Hey all! I am in desperate need of help. I am in Central Scottsdale in a 2nd story condo. I have had Cox whole-home DVR for years and have been super ready to cut the cord. I purchased a Roamio OTA and an indoor antenna. The TiVo is working fine but I get HORRIFIC reception inside. I maybe get 3TV and one other. I have moved the antenna all over, re-scanned 500 times and even purchased *4* different antennas including a Mohu 50. The Mohu is best but I can't reliably get more than 2 channels ever. I have put them on windows, walls and help them up everywhere...nada but broken horrible signals.
I am in a respectable range from South Mountain (18 miles) and have no clue what is causing this interference?!
I don't watch much TV and this OTA solution was going to be great, especially saving $90/month telling Cox to pound sand except for internet and alarm. I am thinking the OTA option is not going to work since I don't think any antenna will get me good signals and roof/attic mounting is not an option.
Even with the limited time I have used this TiVO with no signal I am hooked! So, what are my options? I have heard of the cable card route but what does that entail? Will I still be saving money a month not needing Cox's DVR? I know I have to pay for TiVo but I could go from 3 Cox boxes to 1 TiVo.
Can I just pay for basic cable and get the upgraded Roamio and plug it in to the wall? Will it take the basic channels 3-69(?) and work that way? That would be less than paying for digital cable and hassle of cable cards and is plenty of channels for me.
THANK YOU GREATLY in advance for any help/wisdom you can give. If anyone knows why I can't get a signal or can answer my other questions I would be ecstatic.
Respectfully,
Alex
