I've gone through 4 antennas now and I'm having difficulty getting it to lock on to anything. The antennas in question:
- Radio shack generic passive (indoor) - 0
- GE 34134 50 mile active (indoor) - 0
- Best Buy generic 50 mile active (indoor) - 7*
- Antennas Direct 1Max passive (outdoor, mounted to roof) - 0
I realize that there is an art behind antenna placement and aiming. But with the exact same Best Buy antenna, in the exact same location, with the exact same coax cable, plugged into the amp and strait into my LG G1, I'm able to get 66 regular ATSC 1.0 channels successfully (plus 11 nextgens, although that's irrelevant here). The quality is excellent on most of them with little to no buffering. I've read this thread: viewtopic.php?t=78721 and fully understand the "don't expect miracles" between hdhomerun vs internal tuner part. But this seems like an awfully large disparity between 66 good channels vs 7 flakey ones.
I've attempted just about every combination of the antenna list with and without the amplifier, swapping with multiple other rg6 cables. Is there anything else I can try before I give up on the hdhomerun?
Edit: I've enabled "send diagnostic information" and done a channel scan in case it helps any. Device ID: 106B2316
