I am in West Bend, have a Directv installed winegard gs1000. I get 4 and 12 great, only analog 6, but nothing for 58. I know 6 has issues, but people seem to get 58. Any suggestions?

I'm in Franklin and can't get 58 or 6.  We called DirecTv and got a waiver from CBS so we can get CBSHD on channels 80 & 81.  We do pay extra for it, though.  

And we pay extra for local channels, and extra for the HD package, and extra for Sunday Ticket and we still couldn't watch the Lions/Bears in HD on Sunday :mad: I'm sure we won't get to see the Packers in HD this Sunday either.  Sorry, I think that's being covered in another thread.

I live in West Bend and I get all the stations.  My antenna is 35 feet high.  I have a big antenna on it with a pre/amp.  I am down low in West Bend.  I live off of indania.

COMET

has anyone had any luck with the silver sensor?

easylistener

I think that you won't have much luck with the silver sensor in west Bend.  It is pretty far away, plus most of west bend is low.

I'm at a high point in West Bend, near Cabrini.  No problem with 6 or 58 digital.  I have a roof antenna and a Mits with a Promise Module.  What is your elevation?

COMET

I am right behind Blockbuster on Lincoln Dr.

Comet,

If you have a way to install outside, I'd recommend a large long-range antenna. The Winegard HD8200P or something similar. Get it up as high as you can.

easylistener

I am right down the street from you comet.  I am on Riverview dr.  I have the 7200 wingard I think.  If you want you can stop over and take a look at what I am using.  You are a little higher than me.  Just let me know and I will give you my address.

I've got a 8 bowtie channelmaster on a 10' mast and get everything, but CBS 58 is pixelated quite often.  I'm just north of HWY 33 on HWY G.  I've tried a few different antennas and can't seem to pull in CBS.  Fox on the otherhand comes in no problem.

COMET

Just an update, I was just checking 58-1 tonight and it come in crystal clear. I did nothing with my antenna that directv installed. ANybody know why I get it so clear. Maybe because the season premiers are on? Needless to say, I'm very happy. Now if Fox could magically appear!

COMET

I spoke too soon. As fast as the crystal clear signal came it went. I am back to nothing for CBS!
