The "Definitive" movie channel.

Watched Cool Hand Luke the other day and True Grit today.

Oddly enough, my Trek antenna works best with one prong straight up and the other two angled back.

I have a pretty high entertainment center(over five feet) and it just sits on top of that, facing the bay window.

My reception use to stop at 58.3, but now it goes to 58.8

The new movie channel(M!) is 58.8, and it looks like they like to run their “Definitive” movies on Saturday night.

Also, a lot of the channels(Justice Network, Court TV, MeTV, M!) have their TV schedules on line.

WOW! That’s pretty accurate. I punched in my zip code and up came the tv guide for my channels.

I get 21 of these channels. Don’t get 21.1 to 21.5 and don’t get 29.1 to 29.4

I don’t really have anywhere to hang a flat one outside plus......weather. The metal alien one is perfect for here. Reception inside the boat has always been difficult.

I think the alien one for the boat is cool. If it's not broke, don't fix it. I pretty much killed my alien moving it around...broke one antenna..etc etc.

Wonder if my kids have a TV for their boat. That might be a good Christmas present. They're in Cape Cod.

Sounds good. I used my digital TV to check my signal strength. Finally found a spot and direction that had 70+ for most of the channels. I had 7 inch “Vs” and about 8 or 9 inch circles, alternating both sides. I also found out if some were facing different directions, or bent over my signal strength would increase for some channels. That was about as close to omnidirectional as I could get, unless I could get the wife on the roof to change directions when I changed channels. :)
