I wrote this review..On Camping World
ANTENNA is 90 DEGREES OFF WITH WINGMAN!!!!!!! - June 19, 2009
by Karl (Huck) Fornof
I installed the wingman a few months ago and finaly got around to writing this review. I traveled across the US and then north testing it along the way. The one real problem that I have encountered is the fact that without the Wingman the batwing would pickup stations in two directions, north/south east/west. In other words, the antenna without the wingman will pickup two cities in opposite directions. But with the Wingman the antenna is 90 degrees off and only picks up the UHF stations off the side of the antenna. So, if you are a distance (40-50 miles or more) from the city with the transmitter you will not get the stations 2-13 with the wingman unless you turn the antenna back 90 degrtees and reprogram! Example: I am presently in Franklin, Pa. on the top of a hill. With the wingman I can only view TWO stations(UHF) out of Erie,Pa. and no VHF. And no stations from Pitts.,Pa. Without the Wingman I can get about Ten stations or more out of Erie,Pa. and Pittsburgh,Pa(opposite directions). so, in my opinion, it may be a good product if you are close to the City and you don't watch stations 2-13!
I hope this makes sence and helps someone.
AS far as your programing problems..
Every station scanning/ programable TV or VCR I have ever seen, I was able to manualy remove or add stations I want. It should be in your TV menu near the "auto program/scan for stations" place.
