At first I had trouble with WCIU, I found that when I place the antenna on my window for those channels, It comes
in fine. I have also found that using 26.1, 26.2 etc.. works better than going through 23 and 48, due to the higher power.

On WTTW, I never had a problem before today, I tried at about 7PM, and no signal, no matter how I adjusted the antenna.

I've kinda learned that the antenna has to be in a certain spot for channel 7, another for channel 2 or 26..etc.

Your post caught my eye though because channel 11 showed up "no signal" no matter what I did, and that has never
happened before.

Bob, can I ask what kind of antenna you are using? When I first hooked up the converter box I bought a cheap RCA
UHF/VHF antenna and it constantly scrambled on every channel, so I went and bought the more expensive model,
I believe it was about $39. It plugs in and has a booster to help pull in the signal, and it is a great improvement,
granted I still have to adjust or move the antenna for different channel's, but; once it is in the right spot, I am having
very little trouble getting a clear signal.
 
According to the WFMT Facebook site, there was a power outage that caused WFMT to be off the air this afternoon. I assume that probably also affected some other stations in the same location.

PERHAPS, DO YOU SUPPOSED THAT BOTH OF THESE STATIONS COULD BE GOING TO BE ON CABLE NETWORK ONLY?
