I am in West Bend, have a Directv installed winegard gs1000. I get 4 and 12 great, only analog 6, but nothing for 58. I know 6 has issues, but people seem to get 58. Any suggestions?

I'm in Franklin and can't get 58 or 6. We called DirecTv and got a waiver from CBS so we can get CBSHD on channels 80 & 81. We do pay extra for it, though.

And we pay extra for local channels, and extra for the HD package, and extra for Sunday Ticket and we still couldn't watch the Lions/Bears in HD on Sunday :mad: I'm sure we won't get to see the Packers in HD this Sunday either. Sorry, I think that's being covered in another thread.

I live in West Bend and I get all the stations. My antenna is 35 feet high. I have a big antenna on it with a pre/amp. I am down low in West Bend. I live off of indania.

I think that you won't have much luck with the silver sensor in west Bend. It is pretty far away, plus most of west bend is low.

I'm at a high point in West Bend, near Cabrini. No problem with 6 or 58 digital. I have a roof antenna and a Mits with a Promise Module. What is your elevation?

I am right behind Blockbuster on Lincoln Dr.

Comet,

If you have a way to install outside, I'd recommend a large long-range antenna. The Winegard HD8200P or something similar. Get it up as high as you can.

I am right down the street from you comet. I am on Riverview dr. I have the 7200 wingard I think. If you want you can stop over and take a look at what I am using. You are a little higher than me. Just let me know and I will give you my address.

I've got a 8 bowtie channelmaster on a 10' mast and get everything, but CBS 58 is pixelated quite often. I'm just north of HWY 33 on HWY G. I've tried a few different antennas and can't seem to pull in CBS. Fox on the otherhand comes in no problem.

Just an update, I was just checking 58-1 tonight and it come in crystal clear. I did nothing with my antenna that directv installed. ANybody know why I get it so clear. Maybe because the season premiers are on? Needless to say, I'm very happy. Now if Fox could magically appear!

I spoke too soon. As fast as the crystal clear signal came it went. I am back to nothing for CBS!
