[…]operated by Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T, or other carriers in the United States. You may want to find the closest cell towers operated by a particular carrier if you are looking to switch cell phone service, or if you’re considering wireless home Internet service, or if you already have wireless home Internet and you want to optimize the placement of your gateway. About Cellmapper Cellmapper.net is the tool that I recommend to find cell towers near you. It uses crowd-sourced data to generate a map showing cell signal strength and tower locations. Anyone with an Android phone can get the Cellmapper […]
[…]freezes up, try unplugging the antenna and powering it on again, especially if you live in the Los Angeles area. Also, I want to make a shout-out to Santa Monica TV Repair for their knowledge and honesty. They could have charged me $100 to come out and “fix” my TV! – […]
[…]Went Away Sometimes TV stations go away completely. This happened to a few stations here in Los Angeles, where the FCC allowed TV stations to auction off their spectrum to wireless providers. Usually, these are higher-numbered not-as popular stations as opposed to the major networks. Google the station’s call letters to see if you can find out what happened. Unfortunately, there’s not much you can do about this. 6. Your Antenna Moved – Try Re-Orienting It From my testing, I’ve found that even a small change in antenna position or angle can have a big impact on your reception. Try […]
[…]in one of these valleys, your reception will be poor. Next, let’s take a look at my home town of Los Angeles, CA, which lies in the basin between some fairly large mountains and a really crazy pattern: You can clearly see that the signal is pretty much stopped in its tracks to the north, where the mountains are. Also, you can see purple “shadows” where the smaller mountains are blocking the signal. Interestingly, there is a “shadow” just to the south of the transmitter where the mountain itself blocking the signal. In that area, the people live only a few miles […]
[…]still recommending the best ones. After all, what worked well in Providence might not work well in Los Angeles, right? The Antennas So, here’s what I’m calling the “great antenna shootout”. I’ve taken a representative selection of different types of indoor TV antennas and tested them in my condo. These are the ones I tested: These represent some of the most popular types of antennas from some of the leading antenna manufacturers. All are non-powered. Which was the best? My Testing Method In the past, I’ve taken a very clinical approach to testing, simply doing channel scans and recording the number […]
[…]of other channels, including my local CBS and NBC stations. What happened?? Well, I went on the Station Finder and noticed that my local CBS station, KCBS normally on channel 2.1 on my TV, had moved and had an RF channel of 34. Well, I know that modern TVs have the ability to map a channel’s physical RF channel to a different tuner channel on your TV to make it so the channel number you know and love never changes, even if the physical frequency changes. So, theoretically, I should have been able to see KCBS on channel 2.1, but […]
[…]Create Cooking and crafts 58.4 KLCS4 Local Broadcast TV stations in Santa Monica (near Los Angeles, CA) For more details on my personal indoor TV antenna setup (which antennas I use, and where I put them), see this article. How many channels can you get in your area? Please comment below – […]
[…]my Mohu Leaf (with RG-6 cable, not the included cable!). I checked the signal strength of my local Los Angeles ABC station, channel 7.1, because it is a Hi-VHF station which is sometimes tricky to pick up. On my signal strength meter, my Mohu Leaf registered 4 purple dots of strength, while the Antop HD Smart Bar got 5-6 dots, indicating a stronger signal. So far so good for the HD Smart Bar! Next, I did a channel scan with each antenna. The HD Smart Bar picked up 103 channels while the Leaf got 114 channels. While this seems like […]
[…]that setup should work for everyday web browsing. But, that means your Gateway is unnecessarily transmitting a Wi-Fi signal. It’s best to turn off Wi-Fi on your cube by accessing the Gateway at //192.168.0.1 and turning off both 5GHz and 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi. I actually used my cube for months like this and it was fine for regular web browsing. Passthrough Mode The ideal way to use your own router with the Verizon 5G gateway, however, is to put the gateway into Passthrough mode because it offers maximum compatibility with various ways to use your router (due to avoiding the “double […]
[…]or simply type in “documentaries” in the YouTube search bar. There is also a dedicated YouTube channel for the History Channel, which has some cool full episodes. Discovery Channel also has a YouTube channel, but it’s mostly clips. For full Discovery Channel episodes, just search for the name of the show. I love the old Discovery Channel “Wings” documentaries and there are tons of full episodes available on YouTube! There are many other military documentaries to choose from. Fan Commentary Whatever your interest, you’ll find someone with a YouTube channel willing to talk about it. For me, that’s Star Wars […]
