so far it's working well.......but if you need to use an amplifier.......this unit will only use a 17vdc 50mA one..........if you need more.....you can run two cables.......one from the antenna to amp to tuner.......and the other cable from motor to control box.......

At first when looking at them on line...I though they were plastic molded bodies......but when I got it......it is a metal cast body.....:thumbsup:

Hey Night Prowler.....hope this question isn't considered a hi jack but here it goes.....Do you or anyone else seem to get interference from the sun on an OTA antenna? It seems to me that the suns UV rays interfere with this digital reception much the same way it does with satellite. I seem to experience problems with Buffalo ch 7 around 1 pm or so.The again at 5 or 6 pm on Buffalo ch 29.Have you or anyone else had these experiences?

I don't think the sun has anything to do with it, more of interference from other factors such as atmospheric conditions and local surrounding noise interference....:noidea: maybe Terryl can jump in and go into details.....:thumbsup:

Boy did I miss this one, Sorry.

It could be ground bounce, the TV signal will bounce off the ground just like a rock skipping on a lake if the weather and ground conditions are just right.

This is just like when you’re driving down the road and see what looks like water in the road but then it’s not there, an RF wave will do the same thing.

Another possibility is atmospherics, the TV signal radiates out from the antenna in what would look like a big donut with a very small hole in the middle (the size of the antenna) they try to shape this radiation pattern to get as much signal as possible straight out from the antenna but some will go up, the signal going up will under certain conditions be reflected back down toward the ground.

This reflected signal (ether the one bounced off the ground or reflected back down) is 180 degrees out of phase with the direct incoming signal, when the two signals get to be the same amplitude they will cancel each other out and you will loose the channel your watching for a bit or all together.

Multipath is another problem, that is the TV signal bouncing off all sorts of things like big buildings, lakes, sides of large hills, big parking lots, lots of houses with TV antennas on them, you name it.

This is why it’s best to mount the antenna as high as you can, (peak of the roof, or a large tower) it will avoid most terrestrial interference.

I can only pull in 5 or 6 digital even with the rotor... and 7 or 8 analog..

thats with a 12 foot attena that is good for uhf and vhf high and low. so not sure whats up.. its 30 feet up in the air and I am half way up the escarpment so way over the lake...

Hey Thanks Terryl.....I thought there was something going on....Let me tell you that I am a long time TV FM dxer...I totally understand the propagation thing... I also have been doing satellite for 26 years and am familiar with solar outages and the effect of interference on RF. It seems to me that solar interference is a possibility on ANY digital signal ...given the right conditions.I just wanted to hear it from someone else "in the know" I am 20 miles east of Buffalo in a small town....and have absolutely no barriers between me and the towers, not even trees! PM me sometime and maybe we can trade theories....Mike

Hi boxman, just wanted to let you know that currently there are no HD channels available in 1080p; they're either broadcast in 720p or 1080i. You can only see 1080p if you are watching Blue-ray Dvd with compatible dvd player. :no:

Hey all i just put up a CM4221HD for my dad on his roof and did my scan with my tv. I've adjusted it the best i can i get approx 13 channels. I do however get a low signal on cbs(HD) think its 4-1.
Will i need a preamp to boost my signal on this antenna?? I as well do not get ctv etc. I'm in an area where i should be able to get both toronto and buffalo stations but don't think my signal strength is strong enough. Any help or info would help.

Terryl
03-29-2011, 06:23 PM
An amp will help but make sure you don't overload the TV set with too much signal, raising the antenna higher helps also.

The CM4221 is slightly directional, meaning it works better pointing front toward the signals, if the channels your looking for are off to the side of the antenna you will have a weak signal on them.

You can go to TVfool.com and enter your location, then select the radar plot, it will tell you what is around your area and what direction they are from your locationand what type/size antenna would be needed.

In some cases and in some areas the TV signals are in many different directions, then a TV antenna rotor would be needed.

- TV is a Samsung D630 HD set I do not want to kill it how can i tell if i would overload it?
- Antenna is raised pretty high have it mounted on the highest part of the chimney
- now will it catch signals front and back
- went there did that and this antenna was shown as being sufficient
- was trying to see if i could get away with no motor trying to make it as easy as possible for him :)

tv fool is wrong, CTV digital (9-1) has been available (broadcasting in 1080i, 5.1) the last few years, however like you say, signal not as strong south of CN tower. I have a rotor, and can get most channels (without pre-amp); as a matter of fact, some signals (like CBC 5.1, CHCH 11.1), are so strong, I can have all 4 TV's on them with hardly any signal degradation. Can't get CTV like that though, have to disconnect other 3 from splitter and run straight through in order to get it, ditto for 57-1 (City HD)and 4.1 (CBS). One channel I cannot get for the life of me is 29.1 from Buffalo. Here's a link to what's available in Western New York/Toronto area
hxxp://www.remotecentral.com/hdtv (change x's to t's); I'm not familiar with tv fool, so I've been using that link the last few years. A better bet than the 4221 4-bay previous poster mentioned is the 4228, which has 8 bays; better chance to get the fringe channels.

I guess i should of researched more before getting the 4221HD. I will add the CM7778 to the mix see if i can boost the signal a little more. i guess with this antenna its either buffalo or toronto not both.

It all depends where you're located; my father in law in Oakville lives about a mile from the Lakeshore, and with his 4228 mounted to his chimney, with a 10' mast (without pre-amp) can pull in close to 45 channels (most of Toronto/buf. stations), with approx. 30 being HD and remainder analogue. Some HD channels only come in at certain times of the day, some are SD, some are duplicates. One good thing, can't beat picture quality on HD/SD channels, and no need for cable sub anymore (he's a cheap old bugger, so the cost of the antenna is well worth it). He's pointed somewhere towards the middle between CN tower, and Grand Island NY. If tweaked too far towards Toronto, he loses Buffalo 29-1, it tweaked too far towards Buffalo, he loses 57-1 City TV. That's from his location, yours could be totally different.

My dad is in hamilton, 10 minute drive from highway (centennial parkway). I'll try pointing in the middle as well the hard part is i'll have to rescan everytime i point it. or is there another way to check signal. I tried by putting it on a digital channel and moved antenna that way but didn't make too much a difference.

Is your dad South up Centennial?? If below the Mountain, the closer to the base of the escarpment, the harder to get Buffalo stations; TO stations shouldn't be a problem though. As far as the TV goes, there should be some kind of Signal Strength indicator in the Digital/Antenna setup Menu; some TV's menus/sub-menus are kind of hard to find or follow, but you should be able to find something else to aid you, instead of having to re-scan all the time.

Since Canada went all Digital :yeaah: I swear the analog signals were interfering with the digital ones.....only need to use the rotor to point to CHCH (11-1) and that's only like 10 degrees....all the others(Both US and Canadian) come in without any pixelation!!!!

My channel list above is updated.....:thumbsup:

Yes co-channel and adjacent channel interference is/was a big problem, that is why you dont see channels 22, 23, 23, 24, 25, 26 all in a row at one city, the two channels say 22, 23 would create a third channel and it would interfere with a forth, and you don't see two channels on the same frequency close by each other.

It's all in the math and the harmonics.

You would do nice during football games in your area, those that miss the home team would sign up.
