38 off the air?
I was watching 38.4 and lost the signal about 10 minutes ago. Tried another tv on a different antenna... same thing.

I checked all their channels at 4PM, 12-19-2019 and they're all crystal clear for me in Commerce Township.static1701 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 19, 2019 10:48 am I was watching 38.4 and lost the signal about 10 minutes ago.

Playing with a TV around 3:30 yesterday at the Salvation Army in Southfield (Greenfield/Lincoln), using a twistee for an antenna, I did scan and 38 came in.

Re: 38 off the air?
Hmmm... I was scanning some TVs for some relatives at a time in between the first and second post in an area where 38 is almost LOS and usually pretty clear and it did not scan in.
I wonder if it was off the air for a bit?

Could have been, they could be prepping for switching 39 to 27 in the next RePack phase. CW 50 did a few blackouts during the week day afternoons before they did their frequency change.

Re: 38 off the air?
Is the tower still in Clinton Twp? I never get them or channel 2 in Brighton.

Re: 38 off the air?
Thanks. All I have is an indoor "bowtie" type antenna. We put it on the TV on the second floor, and while I'm surprised at what I DO get, I'm disappointed in what I don't. 38 isn't a surprise now, but 2? Never scans in. I was kind of hoping to get some kind of Lansing or Flint stations, too. I get many of their radio signals like locals and was hoping for the same with TV. I don't really understand digital TV broadcasting, though.

Re: 38 off the air?
Your antenna might not have any VHF elements to it. Fox 2 is broadcasting on 7 which is still in the VHF range not UHF.

Re: 38 off the air?
I believe the tower is at the studios on 9 mile in Southfield, so no, I would still have a hard time getting it. I'll note that I didn't purchase this; it was given to me a couple of years ago and I just now hooked it up. No major loss; we still get the other major Detroit channels, and still have our streaming services. It's more of a curiosity to use it.

Re: 38 off the air?
Thanks for the tips. It does make me wish for the days of analog; MAYBE I'd have a better chance. We still have our boxes from AT&T, so we get 2 that way (just for the local channels. Plus we get a few home shopping channels. Wooooo). This is just for use on the upstairs TV. AT&T didn't carry the .x channels so I get them this way.
