Anybody in the Lafayette area having issues with your HD Antenna? Mine have been working fine until the last couple days. I’ve lost CBS and ABC on all my TVs and we never had any issues finding them through the scan. I’m also in Youngsville.

No problem here, right in the middle of town. But I do have mine up a good ways, pointed to BR, I get, 2, 3,7,10,14,15,19,24,32,33,44, and 50 (and all the secondary channels, except 7 which is only doing 7.1 understandably).

Thanks Chuck,
I previously had it pointed towards Lafayette and I guess Laura moved it some but it still worked. I directed it to BR and it’s picking up CBS with no issues.

10 is probably the worst station in Lafayette since its lower power and still on VHF (the "panel" antennas don't work well with it). The little yagi I have is mounted up my tower about 25 feet, right above the roof. I've got it running into a distribution amp under the eave of the house, so it works pretty well. 3 and 10 are out in Rayne, 15 is in Churchpoint and 50/32 is off of Wilderness trail in Carencro, so the locals are scattered all over the place. Thats the reason I pointed to BR. Amazingly I get 7 off the back side of the yagi and 2, 33 and 44 out of BR. 9 is like 10, low power VHF, so its out of the question.

Occasionally I can rescan and catch 5 out of Alexandra, but its not consistent. When the UHF ducting kicks in, I can catch a crap ton out of New Orleans, but it doesn't last.

CBS is the hardest to catch and ABC is the easiest

You need your antenna be be 10+ feet in the air
