I can't get one channel from the same tower as other channels with good signal

[thebigz]

Hi.  I can't manage to get KSTU (Fox).  It is on the same tower as lots of other stations that are coming in great.

Here is the map (zip code XXXXX):  https://www.fcc.gov/media/engineering/dtvmaps

As you can see, there are a lot of channels coming from Farnsworth peak - all, or at least most, I am getting well, but not KSTU (RF Channel 28).

It is really weird because with all of the exact same hardware, I used to get it, but on this install of windows, it isn't working.

Here are my logs, at least I hope these are the right logs.  If not, could someone please let me know which ones to upload?

Thank you so much for the help!

Edit:  problem solved - I was dumb and didn't have the right coax cable from the antenna to the tuner.  Deleted logs and edited zip code

Send the zipped logs from the settings web page.

I edited the original post with the zipped logs. Thanks!

Can you find it with WinTV and are you using a UHF antenna?

[thebigz]

I'll try it on wintv when I get home. I didn't think of that.

I don't see anywhere specifically saying my tuner is uhf, but I've got this channel before with this tuner and I'm getting the other ones off the tower that are UHF, so I assume it is.

Here is a link to my tuner: https://www.hauppauge.com/pages/webstore...ualhd.html

Once again, thank you so much for your time

When I checked your zip code https://www.rabbitears.info/s/1526850 I was surprised that you only had trouble with 28, there seemed to be a lot more missing that were marked good so thought maybe it was antenna related.

If you have a TV with a built in tuner I would try connecting your antenna to it an do a channel scan and see if you can get channel 28.

Keep in minde, you can sometimes get confusing results doing this - ie, a TV often has a much better TV tuner than you get in a small USB stick, so sometimes the TV will get it, but the USB tuner will not. Checking in WinTV is probably the best idea.

I don't have any other TV in the house, so I can't do that.

I also don't have my wintv activation code anymore. Is there a free program anywhere that I can download that will let me tune to a specific channel?

[mvallevand]

VLC with direct show can tune by frequency but it is too hard to explain. You can also see if one of sub's other programs picks it up https://www.capture4me.com/ it might be closer to WinTV If it doesn't there is a good bet that it is signal related. Finally, if you have Linux or even a RPii we can also see how that works.

Hauppauge also has a tool you can install https://www.hauppauge.com/pages/support/...nitor.html and you can use it to get the best signal from the tower, while watching a "good" channel. Then maybe rescan.
