Well, I finally bought a new TV (HDTV). Our 1983 picture tube had started a slow death....
In Lynnwood,WA we were getting ABC-4,NBC-5,CBS-7,KCTS-9, CW-11, KVOS-12,FOX-13,KONG-16 and KTZZ-22,& 20, all with the antenna in our attic. 4,5,7,12,13, and 20 all had HD channels in Lynnwood, but we moved in Jan and now I only get HD 13.1 and 20.1 - 20.5! I can get in 4,5,7,11,12,13 plus 3 Canadian stations, all but 12 & 13 are quite grainy.
So...I thought FTA satelite from gosatelite.com. The Viewsat eXtreme Pkg is quite expensive ($349) just to get my LOCAL TV stations.
Any suggestions on FTA Pkgs. for local broadcasts only - We do not want to order cable or Sateltie services.
Your kindness is greatly appreciated,
Samantha...
....hoping for some help
Hi,
Yes, I get 7 (5 are from TBN, 1 Shopping and FOX in HD).
I have been looking at the AntennaWeb.com site and trying to learn as much as possible. We have a very old low range antenna in the attic now, so I have been thinking about a "Large or Medium Directional w/pre-amp. Radio Shack's VU-190 XR might be worth checking out, and they are close by.
I don't think the viewsat has the high def channels yet. I didn't think any free to air recievers had them. But after looking at the website you provided it looks like the coolsat now has HD. Can anybody else confirm this? I've got a pansat 3500sd and it don't have HD yet but I have heard that pansat is working on it.
why dont you get a 18 inch dish and aim at 82 or 91 west which is bev, both have alot of HDTV programming,
you'll just have to do a little reaserch as of where to find the current bins
