WCAU is known for bad engineering. I'll bet they were off the air.

I'm receiving OTA 10-1 right now - no problem.

i got home and checked....was mostly out...signal was in the 40s...id get occasional pic. Every other OTA had the same signal readings as it has always had. Therefore i dont believe my DB8 has moved at all.

I have to move all my SP from the hdtivo to HR20 for nbc now...had to do that for channel 6 too of course. I need more SL on hr20 than 50! c'mon directv

i still have issues..cant get UHF 67.....signal is bouncing like severe multipath but every other stations is fine so i dont understand how just one station could have an issue

ideas?

I'm north of Exton, and WCAU has always been a tough grab for me. I get KYW, 'PVI, 'BYE, NJN, and even little WFMZ from Allentown OTA. Fox is 50/50. But NBC is usually a no-go.

Of course, WHYY (PBS) never comes in.

at this moment my meter is jumping from 0 to the 30s....no pic at all of course on 67

for the fun of it i went thru the other channels

66 is low 60s (i dont watch)
64 is solid 71
54 is solid 71
50 is 40-60 fluctuating (normal)
42 is solid 78-82
34 is 71-80
32 is 92
27 is 90
26 is 92
25 is 90
22 is 55-60 (dont watch)

so all others appear normal. with all these other readings i'm positive the antenna didnt move.

i guess just forced to wait until they move to 34 and thankfully thats in a month.

is it possible to have new multipath on just one station?
