Jim,

   I live in the Southeastern part of Muskego near Hwys 45 & 36 and I have always gotten a very stable signal from WDJT-DT.  I have the Superbowl on with no problems it looks great.  But then I have a outdoor antenna with rotor and it is also amplified.  SO I am probably cheating unlike some of the other folks.

Jim, Tom, and all others that helped,

I'm up and running... I went up on the roof (in snow and cold!) and replaced the old antenna transformer that connects the antenna to the cable and I also adjusted the direction of the antenna.  I just bought a amplifier and had that connected, and when I turned the tv on I got nothing for 4,12, and 58. So I took the amp off and now at 100% on 4-1, 12-1 and 58-1!  I'm not sure whether replacing the transformer or adjusting the direction of the antenna did the trick, but it looks awesome! Bring on the game!

Thanks for all the help guys I really appreciate it.  I (and many others I'm sure) would be lost without this forum and help of the moderators and other knowledgable people here. Thanks again.

Gregg, Jim, Tom, and others,

Thanks very much for all your assistance in this and other forum subjects.  It has been very helpful.  By the way, here in Muskego, I was finally able to get a good solid CBS signal (around 70%) a couple hours before the Super Bowl.  It made my week!  Moving my attic antenna one last time did the trick.  I used the AntennaWeb diagram to help line it up more exactly and that must have made the difference.  I also had hooked up a small UHF-only antenna in parallel with my main VHF-and-UHF antenna, and pointed it in the same direction.  I think that seems to help strengthen the signal.  They're also in a good position so that I can still get most of the Milwaukee channels, too.  I also have an amplifier to get the signal through the many cable runs through the house.  We've never had a good signal for CBS in the past.  I'm going to have to start watching it more often now.  Thanks again for all your help, and keep the communications coming!
