So, with the move away from analog to digital ... it has caused me to lose FOX. Surely, you understand why this is an issue. The Packers play most of their games on FOX.

I'm able to get ABC, CBS, PBS, CW, NBC and MyTV in great quality. Once I flip to FOX, BLANK.

I have tried three antenna's, and a HD antenna and still, no FOX.

Is there something special with FOX that I'm missing here? It's kind of pissing me off. My main tv is able to pull FOX in through its HD Tuner, but none of the other tv's in the house can.

No, I did not do a re-scan. The FOX channel is selectable, but does not have enough signal strength to be displayed.



FOX [||||||                ]

NBC [|||||||||             ]

NBC, comes in PERFECT.
FOX, nothing at all.

The signal strength difference is not that much, but that's the joy of Digital TV, its either you HAVE it or you don't.

Call up FOX and get them to help you out. I'm sure they'd love to have more eyeballs on their shows so they should (ideally) be willing and able to help you sort out the problem. Maybe you could use some sort of device to improve the gain on the signal strength, that's my first thought.

I'm going to have to hit that route. I was just thinking of ways to kill some costs and paying the cable bill is a waste since I don't watch a lot of TV, and absolutely nothing on cable. The only channel I need cable for is FOX. Which I cancel during the off season cuz I only need it for the games 🙂

I'm not sure what happened to FOX, but out here in Missoula when the switch was made, the Fox station here simply went off the air. Finally, in Mid July some other company picked up the feeds and we get it fine now, but we are on Dish Network.

Someone around here said that several of the Fox affiliates simply did not have the $$ or backing to make the switch and just said si-a-nora!

Anyone for a Weenie Roast?

I spoke with a co-worker and he said he gets FOX just fine. He lives in De Pere which is just south of Green Bay. I live in Howard, which is just north. I'm wondering if the main tower is in Appleton (30 miles or so) south of Green Bay and my antenna is not strong enough.

I just dunno. I'm going to have to contact the local FOX (WLUK) and find out what the dealio is. I'm not wanting to pay cable anymore for basically, local channels.

Not sure if they even make these, but you might be able to get an HD antenna with an amplifier. Granted, I have barely touched a TV since the HD switchover but your main TV with the built-in HD tuner/antenna may be amplified while your other antennae are not.

Just a thought.

I tried with my HD antenna which has a (allegedly) a amp boost.

I might invest in one of these.

Mucky Tundra (31-May) : @AndyHermanNFL Sean Rhyan getting some reps at center in walkthroughs. They are rotating guys everywhere.

Mucky Tundra (31-May) : or that might have been an individual drill thing

Mucky Tundra (31-May) : that was from the 29th but I've seen other combs (including Rhyan@C)

Mucky Tundra (31-May) : @ByRyanWood Without Elgton Jenkins and Zach Tom, #Packers starting OL: Rasheed Walker, Jordan Morgan, Josh Myers, Sean Rhyan, Andre Dillard.

Martha Careful (31-May) : I have never seen an OTA, but who is lining up at LT and RG with starters? or is it all individual drills?

Zero2Cool (30-May) : Bears are the first team to be selected for Hard Knocks

dfosterf (29-May) : Andy Herman and his Pack a day podcast put up GB strengths yesterday. This morning he did weaknesses. They are both very good.

Zero2Cool (25-May) : Yes.

beast (24-May) : Does he say what it is?

Zero2Cool (22-May) : Christian Watson believes he has discovered the root cause his soft-tissue leg injuries

Zero2Cool (22-May) : Savage played last half of season with tear in rotator cuff

Zero2Cool (22-May) : SISSIES!!!!

Mucky Tundra (22-May) : Sounds like both Kraft and Tom were injuried before OTAs began

buckeyepackfan (22-May) : Not serious but waiting for strength and conditioning coach referwnces.

buckeyepackfan (22-May) : Tom and Kraft both injured(pectoral muscle),

Zero2Cool (20-May) : I feel similar about person and product/service.

beast (17-May) : Not sure why a players views reflect on GB... instead of simply on the player

Martha Careful (17-May) : I bet some of us have had 6+ mRNA jabs, a UKR flag on our walls, and still think Fauci has a thread of integrity

Zero2Cool (16-May) : From what I've read, it's all Jets , not us.

CanPackFan (16-May) : Will there ever be a time when Rodgers' whacko views will not reflect on GB? He is the past, thank god.

Zero2Cool (16-May) : Jan 4th gonna be rough with that start time lol

Zero2Cool (16-May) : Packers schedule listed. Boom.

buckeyepackfan (15-May) : Let the leaks begin. Colts @ Packers week 2, Vikings @ Packers week 4

Zero2Cool (14-May) : WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling to Bills

Zero2Cool (14-May) : Jets and Aaron Rodgers open up on Monday Night Football,

Zero2Cool (13-May) : $170 guaranteed. This might impact Jordan Love

Zero2Cool (13-May) : Lions are signing QB Jared Goff to a four-year, $212 million extension

Zero2Cool (13-May) : I know we moved on. That tidbit just makes me a touch happier.

Zero2Cool (13-May) : Sources spoke of many, many times last summer where Hackett called a play, then Rodgers changed it completely at the line

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : And the OL protections seem to be good.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : I really don't know lol. I don't see him getting blown up.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : -3 buwahhhahaaha

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : 4th

Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.