[…]foreign language, etc. It found all of the major networks and major local channels in my area (Los Angeles). So, the tuner quality was more than sufficient for me. Picture Quality and Channel Surfing I was surprised that such a cheap unit could have such good picture quality. It was basically indistinguishable from my Sony TV’s picture quality! HD channels looked crisp and colorful. The unit was also pretty quick when changing channels. Time to change channels was about the same as my Sony. The Weak Link: The Remote Control The one annoying thing I noticed was that you have […]
[…]of the tuner. So, I did a scan using my very good Sony TV tuner and got 117 channels here in Los Angeles. I scanned with the Recast and got 116 channels! That’s pretty much within the margin of error of being the same as my Sony. So, the Recast tuner is good! The picture quality of the Recast is excellent. Hard to distinguish it from the picture when I run the antenna straight into my TV. The User Interface The Recast requires an Amazon Fire TV device to watch recordings on your TV. So, I started up my Amazon […]
[…]per month! 1. Free Broadcast TV Using an Antenna I live close enough to the TV transmitters in Los Angeles to get all of the major networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, CW), local stations, and public stations (PBS and more) for free. Many of these are HD with better picture quality than cable or satellite TV delivers! Here’s the complete list of channels I watch on free broadcast TV. It took a lot of experimentation with antenna position to get all of the networks and local channels. I have flat antennas in two locations now: one in my skylight on […]
[…]it with RG6 cable. See links on this page. I’ve lost a channel that I used to get or I lose channels at certain times of day This could be caused by a variety of reasons. See this article for some possibilities: There is static in the picture If you are seeing snow or static type of interference, it’s probably not a digital signal. That’s probably an analog signal. When you are getting a weak digital signal, the distortion looks blocky and the picture and sound will cut in and out. There is no snow or static. Go to the previous item and make […]
[…]it wasn’t able to pick up channel 13.4 KCOP Heroes and Icons, a Hi-VHF channel in my market (Los Angeles), while the other tuners had no problem with this channel. Now, it is possible that Tablo has improved its tuner, as I purchased mine in 2018. Customer Service After owning my first (previous-generation) Tablo for over a month, I powered it down to do some tests and when I powered back up, I was unable to connect to it by Wi-Fi. I emailed Tablo support and got a response within 24 hours, but still was not able to connect. They […]
[…]is running, then switch back to antenna. Compare your TV reception to the first run. If there is a channel you lost after you plugged in your Stick, unplug it (or put it in sleep mode) and verify the channel comes back. If it does, there’s a good chance your Fire TV Stick is causing interference. Three Solutions If you’ve confirmed that your Fire TV Stick is indeed causing interference with your TV reception, there are three solutions that folks have confirmed to solve the problem (other than just not using your Stick). 1. Wrap It In Foil Multiple sources […]
[…]Monica, California, about 27 miles away from the TV transmitters on Mt. Wilson. Even though the Station Finder reports many green (strong) stations, my signals are not that strong inside my condo because the windows face the wrong direction. My TV I have only one TV in my condo. It’s a ten-year old 46″ Sony LCD with built-in digital tuner in my living room. Nothing unusual here. My Antenna After testing many indoor TV antennas, the Mohu Leaf has prevailed year after year in my tests as the best overall indoor TV antenna. My Antenna Location Over the course of […]
[…]a big fan of the Mohu Leaf flat indoor antenna. It gives me over one hundred channels here in Los Angeles. One day, reader Philip asked me what was inside the Mohu Leaf antenna. Hmmm, good question! From all of my antenna testing, I happened to have an old Mohu Leaf Plus. This is an older amplified version of the Mohu Leaf. It’s ideal for a tear down because it was made of laminated paper instead of all plastic like they are now. The Tear Down The first thing I did was disassemble the module that attaches the cable to […]
[…]the museum is free. Most have a free day of the week or month. Check out my favorite museums in Los Angeles. 29. Do some gardening You’ll get some exercise, your garden will look better, and your plants will appreciate it. 30. Detail your car like you did with your first car Remember how psyched you were when you got your first car, no matter how old it was? When was the last time you vacuumed the inside and waxed the outside? You’ll feel great when you’re done! BONUS: Give a massage (and get one back in return) This […]
