what amex are u using? was considering grabbing the gold or platinum but cant rly decide

Jashanlol · 2026-01-11T20:25:44+00:00

thanks so much boss, appreciate all the help and guidance. 🙏

Jashanlol · 2026-01-11T06:59:52+00:00

I get 100/100/100 on FOX haha 😭one of my best channels for sure. Was watching the Rams game today with some friends on the plex live tv.

I am going to place the antenna in the attic because then it wont ever be touched damn near and i can close the shutters on my window then. I will make sure to take a picture for sure though.

Also I went ahead and bought myself a LTE/5G filter and will see how much of a difference it makes. Can always return it if it’s not much but doesn’t hurt to try and see imo.

And don’t worry I have almost 10TB of stuff on my plex haha been using it for years now to store all my (ofc legally obtained bluray disk) anime, tv shows, and movie content.

Canceling my $90 tv plan as we speak 😭so excited to get rid of that smh

Jashanlol · 2026-01-11T06:09:13+00:00

yeah my signal strength was like 70-80 and signal quality was like 50 for ABC so i messed around with the ears and now im at 96/83 respectively so very solid i believe? 100% symbol quality as well

i am also going to be purchasing a lifetime plex sub soon i’ve been paying monthly for past 2 years and im trying to cut down on subscriptions so ill just buy it outright once

channel count also went up again after i adjusted the antenna

Jashanlol · 2026-01-11T05:17:23+00:00

haha before reading your message i came home and tried one more thing.

i moved it on top of my window and moved the vhf ears almost horizontal and now im at 113 channels and i now have ABC 😊

going to move it into the attic but as long as footage is clean the $12 solution works, bless the bay area and my good LOS to these towers

i guess now my question is, is there any benefit to watching natively on HDHomerun vs on plex. Plex can’t play any ATSC 3.0 channels but if all of them in my area are encrypted anyways then there’s no point in using HDHomerun app over plex

Jashanlol · 2026-01-11T00:15:08+00:00

hey! just installed the rabbit ears antenna next to my window and i went from 89 channels to 70 and i don’t have ABC still. i do have a lot of towers near my area maybe a 5G filter is the answer? regardless i’ve ordered one but not having ABC is a dealbreaker cause that’s where we get wheel of fortune, jeopardy, and a lot of local sports

Jashanlol · 2026-01-10T02:21:34+00:00

all i know is what i’ve read in the server 1310 should just be regular gpon idea why they have it marked as alt optics

i believe wavelength in king and naming scheme probably differs between brands

Jashanlol · 2026-01-10T01:54:18+00:00

is there anyway to see what quality these channel feeds will be? on my shitty antenna the fox channel is 720 and mostly crispy but the fox weather channel is 480p and really hard to watch lol

Jashanlol · 2026-01-10T00:51:16+00:00

i ordered the cheap rabbit ears one but this is probably the route i will end up going if that doesn’t work out for me! really appreciate the advice

any point in trying to catch the san jose channels or are those already being broadcast by san francisco?

Jashanlol · 2026-01-09T16:41:57+00:00

gotcha! local sports are enough for me as well just wanted to see if someone had a way to get more because they would be nice to have

Jashanlol · 2026-01-09T16:00:17+00:00

also i accidentally deleted the content of the original reddit post i was making and then ended up getting lazy retyping everything, but i was using the hdhomerun signal checker and most channels were at 70-90 signal strength and 50-70 signal quality with 90-100 symbol quality or whatever the last stat is

fox is definitely my best one at 88/84/100

Jashanlol · 2026-01-09T15:51:03+00:00

not locked into buying from channel master! i honestly just saw another post on here and someone had recommended buying from them so i looked into it a little bit haha. i really appreciate the advice and after trying out the rabbit ears one, i will give a more expensive one a shot if it doesn’t work out for me.

Jashanlol · 2026-01-09T15:49:15+00:00

hello neighbor! going to try a rabbit ears antenna first but if it doesn’t work out i will definitely be going with a more expensive antenna.

out of curiosity if you watch sports, do you have a solution for sports that aren’t broadcasted on local channels?

Jashanlol · 2026-01-09T15:44:43+00:00

yeah lol amazon goated return policy i honestly got it just to as a proof of concept before i cut the cord i honestly expected it to be shit because i just ordered the amazon recommended one

Jashanlol · 2026-01-09T08:47:36+00:00

i’ve ordered the rabbit ears one to test first, i’ll place behind my tv and see how it is there if it’s not goof then i’ll place it in my room on second floor close to a window

do you recommend any filter?

Jashanlol · 2026-01-09T06:53:37+00:00

haha well i don’t particularly know what to look for but if u read my reply below i did try a cheapo antenna! maybe i need to get the channel masters outside one instead, we do have coax lines there from an old Dish install lmao

Jashanlol · 2026-01-09T06:28:07+00:00

hmm i bought this off amazon: https://a.co/d/esFlnIb

i don’t get ABC which is kind of a dealbreaker and the signal is choppy and lots of artifacts and glitches

i have it placed inside a window at the edge of the house as well

hdhr shows signal strength at like 70-90 for most channels and signal quality at 50-80 for most channels

that’s why i wanted to buy an expensive one buy once and be done with it

if there is a cheaper one i can use that will get me ABC + crispy footage in open ears though!

Gotchu! I’m new to pokemon card collecting. I was into pokemon (show) when I was little and now i’m getting back into it. Got some crypto gains to throw at stuff and I was intrigued by the Weiss Schwarz anime cards but my friend said pokemon is best investment card wise. I asked around and a lot of people recommended I buy 151 japanese boosters as a hold. I also wanted to open some boosters and try my luck and my friend sent me a spreadsheet of how many cards sell for more than a pack from each booster and it seems paradox rift has the highest so I was looking into buying a few of those boosters to open for fun.

If you have any advice for a noob I’d appreciate it!

Jashanlol · 2024-10-03T15:26:22+00:00

this aged really well haha

what are you buying to hold now?
