All free old OTA ATSC 1.0 TV subchannels legally gone in 2027. This FCC legal trick means no free money for New DRM 3.0 TV tuners legally needed to be paid for by the DRM 3.0 TV stations. OTA DRM encrypted ATSC 3.0 TV stations plan to steal all of the (Free OTA ATSC 1.0 subchannels) in one evil move by installing only (1 permanent forever Reverse ATSC 1.0 TV lighthouse transmitter antenna) to replace all old 1.0 TV stations in an area in 2027. People still can watch the free old OTA ATSC 1.0 TV without any subchannels and without needing a new expensive DRM 3.0 TV tuner box. This FCC legal trick says only one main Free channel and no subchannels are required by FCC rules. Your free OTA (over the air) USA TV subchannels birthright gone in 2027. The extra unused OTA DRM 3.0 TV bandwidth is now legally in the DRM 3.0 TV stations ownership and not in the USA people's ownership. IMO.

We are in a similar situation with panels but I'd love to just use my 16 bay and a rotor of some sort my signals I am grabbing across lake ontario so 70 miles no prob with a pre amp !!!!

Very nice video. I live not far from you. But I like the Packers games 😂 I was told that the cables that come from each antenna should be the same length to the mm. It is supposed to move signals at the same rate and not cancel each other out. Comments welcomed !

Great video! Before I moved homes, I had the same situation living between the Detroit, Lansing and Flint/Saginaw, MI markets and yes, rotors are a pain!

Go Pack Go

I still trust a rotor overall! This display has nearly 800 bucks with the antennas & Smartkom device. My Winegard antenna & RCA rotor with my old Antennacraft Preamp didnt cost me half of all this & I get channels 100 miles away in different directions!. BTW antennasdirect makes a combiner that works with seperate UHF/ VHF inputs! The VHF input will pass UHF channels so you can use a Uhf/Vhf combo antenna & UHF input only passes UHF So you have ability to have antennas pointed in different directions

You blacked out the location on your printed copy of the Rabbit Ears report but you left the "shareable link" visible, which shows your location. If you're really concerned about people knowing where you live then you might want to take this video down and maybe post an edited version.

DOES the channel master have a 180 degree field of view Guy ?? What is the signal strength when you use the TV ?? I like your logic about using the rotor Sir.

still working march 2024 ?... heard rumers on facebook stopped working nun refunddd

I have the same issue you do with getting two different stations on the same channel. But they come in good just when you change channels the station changes. This happens in two different directions. Crazy but it works on my XBR. Sir, would you benefit from Mr. Hop To It hoolahoop double antenna with reflector ?? Worth a try since the build is so simple and cheap, omni directional to... Check out his channel and be surprised and amazed too. Happy building GF.. vf 😀😀😀😀

Your neighbor's yard looked really good with the stripes

Ya need hdhomerun dont need all theses leads

Good video, and I have this model. It seems to be too weak to keep the connection between the sender and receiver if the signal must penetrate the walls of the house. My circuit breaker panel is in the back of the house, outside. The light on the receiver went out as soon as I left the house; as soon as I walked back into the house, it went back on. And the receiver makes no sound when I pass it over the circuit breaker.

Cheers from another Bears fan.

impressive video....

It shows a Rohn25 G tower in your video. Why aren’t you using it for additional height and gain? This would solve alot of problems.

The bowtie array and yagi are cool but what i keep looking at is the B type vent for the furnace or water heater without a cap on top !!! Doesn't that let rain right into whatever gas fired thing is on the other end???

Just curious how many of these are labeled as Tropo channels? I’m from Canada and I want to stabilize some channels that I can receive from Michigan that I receive almost 100miles away. Do you think this could help?

How does the signal compare to what you had with the built in preamp on the LR mix?

The one I got must be defective because I lost 3 channels with it. I can get those channels all day with a splitter as a combiner and an preamp. I know I had it connected right as I did get my closest channels.

Mine didn't come with instructions

How was the cost for all of it😊

Thank you for posting this video. It is better than the one put up by the Televes marketing wiesels. Your production value was just fine. Let the haters put up a better video themselves. You answered some questions I had. I am in Columbus Ohio so the transmitters are closer to me but I still see the value in the Smartkom. I only recommend Televes equipment when offering advice. I am a retired TV broadcast engineer and have only over-the-air tv service in my home because I am too cheap for "cable TV".

Back in the day, prior to the digital change, I used to live in Rockford. The antenna I had I was able to get the locals as well as Madison, some Milwaukee, and if things were just right a handful of the Chicago stations. May have to look into one of these setups as the small town I live in now kind of sits down in a valley and it is hard to pick up channels from 30 miles away, however I am still experimenting with antenna height, direction, etc. Thank you for posting this.

Consider: As you increase signal with any amplifier, you will also be amplifying noise.

