I have a fairly large attic antenna model unknown, but at least ten feet in length and a wingard pre-amp.  All my digital channels are 100% on a Directv H20 except channel 18-1 (WB network) which is zero. Comments or solutions please.

Really need more information....ie:  your location and have you checked the physical channel to make sure your receiver is actually tuned to the right channel.

located in brookfield. antenna looks similar to channelmaster 3679 model. antenna is pointed pretty much due east.  

don't know how to the check the physical channel, but will try to learn.  I don't understand the numbering system for HD very well.

thanks for your response. let me know what other infomation would be helpful

18-1 (61 digtal) is not at full power. Use titantv.com antenna selector or antennaweb.org, determine the direction angle to ch 18-1, Then use compass and aimed the antenna. If you will not get any luck, then wait until spring when this chanell goes full power.

With an outdoor you may be able to fudge more. With the multipath plus their weak signal, the only way I get 18 is if I "want" to on my indoor antenna. Haven't watched a lick of 18-1 in 6 months because of this issue. My antenna gets everything else fine in it's current position including 24-1. Any changes compromises either CBS or ABC which offer more programming.
