What's up with FOX6

[StarvingForHDTV]

Thanks Gregg.  I adjusted my antenna, and I have their signal again.

I am banging my head against the wall again...any advice would be appreciated.  If you recall, I was having trouble getting FOX6 with my antenna in my attic.  I rotated the antenna from due north about 30 degrees to the East, and I was able to pick up the signal, but the picture does freeze momentarily from time to time...probably several times per hour.  I decided I would just have to move the antenna to the roof to solve the problem...possibly adding a rotor.  Based on other threads, it sounded like my antenna inside the attic of my aluminum sided house would cause quite a drop in signal strength.  Well, today I mounted the antenna (temporarily) on my roof, and my signal strength is exactly the same as it was in the attic...so much for that theory.  Well, now I am stuck again, so here is my setup...any tips on what people may see as the problem would be appreciated...

I have a Zenith GEMDTV1 antenna...you can see a picture of it at buy.com.  I got it because it was small...and I wasn't aware of all the good results with the cannelmaster at that time.   I just went to Menards and it was the best option they had.  I have a 25 foot coax run from the attic to the basement. There I have a signal amp that I also bought at menards.  From there I have a 50 foot coax run to a wall jack by the tv...then I have a short piece of coax that goes to a splitter.  From there I have a short piece of coax that goes to my samsung SIR-T151.  The other lead from the splitter goes to my receivers fm antenna.  I receive all signals...every milwaukee channel...at "9 bars"...a little over 50% I would say based on how this receiver displays signal strength.  The picture from every staton is just fine, but occasionally the picture will just freeze and the receiver will have to re-lock on to the signal...

What should I try next...

Thanks

Come on...somebody must have some advice...some thoughts on what my issue is.  Tonight  I wathced the packers game (Eagles just took the lead 10-9) and other than a little pixelation, I have not had any problems, and my signal is just "4 bars" on my reciever...about 30% of max.  Why do I have no problems tonight, and when I have a signal strength of "9 bars" with the antenna in my attic, I lose the signal periodically.  I have not noticed any increase in signal strength since I moved the antenna outside, but I do seem to have fewer of those periodic signal losses...

One of you guys must have some ideas...

Doug Mohr...are you the same Doug More who used to play bass for In Decision...what do you think?

What about that pirate guy...oh yeah...he's rich and has cable...

Isn't there anyone who can give me some real help...

Thanks.

Just visit Marmax, one block east of Rawson & 76, on the left side, and spend $20 for ChannelMaster 4221 or better, $40 for ChannelMaster 4228. Try it first without amplifier first. :guitar:
