alibies Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 I dont have cable and have been picking up tv using a flat digital antenna for a while. In the last 2 weeks fox suddenly disappeared. Is it just me? maybe I need a new antenna but all the other channels are fine! I've looked around online and didn't really find anything. I'm missing all the good cartoons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avenger1647545502 Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 I think I recall them having a message about swapping transmitters on late at night about 2 weeks ago. They were off for about 5 minutes, then came back on...I'm guessing that was the swap. Call them and ask them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitrousbird Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 There is no such thing as a "digital antenna." That's a marketing term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark1647545493 Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 I've got channel 28 playing right now on a tiny 7in portable TV with a 2.5ft antenna attached to it and it's coming in crystal clear. Is your TV's tuner set to receive an "over the air" signal or a "cable" signal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark1647545493 Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 I just noticed you're in Centerburg... you're probably going need an amplified antenna for any kind of quality reception. This website might help you too... http://www.antennaweb.org/aw/welcome.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
