Digital TV Tuning
So, this new over-the-air digital signal is supposed to be so good. I bought a new 37" Sharp Aquos and installed it where the 27" Sony was, replaced the VCR with a DVR, and bought a converter box for the bedroom analog TV. The problem is, when I put up the antenna and then program the digital TV, the DVR, or the analog w/converter, if I'm lucky I get 2 of the networks. Then, I move the antenna around and reprogram the TV (which takes a good 5 minutes) and Lo! I have the other 2 networks but not the ones I had before. Because the TV had to be reprogrammed, the other network signals were not strong enough to be picked up when the antenna was moved. I bought a Winegard Wingman which didn't help at all. I must admit, when I do get a signal it is really nice - high definition. I just can't handle reprogramming the TV when I want to watch a different network. Short of changing to satellite, is there any way to resolve this? If you don't move your house I guess OTA digital is great, but when you're on the road it is a pain, at least for me. Can anyone give me some sage advice?
