Whats up with WMVT-DT?  I haven't been receiving them the last 2 weeks. I get no signal strength on any of the DTV receivers here on ch. 35.

I am surprised to see nothing about WMVT-DT here in the Forums. You can't be receiving them can you?  I rotated the antenna but no change in locating signal on ch. 35. All the other stations come in great, no change. Just no 36-1.

Still have full signal strength on my receivers in Oak Creek.

What antenna are you using?

No issues here either.  Rarely if ever have trouble with 36-1.

VERY INTERESTING!!!!  I do have a rotor on my antenna...let me check.

OK Got it. The strange thing is I had to turn my antenna to the East-South-East. I used to get it no matter what position the antenna is at.

I am thinking maybe something changed since the Ice Storm 2 weeks ago?  Obviously my rotor is working, but whether the antenna is in accordance to the director indicator on my rotor is accurate or not.  Because of the winds we had a few weeks ago could have yank it out of alignment. I'll have to check on that later, like Saturday when I am home and its light out to see if the antenna and rotor match. If not, I'll live with it for a few months. Not going to get bent out of shape climbing an icy-snowy roof worrying about it as long as I know what it is.

JimBoy I am using some 6 year old Radio Shack antenna.
