is there a reason that I do not get fox 6 at all with my samsung sir t451 that I bought yesterday?  I live near 20th and layton.  And could anyone recomend a signal booster so some of the channels don't break up so much?  Thankyou

Probably not welcome to the boat that the rest of us are in until they complete
their upgrade.  Still running extremely low power, but hang in there coming soon? :bang:

I think you should get Fox6 at your location, I have it here in Muskego. Just try a better antenna. ChannelMaster 4228 will work 100%.

I'm at 84th and Layton and have no trouble getting Fox 6 with an old Radio Shack roof antenna.

Thanks alot for the info.  Should of mentioned I am in an apt complex, so have to go with a smaller antenna for now.  Got a new booster from Radio shack today and will try that...will let you know.  Thanks for answering, appreciate it.

:) Thanks tom for sending me to those posts. the signal booster did not really help too much but we now get the anolog 18 to come in better so my wife is happy about it. I will try to be patient but after scraping enough money for a 50" Samsung DLP, terk tv 55 anntenna, and now the signal booster is a bit frustrating to have the signal jump around so much. :Smash:

Hmm... I hated my Terk 55 and returned it... don't know that I've ever talked to anyone who ever had one and liked it.

Most of us here will swear by the those Radio Shack indoor double bowties... I tried mine first with an amp.. thought I would need it. Turns out I got nothing with the amp, removed it, and get every single local HD station with a 70% or better signal strength...and I'm almost out in Hubertus...

I think I might try that since I should be able to talk my wife into another $15.00 seems wierd that it would work better than the $100 one

I also had Terk 55 for total of one day. It was so bad, but fortunately I was able to return it. Lost on shipping, but it was well worth because I switched to another antenna from Radio Shack which worked fine, excwpt Fox6. Now I am using ChanellMaster 4228 ($40 at Marmax at Rawson Ave) in the attic and get all chanells, even Chicago stations with corresponding rotation angle. I am waiting for Fox6 going full power, then I just rotate it to Chicago and likely will get both Milwaukee and Chicago markets. I tried it now but Fox6 dissapeared. Maybe full power Fox6 signal will help me to accomplish my goal. Or maybe I wil get a rotator.

I'm here on 80th and Howard and I get Fox at 88% on a $30 Radio Shack Antenna.

bow-ties and rabbit ears work okay in my 2nd floor bedroom in germantown.
