RECEPTION TIPS This section will hopefully provide extra information that may help improve and/or simplify your broadcast (off-air) reception of TV-28 KJLR and other area stations. Indoor Antennas If using an indoor antenna be sure to use one that has a "loop" or "bow-tie" style. The V-type, typically called rabbit ears, are good for VHF (channels 2-13); however, for UHF channels (channels 14-69) the addition of a "loop" or "bowtie" style antenna will greatly increase your reception. Amplified indoor antennas are sometimes a help; but, they generally allow you to move in two directions only (ex: forward/backward and left/right). A bowtie style antenna attached to your V-type rabbit ears will additionally move up/down (the vertical distance from your TV set). They are inexpensive at about $2.00 to $5.00. If you don't have a UHF antenna then we recommend one. Additionally, remember to adjust to your best reception of channel #28 prior to using the "auto programing" of the newer TV models. If you have this feature and set it prior to discovering TV-28 then you may need to reprogram. Set to channel 28 and then adjust antenna to assure the best setup. Then reprogram your set. Outdoor antennas Outdoor antennas are of little value unless they are pointed in the correct direction. We are transmitting our signal from Downtown Little Rock. Point your antenna towards the tall buildings in Downtown Little Rock. If you live in a home that still has a roof antenna then point them in the above direction and try it out. These older antennas were generally used to receive only one station each, and were primarily for VHF. But, sometimes even the older antennas are superior to an indoor antenna. If you are going to install one make sure you get one that receives UHF and is multi-channel (picks up all/most of the 14-69 UHF channels). We may be able to find some that have a high gain (pick-up more signal), but they will be in the $80 and up range. If you're serious about your reception then consider this expense and e-mail us for details. There are also amplifiers for outdoor antennas. However, this is an additional expense. But, what the heck, you'll be getting an additional channel at no monthly expense. Coaixal cable (round) is generally better over long distance runs vs. the flat cable. Cable Viewers If you have cable you can still tune into TV-28. In fact, about 70% of our e-mail is from cable viewers that find nothing to watch and tune to us. All the above tips apply; however, you may need an A/B switch to go back and forth from broadcast to cable. This allows an antenna input and cable input to be switched back and forth. If you have an extra VCR you can use this as an A/B switch. See the detailed diagram on how to set this up by clicking on this link. And as always, if this is not sufficient information then write us at our e-mail address. Apartments and Businesses with Antenna Systems If you live in, work for, or know of an apartment complex or a business (such as a hotel/motel) that has an internal antenna system in their complex, have the manager e-mail us for specific details to improve the reception. |
