I setup a ant at a friends house. He lives in Richfield, Just West of the Pioneer Bowl, His back yard is connected to Kettle Hills, He is elevated a little. Put up a HD7084, from wanguard, no preamp (yet), has a RP HD Mits set, about 4 years old,I got him a hughs E-86 for OTA, Gets most all other channels, except 24-1 and 12-1, in the menu there is nothing on signal bar, nothing. Have tried rotating ant. It is just weird have installed many for freinds never had this before, most all other stations are very high some at 100%, Read somewhere that you can have a strong crossover that kills other stations. Any thoughts or suggestions, thanks Budda.P.S it is outside, on the roof, above roofline,no wires.

What kind of signal strengths are you getting on the other channels? I assume you tried going directly to channel 34

Full bar, 58-! was at 82%, I did not go to 34 but did direct tune to 12-1 on the hughes receiver , and the scan does not pick it up either.

All works when I input 34-1, 12-1 does not show up even if you manually input it. I forgot that some E-86's are stream updated when used for DTV, this one was never subed used for OTA the whole time I think maybe it has old or out dated software, just a guess. thanks for the help. Budda
