Hey guys.

I've got a simple indoor antenna for the living room. I'm about ten miles from the tower and never had any issues, but all of sudden, starting last night, my reception has gotten really bad.

Does anyone know why this could be ? It's been a little warmer in the last day or two, not very cloudy at all.

Any thoughts would greatly be appreciated and I'm planning on moving the antenna higher, hopefully the attic, this weekend.

Just odd that I've never had any trouble until last night

You may have seen my previous post about Fox 26 in Houston removing DRM from their 3.0 broadcast. That left only KHOU and Telemundo (who are owned by the same ppl IIRC) and I noticed today I was able to get the Arsenal vs West Ham game on the 3.0 channel on Telemundo.. so I went to Rabbit Ears and it also is showing the same… no more DRM in Houston.

🎉🎉🎉

Hey guys, I had a genuine doubt and wanted some real opinions from people who know about defense life.

Can CDS officers (Army/Navy/Air Force) actually afford luxury cars like Audi, BMW, etc.? Have you personally seen officers owning such cars?

I understand the salary is decent and there are perks, but I’m curious about the real ground reality — not just numbers on paper. Like:

- At what rank does it become realistically possible?

- Is it common or very rare?

- Do officers even prefer buying luxury cars, or do they stick to practical ones?

I’m trying to understand the lifestyle aspect of a defense career vs other paths like corporate/business.

Would really appreciate honest answers 🙏

I see they are running a crawl saying they are going Off Air May 8th due to a ongoing breach of contract with Luken Communications.

This network blows my mind. How does it exist? How does it make money? Why has it taken so long for something like this to exist?

I see tiny original content based around bumpers and advertisements. Who’s making these? I want more.

I can’t be the only one who genuinely feels like this channel is what Cartoon Network started out as.

I'm gonna get a DVR and stuff but when I learned that the ADTH box can record channels should I get it?

Also the reason I'm not getting something like tablo is because I want it to hook directly to my TV and my TV's smart features are BAD =(

After two posts unrelated to over-the-air broadcasting, perhaps now is the time to rename from "ota" to "OverTheAir"... or any other suitable name. Any other suggestions?

High weirdness...installed the below antenna on a shed roof connecting via un-amped RG6 to a HDHR. Now when I tested this antenna inside on a random chair I got better signals than when in the air. Antenna went outside, higher up, better wire (factory instead of self-made) and now less channels? LTE interference? Any other ideas? 69.1 is our hyperlocal station and up high I'm not even getting that. Pointed around 158 degrees as i'm trying to hit Philly.

Mounter higher up is an RTK reference station, with HaLow (900Mhz) and BT (2.4Ghz) if that matters?
