OTA PBS channels - macuu222 - 07-05-2016

Is anyone else having a problem receiving OTA channels 10-1,10-2 and 10-3? I've been receiving it fine here in lower HPP and then it just stopped no matter where I move the antenna. I receive all the other channels just fine.

and then it just stopped

Have you tried ... moving to Hilo?

I'm getting all three channels at 9:35 AM, lower HPP.

Ok.... Then I must have some line of sight blockage that might take a major antenna move to fix. At least I know now the station is broadcasting!

ETA: Don't forget you need to rescan on your TV every time you move the antenna.


RE: OTA PBS channels - macuu222 - 07-06-2016

Thanks terracore. I forgot to rescan. Once I did that...all the pbs channels came in perfect.


RE: OTA PBS channels - 2liveque - 07-07-2016

Can anyone receive 13-1 NBC? I have a great antenna. I get all other stations crystal clear. Just can't seem to get NBC.


RE: OTA PBS channels - terracore - 07-07-2016

I get all the channels on the above list including 13.1.

I've never had a problem getting 13.1 but if it helps, my antenna is aimed a bit west of Hilo.

This is the antenna I have: https://www.amazon.com/ClearStream-Indoor-Outdoor-Antenna-Mount/dp/B007RH5GZI

ETA: Forgot to add, I had problems getting some channels until I realized it was the cheap coax cable I had bought locally (don't remember where exactly, Walmart probably). This is the cable I have now: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004I3YF42/ <-- not an endorsement, just that it worked for me
