So, I'll probably keep the Spectrum internet service. And maybe the phone service.I do use Pluto. Pluto is free. I may look into either the Amazon fire stick, or a Roku.

(amplified antenna)
I don’t have that model, but in the old analog days I had an electrically powered signal booster on a long coax run from the outdoor antenna to my TV. It did improve the signal.

I have an omni-directional antennae and I generally get all of the stations that terracore listed. Since yesterday I am getting poor reception on 13-1 and 13-2. 45-1 (13-2 simulcast) is still coming in fine. Anyone else having similar issues, or do I have to go on a troubleshooting mission?

fwiw... I have a cheap antenna and live in the upper area of Hawaiian Acres Rd2 @ C... my antenna is on a 10' piece of wood on my roof. it cost $45 and took 30 minutes to install... I get 10 of the channels that terracore listed including the 'bounce'. I had the 9.2 a couple weeks back but it was just a 'test' screen, then last week it turned into the station with older black related shows....

As Hector approaches it might be good to know that channel 4.3 is showing live weather maps most of the day.

Is 4.3 a temporary channel, or a new full time channel?

No idea. It showed up when I did a scan with a new tv I got last week. It seems to be 24/7 KITV channel that rebroadcasts their newscasts at various times and fills in with weather maps, radar, and quake maps.

I just got a new TV and it picked up 4.3 on the scan, but my older TV couldn't find it even when searching for it manually. Oh well…
I checked all my connections and I'm still getting bad reception on 13.1 and 13.2. Anyone else?

Same problem here. Tried rescanning, no effect. This has happened before and seems to resolve itself after several days or a few weeks.
"Is 4.3 a temporary channel, or a new full time channel?"
I've rescanned a few times in the last few days for the problem mentioned above, no 4.3 here.
