Bought a Samsung CRT HDTV today. Hooked it up and the CM 4221 is doing me proud. I get WRBL and WLTZ at full strength; WXTX is about 90% after I slightly moved the antenna orientation (I mounted in the attic with an amp). Nothing on 66, 28, or WTVM. Is WTVM sending out any digital signal right now? If not, will they be at full strength by the end of the year?

WTVM is sending out signal but right now theirs is the lowest. They are currently working on getting the transmitter moved up so it is higher. I would think you'd get it but maybe being in the attic is lowering it enough where it doesn't come in.

I tried manually tuning for 47. It paused for a moment and then came up no signal. That might be the case. WRBL comes in the absolute strongest of the three I'm getting. Does that mean WTVM should as well once they are up at full strength? Aren't 3 and 9 both on the new tower together?

For now WTVM is not increasing their power. They were already at what can be considered full power. They are only moving up to a higher position unless plans have changed. They are still on the temporary 300 foot tower. WRBL was on there but when they upgraded they moved to the new tall tower. WTVM is moving up higher on the old tall tower i believe.

Thanks for the info. If they are staying on the old tower just going higher at some point then I should get something. Must be a line of sight issue. I actually walked around in the yard with the antenna, and got no measurably better signal on the other channels outside vs in the attic. I get nothing digital on 66 though and it is very snowy on analog.

Yeah, with them just raising it up, it should help. Before WXTX increased power they just raised higher at first at it made a difference. 66 digital is coming out of opelika and is at low power. Only their analog in on the tower in cusseta.
