In Reply to: Anyone using a HDTV tuner? posted by AbeCollins on April 24, 2003 at 17:30:04:
Abe,
I’m using a second generation HDTV tuner (Zenith HD-SAT520) and while this unit is significantly better in pulling in signals than the original units I find they are still quite sensitive. I am located equidistant from NY and Philadelphia (~30 miles) on a small mountain with no obstructions between either city. I started with a small roof mounted “HDTV” antenna and got very poor results. I switched to a “huge long yagi antenna” and found that I still needed a rotor to zero in on the transmitters. A deviation of only a few degrees will result in complete loss of the digital signal. Hope this is helpful.
Dan
