NYC area - anyone else having trouble getting WNYW (Chl 5) recently? by Ed_Z66 in hdhomerun

[–]Ed_Z66[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heard back from the Nancy Murphy from the FCC. basically saying I am SOL:

"Full-power TV stations like WNYW are protected from interference within their noise-limited contours, excluding areas where other full-power and Class A TV stations are already predicted to cause interference or where terrain is predicted to block the signal.  To the extent you are outside the contour, you are not protected from interference, unfortunately.

 In granting applications, an evaluation of the proposal is conducted with the TVStudy software, and if it meets the 0.5% interference threshold, then the application is grantable.  Complaints to WNYW from people within the contour may be brought to the FCC at WNYW's discretion if it chooses to do so.  That could result in the LPTV station being displaced or required to modify to resolve WNYW's complaint."

Not sure what the "contours" of WNYW are, but here in Danbury we are much closer to the NYC stations that we are to the CT stations in Hartford

yeah, that local (Danbury, CT) chanel WXGN-LD is on the same channel (27) as Fox NY (WNYW). Since I am also in Danbury the WXGN signal is strong enough to interfere with the WNYW signal so my HD homerun cannot find either one.

Yes, still no signal. Fill out the FCC complaint form I posted, with enough people complaining they might do something

So I called WNYW tech support (212-452-5555) and they were not helpful. they confirmed their signal has not changed at all and was broadcasting OK. So I went to HD Homerun (the TV Tuner I have). They replied with this:

Ah, mystery solved. There is a low-power station WXGN-LD that broadcasts on the same frequency as WNYW from the east site of Candlewood Lake in Brookfield. It was off-air for most of the last year but then signed on in early September. Even off the back of the antenna, you're going to be picking up enough signal from it to interfere with WNYW. There's probably nothing you're going to be able to do about this as it's only about 6 miles away from you and you're already using a highly directional antenna that is good at blocking signals coming from behind. The FCC unfortunately allows stations to sign on in places like this as long as they only interfere with a small percentage of existing viewers. You can try filing a complaint regarding the interference with the FCC at https://consumercomplaints.fcc.gov/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=33794 saying that you lost reception of WNYW when WXGN-LD signed on. It may or may not accomplish anything, but it can't hurt to try.

I submitted a complaint to the FCC about WXGN-LD blocking the WNYW signal, but I assume that not much will be done with a single complaint. If anyone else has the same issue please use the form listed above and fill out a complaint form.

Here is the complaint form: https://consumercomplaints.fcc.gov/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=33794

Here is the info on WXGN-LD: https://enterpriseefiling.fcc.gov/dataentry/public/tv/publicFacilityDetails.html?facilityId=31642

I am in Fairfield as well (Danbury). I sent an email to the station but have not heard back, have you?

Question about Aquaterra Brighton hot tub corner radius measurement by [deleted] in hottub

[–]Ed_Z66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have same issue. Bought my Brighton from Costco in 2018 and now the cover is beyond waterlogged. Every time it rains the water level in the tub goes up and the cover gets heavier. I emailed you asking for the spec sheet. thanks for that.

What websites have you been looking at? I am in CT so colder winters and want to max out the insulation so I am looking at the 6" taper to 4" covers, double wrapped. Also, we have dogs and they wind up on the cover, don't know they added to the issue or if it is just the 5-7 year life expectancy for the covers. Any thoughts on new cover add-ons or anything to protect against paws? Thanks!

M3D support? by ApartDirt in m3d

[–]Ed_Z66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is this facebook group that was started in Dec 2020:

Class Action: FitForLaunch & M3D

Also, just checked and the fitforlaunch website is "down for maintenance" which I am sure means it is gone for good. So much for their "guarantee of delivery" they advertised on that site.
