Re: Best performing HDTV Antennae Reply #25 – April 28, 2018, 01:47:24 pm Hmmm, might have to buy one of these since you can't ever have too many gadgets. Later this summer I plan to remove the non-working Tracstar satellite dish and all of the accompanying parts and pieces and clean up and simplify the coax wiring. I only really use the OTA antenna and a hard disc with movies. Plan to remove the VHS and DVD player also. Now if I can only figure out how the flat screen tv is mounted to the cabinet....I'd like to utilize the space behind it but can't figure out how it is mounted, nor can I access the wires on the tv back panel.

Re: Best performing HDTV Antennae Reply #26 – April 28, 2018, 10:58:51 pm I have a king jack mounted on an old style crank up system. When it's down and we are going down the road I can hear it knocking on the roof. Is this a common problem or is there a fix? It annoys the crap outta me. I considered getting that is permanently mounted up(shorter). Any thoughts? Quote Selected
Re: Best performing HDTV Antennae Reply #27 – April 28, 2018, 11:05:58 pm Months ago I attempted to troubleshoot the CATV connection and used Bruce's technique to ID the cables with an ohm meter. I was not successful. I also have a non working track star that I expect to remove soon also. Since I can never have too many gadgets, looks like the signal/ tone generator is in my future. Thanks to all for the helpful comments. Quote Selected
