I had a Sony XBR2 for two weeks and it got Fox six with a solid signal.  I live in Richfield at Hwy167 and Scenic Dr.  This is with an attic mounted RS 210 yagi.  I can not get it now with a SIRT165 using the RS or an outdoor mounted Silver Sensor.

Was this before November 1st when WISN-DT went on  the air....they are adjacent channel and wiped it out for most of us (yeah the 3 or so that used to be able to get it).

*Samsung SIR-T151.
*Shorewood, Kensington/Maryland (Approx 8 miles from Fox studios)
*Put up a Winegard Platinum antenna in the attic as close as I could get it to the north wall pointing directly at WITI studios.
Got a clear signal last night with no dropouts. However, had trouble receiving other stations so had to reposition thus losing WITI signal.  At least I know I can reposition it for packer games.  Is WITI sending through widescreen still or is that on the backburner until their main tower is ready?

With the antenna I have sever multi-path and will only get 100 on WTMJ with occasional breakups. 10, 12, and 58 are all between 60-85. If I move the antenna outside on the porch facing the towers though, all signals will shoot to 100 and 6 at that point will shoot to a rock solid 45-55, which because it is so stable is 100% watchable.

When poining to your location, good stable picture and audio.  Approx 60-65%.

It's widescreen and well worth moving your antenna for.  They have also been doing a better job sending the other widescreen shows.  Sure they still have problems on their end, but it's worth watching, in my opinion.

I'm located at Good Hope Rd & 76th Street basically and i DO get 6-1 on my Samsung SIR-T165 with a set of UHF/VHF "rabbit-ears and an amplifier (some old Archer thing I found). It's not a real good quality picture though. I guess I should just be happy my STB locked the signal up!