EXCELLENT VIDEO!! THANK YOU!

What brand rotor did you have? I have seen rotors last for at least two decades. Smart individuals bought rotors that were designed for Ham radio use designed to handle some serious wing loads. HyGain (now owned by MFJ Enterprises) make decent rotors that will provide years of service. Parts are readily available and they do now have digital rotor controls Thant have memories that can be programmed for you our favorite directions.

Why not use Diseq switches and a selector box

I bought a televes amp and didn't get as many channels as with an RCA amp I already had. Televes cost 80 RCA cost 25. Lucky I got a full refund for the televes

Too wordy. Get to the point.

Sweet....

What is on the tower I saw in the video? I have had rotors go bad and I have seen some last longer than others. I never had the actual motor go bad. All I did was find one of the exact models on eBay and connected it and it worked.

Great video! WBBM has always been a pain, even in the old analog days.

that cool, in the 1990s I installed MATV systems, and that device replaces a rack full of equipment.

What's on top of that tower a Beamer ?

Thanks for the link to rabbitears website.

NEXTGEN-TV is the new 15 minute city model for OTA tv broadcasters. NEXTGEN-TV can do long range with fewer tv sub channels or more sub channels with higher resolution with shorter range. Local advertisers want local tv viewers not viewers that live far away. This means ( NO OTA NEXTGEN-TV for anyone that is not close to the 15 minute city or town ). Advertisers will be given your name and what tv shows you watch. Welcome to the book "1984" in 2023. TV Corporations are trying to take total control over everyone with OTA NEXTGEN-TV. Keep Longer Range, No Spyware, Old School OTA version 1.0 TV forever.

Bluetooth app works but is not easy to connect to the antenna selector until you understand app was poorly written. Just turn off antenna preamp at power unit and then back on. Play with app buttons until it works. Some buttons are hidden in plain sight so just press ( "connect" ) at top of screen. Good luck it does work. Bluetooth is located inside of power unit and automatically turns off after a short period of time and automatically turns back on if power is turned off and back on.

* NEXTGEN-TV is a failure if people outside of cities have no tv. * 35 MILES OUT = the new NO TV for you "NEAR DEEP FRINGE". * I currently get all ota DC 1.0 tv channels and nextgen-tv does not work at my location. * I own the first officially approved Nextgen-tv ADTH tuner box and I am only 35 miles from the DC nextgen-tv LIGHTHOUSE antenna on RF channel 33 located at Howard University in DC and I only get very short clips with 95 percent nothing. * I am on the new nextgen-tv NO TV FOR YOU fringe. * I have the best outside yagi directional antennas with built-in preamps with RG6 solid copper quad shielded coax cables that are pointed correctly at WHUT NEXTGEN-TV antenna. * Thank you for your time helping the people keep free ota TV.

Peavey! Wondering if the added wire to replace the burned trace is solid or strand? And is one preferred? Thanks again!

Thank you for the video. "Low production value"? I'm laughing because my videos are kind of off-the-cuff too. I actually got to beta test the Europeans SmartKom and then the Americas Edition. I'm currently using mine for testing different antennas. You'll see some of my videos coming up. Currently testing the Televes 108 381 8 bay. I have found the smartcom to be the Saving Grace dual Market similar to your setup your set up.

Wow, this is a great proof of performance for this setup. Thank you for sharing!

What speakers are those? ❤

why aren't you using the rohn tower that is connected to your house. It looks like it goes quite a bit higher than your roof and you would get more channels.

that's pretty awesome. the smartkomm is an absolutely amazing piece of technology. it made all the difference in my attic installation. I'm 30 miles from the towers, down a hill and through the forest. All the towers are out one side of my house, it just happens to have the chimney in the middle of it. I have one antenna in the far left corner to pick up ABC, and another antenna to the left of the chimney in the middle to pick up all the other UHF stations. Then, just because I had it, I added a fringe VHF antenna for PBS and the local NBC affiliate to the right of the chimney where all the trees start. Before, I was using a Televes pre-amp. The main line went to the Air TV, and the second line went to the TV itself. The Air TV split the signal two ways and would often pixelate. Now, with the Smartkomm, I am splitting the signal four ways and sending it to my TV, the AirTV, and a HDHomerunFlex4K (for ATSC 3), and the signal is almost always 100%. Nice video. I'm sure more peopel would find it very helpful!

Great video. This helps me with cutting the cord, all the major TV stations are 60 to 70 miles away. Thanks!

Good video. Thanks.

what happens when your circuit hasn't got power to it , how do you find out which circuit is on?????

I read the instructions but they didn't convey the simplicity of operation as you did. I got frustrated with multiple breakers beeping and just gave up. Was going to toss it, but now I'll keep it.

Thank you. I have owned one of these units for years, but never got it to work. I just tried my unit, following your instructions, and found it works as it should.
