I don't know. Never knew about this. Perhaps I should try one of our small digital TV's before I do more??? Some of these channels HAVE to come in....I think. Baffled.

Move a flat screen and try it.
We have a rotor on the roof of our cabin and antenna is at least 30 ft up.
We get one channel.
Hence the reason i installed a dish.

All signals are digital now. An analog tv will not be able to pickup any signals unless you have the converter box. Try one of your digital tv's from home.

If the TV is made of wood with big dials and numbers on the front you should try a newer one-

Guys taunt you with crap you forgot or don't know.....like digital signals and crap like that. When I was your age....we didnt need no stinking digital stuff. We relied on smoke signals and drums to get the news. I bet you guys don't even know the morse code! (pardon my ignorance )

Foggy,
Like Tom said bring a smaller digital to your camp and try it. It should be fine. I had the same issue at our camp with an old tv that needed a box. The best solution was to get a new tv instead of using the box.

60 inch. Cheap now. yeah....but it may "overpower" my 12x18' cabin. no decision on size yet....but it's gonna be "sufficient" to watch some football.

Just don't buy to expensive of tv. Because when you watch the Vikings get their asses whipped by the Packers you will most likely throw some thing at tv in disgust. lol

foggy- Shortly I will be sending you a message. Let's hope the fog clears so you can read it. watch the sky to the south, but PLEASE don't break out in a DANCE. We got enough rain.
I also suggest you don't worry about the TV. I have not watched TV in two years and life is better.
Just tell Batman that the wood rotted away and the dials fell off.

WHOOO HOOOO......17 Channels crystal clear TV. NBC/ CBS / FOX / movies, and lots of public tv (boooo) I will get the vikings games......so I will watch some packer butts being kicked.
THANKS for setting me straight on the digital TV! That got instant results.....and the TV looks nearly like cable here at home.

I wouldn't want you to miss Urban Voices on Sunday mornings.
