I only use antenna TV for NFL football. I would use it for ALOT more viewing if I could reliably record it, but I can't.
You see, the major networks have antennas located in 3-4 different locations in my area.
In order to watch a station, I must first aim the antenna in the direction of the antenna. Then I must do small tweaks because if it isn't exactly right, the signal goes in an out. (and this being digital, we aren't talking about a little snow). And inexplicably the "perfect" location for the antenna seems to vary from one day to the next.
And of course one station uses VHF (rabbit ears) and the rest use UHF (bow ties), but that's just one more headache I won't get into here.
Anyone in my situation and did you manage to solve it so that you can set up a DVR reliably?
