Question about digital TV reception

BroadHopper · 01-14-2017, 04:16 PM

Currently have a VHF/UHF antennae on a tripod with a rotator. I did not need an amplifier and it works great with 300 Mhz wire. Use to be able to pull in the Portland and Boston station on clear day. Clear as a bell! When the solar display is down and on a clear night I could get Montreal and Montpelier!

When the change to digital, the setup was useless, but I was able to get the Montreal channel every now and then, useless to me as it was in French.

I did try cable wire and amplifier but no difference.
