WINEGARD Antenna Problem / Complaint

Thanks for the responses.

I do get 30 UHF stations , even Charlotte 3.1 3.2 ( I am between Greenville and Spartanburg ) .. there are 3 stations here that I should get (4 - 7 - 13 ) and their .1 .2 etc secondary channels.

I did talk to the tower engineer at channel 7 ( WSPA ) in Spartanburg, and he felt the problem was ion the antenna, and that I should easily get the signal.

I am at a loss on it, since I cannot get sensible answers or direction from Winegard. I guess it is their lack of customer service that really offends me. They did say that the UHF circuit is different than the VHF circuit ... and the VHF side may have gone bad.

That is pretty vague and does not impress me if THEY cannot say it has ever happened before.

Thanks Again ... Richard

I plugged in a zip code of 29651 which is between Greenville and Spartanburg at antennapoint.com. Most of the TV stations in your area are less than 50 miles away. Channel 7 is only 16 miles away. You probably could stick a piece of wire into the antenna connector and receive several channels. Installing the Jack and getting vastly improved reception would indicate that you most likely have a bad Winegard antenna.

The facts are that your comparison is not a valid test.
