Are others in Orange County having trouble tuning in to KTTV since the DTV switch?

I bought the DTV converter box and a DTV-specific antenna and am able to tune in to all other DTV channels listed in my area. I retuned my converter box on June 14, because I am aware that some stations changed their DTV broadcasting channels on June 12. Yet, no matter how I position my antenna, it won't come in.

Are others in the Orange County, CA, area having similar problems? Any idea what the cause might be?

    I Just heard on our local news (Boston) that a number of stations across the country that switched from "temporary digital channels" to "permanent" channels are having trouble and are back to "simulcasting" on their "temporary" channels. Do a re-scan to get these channels back.

    Don't know if it helps but I hope so..

    They should be on "RF" channel 11 (old vhf analog ch 11, need VHF capable antenna, UHF only probably won't work). They may be "simulcasting" on their pre-transition digital channel on "RF" channel 65 (old uhf analog ch 65, here you'd need a UHF capable antenna). Point your antenna north northwest (toward the El Monte and Annaheim area).

    some low ability stations are actually not likely to alter because of the fact that this could be a fox station i might wager it is not low ability. not one of the stations are to alter over till finally Feb despite the date is (i will nevertheless get each and all of the channels without the field). I actually have a converter field purely such as you i'm getting greater channels and their greater sparkling. I actually have a low ability channel that I watch often that would not are available in with the field. I had to purchase the field with analog pass by to get that channel without unplugging th e antenna everytime i decide directly to visual reveal unit it. in the experience that your has which you will turn the field off once you prefer to visual reveal unit that channel and purely watch it on the television . purely such as you many times might without the field.
