Lost 58-1

[dapinger]

I seem to be the only one that has this problem.  My reception on 58-1 was not that good to begin with, generally about 37%, but a couple of months ago I noticed it dropped to 20% and last week I lost it all together.  I don't get any reception on any of the digital 58 channels.

Has anyone else noticed reduced/lost reception levels?

I get signal strength readings anywhere between 0- 70%, but for some unknown reason have never gotten any picture with CBS 58.  First I thought maybe it is mapped at 46-1, or 1-1 as I had read in other threads, but neither worked either.  I am very frustrated by this.  I am only 15ish miles from the tower and can't get the channel.  I feel your pain, but at least you got it at one time.  Perhaps you'll get it again.  What type of OTA antenna do you use?  Indoor/outdoor?  Powered/Amplified?

It's probably the new leaves on the trees.

The antenna is an outdoor ChannelMaster 4228 mounted on a rotor.  Where I am at optimal reception for 58, 4 & 12 are all at different positions.  Generally, one position works for all, but sometimes I have to turn the antenna to hold a good picture.  Over the past few days I have tried +/- about 45* from 58's normal position with no success.  I'm wondering if they have dropped their power.(?)

Dapinger,

Same with me.  I live on the backside of a pretty decent hill in SW Waukesha (city)  I generally received 58-1 at about 45% during football season (fall 2003), It was 30-40% during NCAA's in march.  It dropped to 0-20% in april/may.

I have an attic mounted antenna.  I think I am going to call and have my antenna / OTA signal checked to see it that is a problem.  I thought the same thing, that maybe they dropped the power a little more.  Who knows, but I have until football season to get it in as I really don't watch much else on 58.
