I have been using SV8000 in Mississauga for the past year only for the OTA channels.. I get 14 HD and 2 SD most of the time.. But do not get Fox and NBS.. i just us the factory file.. Tried the old 412 bin as well.

Start Frequency 473000
End Frequency 851000
Step Frequency 6000

When it scan it 1 to 64 only.. i heard that some channels are till 69 how do i change the End Frequency to more and the Step Freq as well... I use and 8 bay on the 2nd floor and have bought a CM3414 yesterday to boost the signal a bit but no luck...

tks AGL123

I have an 8k that I use for OTA. I have it hooked up to a Winegard HD7084P with an amp because my stations are both VHF and UHF and about 50 miles away.

I would first check to see if those stations that you are missing are in the VHF frequency range. (tvfool.com) I'm pretty sure that the 8 bay bow tie antennas only pick up channels in the UHF range.

Dont know if you tried this but in the DTV Scan Option you can toggle the MODE from UHF, VHF LOW and VHF HIGH scans by hitting the right button on your remote.
