We're using an antenna mounted in the attic, and KFOR Channel 4 in OKC has just stopped working on all TVs in the house. I get a WEAK SIGNAL/NO SIGNAL message. I disconnected one of the TV's and hooked it back up to a small indoor antenna and ran the channel set-up feature. Volia! KFOR Channel 4 comes in loud and clear using the little antenna. So do I need to crawl my old self up in the attic and fiddle with the big antenna that's up there in order to fix the issue or just switch to the little indoor antennas?

You might swap back to the other one and try it again. It may have been a temporary station glitch that was fixed while you were fiddling with stuff.

Worth a try anyway. :drunk2:

Tried it. No go.

Missing Mike Morgan's glitter tie already?

Har de Har. Nope; missing peace and quiet as wife is badgering the crap out of me to fix it.

Get this antenna, and thank me later. We have one of these and get channels where your not supposed to. I keep one in my shop for the TV there and one for the RV.
Many friends have thanked me.

I can attest to this. Took Hoddy's recommendation a few months ago and bought this, and it gave me my OKC channels back in Lawton.
What's the minimum height with this antenna that provided y'all with good results?

We're on high ground (about halfway between DFW and OKC), and lightning is a serious concern here (a CB antenna just above the roofline took a direct hit). We currently use a 16" or so loop of copper tubing about a foot below the ceiling, but we only get 7 channels (4 of KXII and 3 of KTEN).

Thanks. :drunk2:

I lost a TV over-the-air channel also and re-scanned the TV and it fixed the problem. Have you tried that yet?
