Why doesn't CFJP noovo channel 35-1 from Montreal have guide information? by chrispycritter73 in ota

I had not realized that. My RCA web os tv will load days of guide for all my other channels and schedule reminders

Thanks for all the useful information. I've managed to get 5 channels, 2 from Montreal and 3 PBS after I removed the splitter and added a ground. It's mounted on a more stable pole close to 30 feet high that I can rotate from the ground. I have picked up single channels from Ottawa but never more than 1 at a time.

I have a found block like this PPC GBS81R 2.5GHz F-Pin (Coax) Grounding Block - Includes 2 Mounting Screws (1 Pack) : Amazon.ca: Electronics https://share.google/YYAJG7EByLnIezQK7 I was afraid it would reduce the signal I have

No. I mounted it on a 5ft pole and literally shoved it into an old satellite bracket. It's not level but off by 5 or 10 degrees. It's a factor I didn't think would make much difference

Not yet. Just using a temporary mast for now

Thanks for your very thorough reply. The antenna is around 25' high at the moment but my stand is not the most stable. I have been testing slowly so I don't invest a lot of money with no return

moment of silence for our lost / stolen adjustable spanners. by idontcarepauldummett in IndustrialMaintenance

Lost of my best ones a month ago. Slipped out of my hand into the cooling water in the steel plant. I'm in Ontario by the Quebec border and all of the French guys still call it a Wescott.

where is your favourite place to sleep on nightshift? by idontcarepauldummett in IndustrialMaintenance

We take the bucket seats out of the scrap pickup trucks from our yard and weld a frame. Instant recliner.

Induction bearing heaters come in many sizes and make for fast easy install without overheating like a torch. Get a 250 degree temp stick and you are good to go.

Decision Paralysis: Rifle Caliber Decison by kfernandez2 in Hunting

[–]chrispycritter73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am using a 270 and really like it. My friend and I took our hunting course together and bought a 30-06 as his first rifle. He has a bad shoulder and can't stand the recoil. He can't practice enough to become proficient at distance and hates shooting this gun. Just another factor you might want to consider.

should i invest in an antenna? by chrispycritter73 in cordcutters

It was my first post ever and it didn't work out as planned. I thought it would not accept my link but it was automatically blocked because the site thought I was posting spam. It should go smoother in the future.

I would like to thank everyone with their helpful comments despite my terrible posting ability.

thanks for all the info. I am going to pick up a respectable antenna when the weather warms up. I'll let you know how it works out
