating they'd be back 'in a week or two', and it's been about two weeks. Are they making progress or have they been stunted by the Covid shutdowns or some other issue? On March 21, they said they'd be ...

Any song with cowbell

Because...


THE ONLY PRESCRIPTION
IS MORE COWBELL!

Either Piss Aaron (which Matt already mentioned) or You Left Me Sore (the latter is about V.D.) (both from Something, Anything?)

Anybody know if CFTV moved yet?

I started a phase 9 thread, since we have some phase 9 stations in the area, and because this thread is getting too long, in my opinion.

Although you said it's low priority, I'd like to ask if you're using a pre amp, what antenna you're using, and what kind of coax (RG6 or RG59) you're using. Make sure the preamp is getting power and that the antenna is aimed at the tri-point where Clinton Twp., St. Clair Shores, and Fraser meet. It...
