OK.
It's football season so I set up the OTA antenna which worked fine last year, but after trying everything for 2 or 3 days I'm still only getting 10's (PBS), 14 (Whatever), & 20's (CBS).
I believe those channels are all UHF, and the others are HI-V or high VHF. I read the UHF signal is easier to pick up.
I've tried:
Different locations on second floor
Outside on porch
The attic
Sanded off the rough spots antenna prongs and loops
Cleaned and oiled connections
I have two different antennas and both get the same channel selection so I think the antenna(s) are OK.
My next guess is that trees on a neighboring lot have grown enough to block the signal?
Any ideas? Suggestions?
