Antenna Recommendations

Thumbnail rabbitears.info

Hey folks. Looking for recommendations for an antenna and long coaxial cable for roof mounting. I will need about 60 feet of cable to reach my roofline. I will likely mount the antenna coming out from under the eave, but am open to other suggestions. I’ll link my rabbit ears. Any info would be appreciated. I have never mounted an antenna before, but am fairly handy.

Compact OTA outdoor recommendations?

2 Upvotes

I have a cheap paper thin indoor antenna that is actually pretty good, except, it's a toss up with reception on vhf (I knew it would be). I need to bring in Fox and ABC, which I do get but I have to keep fiddling with this cheap antenna. My aim is to mount it right under the soffit in front of my bedroom window, run the coax through the stucco, which already has a hole from a bolt that was recently removed. Towers are close enough that I have intermittent success with this cheap antenna but I want something more reliable. FYI: I have Cat.5 hurricane proof windows.

Comskip Tuning Questions

1 Upvotes

The information available directly on comskip.org and at the GitHub repo does not document all of the ini file options (or does not fully describe the options), the community forum is gone, there is no discussion area on GitHub, the developer has essentially discontinued the donator model and put all features into the free version... It just sort of appears that it's reached a point where there may not be a ton left to do and/or it just isn't a priority for the developer any longer.

With that said... does anyone have links to any reference material that are more detailed than any of the "stock" stuff as referred to above, or maybe knows of some good guides out there that get into the weeds of what the options actually do?

I'd like to make some minor tweaks to my ini file to shift the frame markers (I don't edit / cut the files) so that the section identified as a commercial starts a second or two later and ends a second or two earlier than what's currently being generated. I can find information that seems to be useful for if you are cutting the files and editing them, but the various bits of info I can find about things like padding or similar don't seem to be intended to do what I want.

Self-Promo Got tired of typing URLs on my TV browser so I made an app.

Typing anything into a TV browser with a remote is the worst. One typo and you're back at the start.
So if you’re searching for something using the browser it is always a bad experience. I wanted to do everything on my phone then send the final URL to my TV, So I built BeamTo. Here's how it works:

1 - Open beamto.xyz in the TV's browser. It shows a QR code.

2 - On your iPhone, share a link to BeamTo.

3 - Scan the QR code and the link opens on the TV.
That's it. Nothing to install on the TV, no account, no pairing. If the TV has a browser, it should work.
I'm a solo dev, so I'd really like to hear how it goes, especially if you try it on a slow or clunky TV browser. Let me know which ones work and which ones fight you. Android version is coming.
