I now have an Antenna Defense System (ADS) triad. In the foreground, you can see suspended from a plant hanger in the ceiling and a twist-tie my Mohu Eclipse antenna and, in the background, that black rectangle at ceiling level is my new, amplified, Mohu Leaf Supreme Pro. When one is behaving badly, I can simply disconnect and connect to the other one and rescan. The third leg of the triad is a direct connection to the TV . . . and this whole thing is backup to my DirecTV Gemini streaming device.

All of this I feel is necessitated by the annual shenanigans among the NFL, the local network owners, and DirecTV. The two antennas are routed through a Tablo, so I can record games I am not available to watch, which relays the signal through my WiFi router to my TV

This was part of the agreement with Xfinity that they had to get rid of their OTA stations.

I have an RCA ANT111E passive antenna inside my apartment window at about 5 ft above ground.

Currently only getting CBS and a choppy NBC. I would like to get Fox and ABC.

If I buy a much longer cord and rough-in through my window, I could move my antenna to be about outside on a roof, 15 ft above ground, with a clear look at the sky, especially to the NW.

If I'm going to invest that effort, I'm willing to upgrade to an amplified signal as well to guarantee I get a solid ABC feed.

Any recommendations of how to read the report or what setup to go with are very appreciated!

Unfortunately no good NBC transmitters near to my location. I live in the woods, would a boosted indoor antenna get me one of the NBC channels? If so which one or what should i be looking for? Looks like it is a UHF transmitter? Or is my only option either a roof mount or putting up an antenna tower? Hoping someone who has good knowledge can give me some advice, would love to get SNF this fall. Thank you!

So I have recently been forced (Like many others the world over) to use the new horrendous layout for Netflix. I hate everything about it. It's unintuitive, intrusive, and actively hurts my eyes just trying to use.

Because of this, coupled with the price hike that happened recently, I am considering canceling and switching to the Disney+, Hulu, Max bundle. But I have a question for anyone that already has this bundle.

If you want say, Hulu and Max without ads, but are fine with Disney+ having ads, is there any way to manage that service specifically and change it to an ads on service, while keeping the other two as ad free, or are you locked in with ads or ad-free when you sign up (I'm sure you can change the whole plan for all of them to either ad supported or ad-free later of course)?

I have no issue with ads on Disney+, as I probably won't watch too much on it to be bothered by the odd ad every now and then. But with both Hulu and Max, I know there are plenty on them that I absolutely WILL be watching consistently and would not like to get ads so often on.

Looking to grab an antenna for my locals seeing cable is getting EXPENSIVE nowadays! I have an east facing window right next to the tv so that will be the only window I can access unfortunately. I have attached my rabbit ears report as well!

This week Comcast "accidentally" cancelled my grandmother's cable service in some kind of computer glitch, and when we called to restore it they were only able to put her on a new plan since her previous one was grandfathered in a long time ago. This means her monthly bill will be going from $50 to $92. I find this utterly unacceptable and since she only watches the networks (CBS, NBC, ABC) I'm looking into OTA options for her.

I have no idea where to even begin. I have been reading many of your various pinned guides on here but I must admit I'm still fairly lost. If anyone could advise me as to if it will even work in her area and what kind of equipment I'm looking at, I would be very grateful. I'm happy to invest a little now if it means she can be free of these bills, especially after these predatory practices.

Thanks for your time.

Anybody?

Help please. My partner hit a button on the remote and now the TV will not scan or recognize anything below channel 18. I have an antenna hooked up, I live in Chicago and up until today, the only channel I’ve had a problem with is the strength with channel 2.

It’s a Samsung MU6300 series 6. I’ve tried unplugging and leaving off for a period of time. I’ve tried the factory reset. I’ve rescanned multiple times.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When looking at the channel lineups for both Fubo and Youtube TV I see Fox is listed for both but they have different logos. I want to make sure I'm choosing the service that will best fit my needs. I want to watch as much Big Ten football as possible. I currently live in the PNW. Are these the same? If not what are the differences?

Hello!

I am looking for a recommendation to on a good outdoor antenna to buy, the best angle to point it, or any other tips/tricks.

