Resolved Question
Show me another »Has anyone in NYC using an antenna lost WABC 7.1 and WPIX 11.1 ever since June 12th?
I live in Jamaica, Queens and use an antenna for DTV. There is nothing wrong with my setup so please no one suggest that i have the wrong TV or antenna. I have been using this antenna for DTV since last year and my TV is a 1080p HDTV Samsung LED TV. I am still receiving CBS, NBC, FOX, and MY9 just fine but ABC and PIX (7.1 and 11.1 respectively) are not receiving. I have performed a channel scan every 6 hours on all antenna positions, which takes me an unbearable amount of time to do, but i still dont scan any channels at the 7.1 and 11.1 increment. They said the channel location may change, but again none of the other channels are the content of ABC or PIX. I did pick up an extra spanish channel, which would be fine if I was spanish; so I need to know if anyone else has had these issues here in the NYC area. Remember you must have no cable or satellite service in order to answer this question, unless you happen to have hear someone with and an antenna with these issues. Thanx guys and remember I already have the proper setup and I have BEEN receiving digital channels now for years since I went digital. Thanks so much for your input.

In the North Bronx (Wakefield), almost touching westchester county. Cannot pickup 7.1 or 11.1 or 13.1. I believe those three switched to VHF.

Apparently the signal is working correctly, but requires a New Digital "VHF"Antenna, which i'm not buying. Most channels are using the "UHF" signal which is why 2,4,5, and 9 are working. I will wait this out, hoping its a technical issue.

- HMMM interesting. Your assumption of the VHF may be the most relevant. My antenna says that it is a VHF/UHF Digital antenna so it possibly may be an amplification issue. Im still scanning and i raised the location of my antenna and rescanned and i still dont receive any extra channels. Thanx man.

- I've been having difficulty receiving channel 11. I think they accidentally decreased the signal output power. My other tv with an amplified antenna gets it, but the tv in my bedroom doesn't. It picked up the digital signal before yesterday. Channel 7 still works for me.
- I lost 11.1 which was fine before june12 but I still get 7.1. I'm in brooklyn ny but other than that i have almost exactly same experience as you. I even have a samsung tv. Have you gotten any answers?
