No UHF

[bobrusnak]

I live about 20 mi. west of the Cleveland, OH tv towers (zip 44035). I installed a Terk HDTVo on my roof (about 25' hi). Coax length about 50' w/ the supplied signal booster. I can get the two VHF channels just fine, but cannot receive any UHF channels.

I'll bet that your TV set is set up incorrectly: Do you have a digital TV tuner installed in the TV, or are you using a converter? If your set has a disital tuner, you need to go into the menu on the TV set, change the setting from CABLE to ANTENNA or AIR, and have the tuner rescan for channels.

I have a 42" LCD Sony Bravia HDTV. I did re-scam after I got a compass and tweaked the direction. Still cannot receive the UHF.
I can receive a Toledo station (the opposite direction of where the antenna is aimed).
I'm not sure if I understand your answer, since I had to scan to get the VHF stations.

Go into the menu on your TV: there will be a choice of " Antenna/Air" or "Cable" The TV comes from the factory defaulted to "Cable", which will not allow the TV to see UHF stations: when you change the setting to "Antenna/Air", the TV will then tune the OTA UHF channels. Cable TV channels above channel 13 and OTA UHF channels above channel 13 are different frequencies.

That worked, thanks for your help

I had a feeling that it would: congratulations!
