| 463350 | 2006-07-01 00:01:00 | Ok, I'll have to come clean, The coax cable im using came off a demolition job, It could be 20 years old for all I know, And Ive been hacking it to bits and joining it together for years with sticky tape. :lol: Gawd, I love it, love it ! What would I do for laughs without the WangVegas Wrestler??!! :rolleyes: |

| 463351 | 2006-07-01 02:25:00 | From a demolition it might be 50 ohm cable (from a Ethernet network), not 75 ohm. Not a good move for TV (especially UHF). If it's marked "RG58", it's 50 ohm. | Graham L (2) | ||
| 463352 | 2006-07-01 02:53:00 | Well.....it was hooked up to an antenna when I found it..... :D | Metla (12) | ||

| 463354 | 2006-07-01 08:17:00 | YeeeGads! Something is wrong, obviously. Tuning? Antenna direction? Your TV? (maybe try another one) Well, the antenna and booster can be returned if DSE, but before you do this talk to a professional installer to get the guff via a signal strength meter. |

| 463355 | 2006-07-01 08:39:00 | Nah, bit of a joke, drove past DSE, couldn't see a park so didn't stop. That screenie was taken after I rotated antenna.... |

| 463356 | 2006-07-01 08:46:00 | OK OK. Should've known! Was sitting here figuring you had the wrong frequency of Prime. So you are gonna try DSE when they open early tomorrow morning, right? BTW, do you get sound so that you know it is in fact Prime? |

| 463357 | 2006-07-01 10:26:00 | Now let me see - 70% of what I watch is only available on the internet, another 20% I get off the internet because I can't wait for NZ television to show it, and the other 10% is Sky Sport. Ok I watch the news occasionally but otherwise TV is dead. | Twelvevolts (5457) | ||
