Do you get the five public broadcasting stations too? I wouldn't want you to miss Urban Voices on Sunday mornings. pssst.. I'll bet Tom even records them for further review. Im sure glad I bought this antenna and set-up. I suppose I have less than $75 invested.....and I get all the channels I need. This is a good deal if you want to cut the cable cord.....IMO. I have not spent much time with my stations.....but it likely has most of what I want / need to see. FREE! / easy!

There's lots of good TV on those antenna channels. Hogan's Heros, Gilligan's Island, The Loveboat, The Rifleman and more.

I get all the stations the web tools said I "might" get. Maybe could get more if I fooled around with my rotor more. But, most important to me is that I get the major networks so I can watch most of the football games. I don't get things like ESPN or the Golf Channel......but I can survive with what I get. The antennas said above are cheap online......glad I bought the set-up I did. (ART - this may be the deal for you??)

I think I might have this figured out. I was perusing antennas this morning and came across one that had better reviews for customer service. I went to their site and found an antenna selector based on your location. This one provided the best information I've seen about my location in the bush, and they showed which one would pull in the most channels. antopusa.com/learn-more/antenna-selection-guide/I'm heading over to Menards this morning to figure out how to get this bird up in the air. What's even neater, this antenna is set up to run on 12 volt already.

Apparently my TV reception has gone to shit. When I installed this antenna last fall, I could pull in something like 23 stations, and all were as clear as could be. Now, I can't get anything but the two WCCO stations and choppy reception on the 6 public stations. I went back and checked the map on Antop's website, and the stations I used to pull from Hibbing are long gone, and most I got aren't even listed anymore.
Piece of shit. Even before leaves formed this spring, it wouldn't work for shit. Anyone else losing their tv reception in the bush?

Seems to me that there was some sort of announcement on local tv stations about a change for antenna users about 6 months ago. I didn't pay much attention as I have cable. From what I remember you have to do a channel scan on your tv to get the new frequencies that they are operating on.

I was up at my cabin a week ago and the reception there (NW WI) hadn't changed. I have my antenna on a big tree next to my cabin and when it is windy the reception gets worse. It's still pretty decent though and it offers more than enough stations for a simple cabin TV.

Shit, that's even worse yet. I'm gonna have to try pointing at Blackduck. Looks like there is only one transition for the Duluth region, and that isn't until next year.

Liking my Dish Network at $7 a month up north........... I have same deal with direct tv. They even let me turn it off in the winter. Sad to say but it plays a factor in getting the kids to go up.

Liking my Dish Network at $7 a month up north........... Tell me more. I had to put direct tv at my house. I already had it at camp. Now all I am on the hook for at camp is the $7 for the extra receiver. I am still on the hook for the full shot at home.
