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!

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.
