Re: HD TV antenna?
OK....on my 405, I found the antenna amplifier and the OEM antenna with the light on. I switched the antenna switch over to the OEM side and ran a channel search on my new Samsung smart TV. I only found two channels using the old system, I have 28 using my dock mounted hi def system. Any suggestions? Maybe a Shakespeare system on the radar arch?
Thanks

Re: HD TV antenna?
I wonder if that amp is any good, even if the light is on.
What is your "dock mounted hi def system"? If it is an antenna and there is no amp on that system, then I'd take the input to the amp (which should/would come from the antenna) and jumper it straight to the input of one of the TVs, and rescan. If you pick up more channels, then I'd probably replace the amp.
