That appears to be the same antenna as the RCA ANT751R. As far as I can tell, the ANT751 was the original version for analog/digital, and the 751R was tuned for digital channel frequencies. Amazon...

I don't think the two main VHF channels are moving back to UHF, although I don't know how to find that definitively. After the Google searches, I see this is a relatively common problem. These...

No metal roof, but I do have a very large and tall tree directly in front of my house, right in the path of the broadcast antennas.
I'm growing increasingly convinced the VHF channels are going to...

Yeah, it's a two-story townhouse. The attic isn't exactly small, but the rafter supports would make a big directional antenna a bit awkward. It could probably be done, but I've been looking at the...

Suburbs of DC- Montgomery County.
I'm not that far from the broadcast antennas (<15 miles), but I've got a brick house and all my jacks are on interior walls away from windows. So, I don't have a...

You're only going to get CC if you use an over-the-air ATSC tuner or use CableCard. Though, if your cable provider was previously TWC, then I'd worry that the channels would be DRMed and thus unable...

My HDMI encoder stopped working yesterday. Restarting my SageTV server seemed to initially fix it, but maybe I didn't test it enough because it's broken today.
