OTA reception Southington, CT

[MarcB]

Even though we have COX Cable at our house in Southington I bought a $10 indoor RCA Antenna at Walmart today. Mom and I live off of Route 10. Our TV is a 42 inch Vizio we bought in 2008.

3-1 WFSB (CBS)
3-3 Eyewitness News Now
3-4 WFSB Fairfield County

18-1 WUVN (Univision)
18-2 "WHTX" Springfield feed of WUVN
18-3 WUTH-CA (UniMas formerly TeleFututa)
18-4 LA-TV

20-1 WCCT (CW)
20-2 THIS-TV

24.1 WEDH (PBS)
24.2 CPTV4U (CPTV's secondary service)
24.3 CPTV Sports

30-1 WVIT (NBC)
30-2 COZI-TV

61-1 WTIC (FOX)
61-2 Antenna TV

Also if I held the antenna in my hand and stood on my head with one foot tied behind my back I was able to get a very staticy signal of analog Retro TV Channel 48 WRNT-LP.

No line of sight to Hamden, I'm guessing? You didn't mention receiving WTNH-TV (ABC) channel 8 [digital 10] or WCTX-TV (MY) channel 59 [digital 39] of New Haven. Are you sure that antenna is capable of receiving VHF frequencies?

 

[MarcB]

It says VHF and UHF on the box. BTW the antenna is going back to Walmart tomorrow. Mom doesn't want it.

Marc:

I can understand why you bought the antenna.

I suspect many of the digital "sub-channels" listed in your post do not appear on cable.

 

[KML0224]

With Comcast in New Britain, we get all of the subchannels MarcB listed except for the Univision feed for Springfield, MA.

A friends of mine lives in the next town north - Plainville. She gets all of the CT stations OTA by using an indoor antenna. You can see the 30, 61/20 towers from Norton Park.
