cbs trouble
Re: cbs trouble
That's the full band one, so it is pretty huge at 104" x 81". Your current antenna seems sufficient, maybe just swap out the preamp for one that doesn't have a filter and add a separate filter.

Re: cbs trouble
So I have the televes assembled. this thing is big. It is the size of my 2nd gen prius. It takes up a whole spot in my garage where I would normally park my car. I will call a roof guy during the week to inspect my roof and make sure it can handle it. then I have to get someone to carry this up a ladder so it is a big job. in the mean time, I signed up for fubo and have been getting cbs in channels dvr via the vlc-bridge-fubo project but not sure how long that would last so I really want to get this antenna mounted. I will keep you posted. thanks.

Re: cbs trouble
very odd. 5 min ago I was getting 98 channels now it shows 83. I guess I have to invest in a lte/5g filter. which one is best for low-vhf. thanks.
fyi with the old antenna I was getting 120 channels.

Re: cbs trouble
An LTE filter is a low-pass filter, and all would be "best" even for low-vhf, as long they have the same frequency basis (some older LTE filters are from the previous LTE expansion to the 700MHz range, and the current ones are for the ~608MHz expansion, so look for that in the details). I am sure SD would suggest their branded filter ("tested and validated"?), but there are others to choose from. Whether they will help depends on the details of your environment (but they are generally useful and recommended).techpro2004 wrote: Fri Aug 29, 2025 3:31 pm very odd. 5 min ago I was getting 98 channels now it shows 83.