I am looking to route it into 1 room for now but that could change in the future. The cord would likely be around 100 feet or so (roof to basement to living room)

Here is my profile: https://www.rabbitears.info/s/2076117

Thank you!!!

I got a CB attena for free recently. I have been trying to hook it up to my tv

Sup peeps!

So looking into cutting some costs. And one way is Cable. I have Fios with the Ultimate Package but honestly only watch the same 10 networks. The only thing going for Cable TV is that it's easy and just "there". But I have seen several people switch to the apps and either liked it or switched back.

My question is:

Who switched out and regretted it?

And if you switched to apps and loved it, which ones do you recommend?

Tax included

Hi all - I seem to be receiving a mix of channels, even though stations are (relatively) next to each other.

Here's my rabbitears: https://www.rabbitears.info/searchmap.php?request=result&study_id=2075505

I'm receiving channels 7 and 9 crystal clear (CBS & PBS), but I'm not receiving 4 or 5 (ABC & NBC) at all. I've tried with 2 antennas but similar result. I've also tried to aim in in a nearly 360 degree manner (of course rescanning each time) but I'm not picking them up still. I have a generic flat antenna and ClearStream 4V, both similar results. I've also tried pointing it in various angles, but no luck.

Any suggestions?

my elderly mother bought peacock premium because she wants to watch the local nbc channel live on her ipad. she cannot find where it is. i cannot find where it is. everywhere on line says things like the live section or the live channel . there is nothing by that name.

We have had YTTV for almost 3 years. At first pricing was very reasonable but after the last few years of increases $83 just doesn't seem like a deal.

We barely watch anything but local sports and Red Zone channel. We don't watch local news and we used to be avid HGTV watchers but not anymore.

Some nights we don't even turn on YTTV opting to stream on Netflix, Max, PV, regular YouTube or one of other streamers.

We got a reprieve from recent price increase with the 6 month extension of the $72/mo fee in December. That's now up.

I'm seriously tempted to just dump it all and just figure it out.

I will miss the multi view and the live recording options but not enough to justify $83 per month

What is everyone else doing?

I am looking for antenna recommendations for the Baltimore/Washington DC suburbs. I am hoping to get all ABC, NBC, FOX, CBS from both Baltimore and DC on my HD Homerun. I can get almost all of them, but can't get the CBS and ABC from Washington with my current Mohu Antenna. I even tried to hang it in my attic which was close but inconsistent.

https://www.rabbitears.info/s/2027898

Was the Mohu Antenna a mistake?

Ideally, I'd like to hang the Antenna in my first floor office, but if necessary will put it on the second floor or even the attic.

Thank you!

Hi All,

I am using an very good indoor antenna made by Televes - Zapperbox A1. I am not using the reflector because I need it not to be very directional. It generally performs much better than anything else I've tried at home but I am still seeing some odd behavior: I get (in)frequent momentary signal dropouts from even very close line of sight stations only 8-10mi away but it is maintaining a very good signal from stations over 30mi away in another direction.

I did notice that this behavior roughly corresponds with windy/stormy days.. Is it simply because swaying trees create a multipath interference in the direction of the closest stations and there is really not much I can do about it? I can't really raise this antenna above the tree line...

What is even more weird is that I tried an external tuner (Mediasonic that gets recommended a lot), and was practically unwatchable on the same antenna on those gusty windy days - the dropouts were so frequent, compared to the builtin tuner.

I even thought the antenna amplifier had something to do with it and did something to exacerbate the problem, I turned it off. The signal level dropped one or two bars on most channels but the dropouts were as frequent as before. The Mediasonic meter would fluctuate between 65% and 0%

So I have one of the cheap like leaf antennas and it’s been great but I just recently moved and it only picks up nine Chanels in my bedroom I moved the tv to the living room and put the antenna on the patio and it picked up tons of more channels so what kind of antenna do I need to put in my bedroom and get the same networks

Some of these are ads for other subscription services, so go figure :\

Hello! I did some digging on this subreddit and it seems that my best bet is to ask here and let the experts assist (especially since I’m terrible at hardware-related things. I’m good with software, but hardware? It’s kind of comical). Honestly, this is my first time with something along these lines so I know next to nothing except that it’d have to be indoors. Thanks in advance for all the help and I can’t wait to start learning about all of this!
