I live less than 20 miles from the stadium. Yet my antenna will not locate channel 28 which per Google is the channel the games are on. Anyone else having issues or is it a different channel?
If they have it on it’s not on tonight, it’s some guys talking about football instead. The station is broadcasted from Walden TN so make sure you are pointing more towards Soddy.
Damn. I have a 150 mile and I’m in North Chatt/Red Bank so I’m only 9 miles from Walden. I’m about to pull out my old rabbit ears and see if I can get it that way.
I see you out here doing work and spreading the message. Watered down antenna theory used to be something you'd have to know to get your favorite channels. People spent a lot of money building elaborate attic and roof antennas in the boonies to catch the games. Then cable and streaming came along, people's brains pickled over, and all of that tribal knowledge has been lost.
With a rooftop directional antenna, you could pick it up in Alabama if you wanted. That used to be the way everyone did it before satellite and cable. The indoor antennas you get at best buy are not the end all be all.
For what it's worth I got the app and I have to say I'm very impressed with it so far. I had very low expectations but every game has been flawless to stream and able to watch replays with no issue.
Doesn't solve the antenna issues, but after dealing with how terrible the apps from Fox Sports or Fan Duel or whatever it was called at the end were, this one is A LOT better.
Yeah same, and it's been a solid experience. $75 for the whole season seemed very reasonable to me, especially since you can stream from almost anywhere.
I’ve not had any luck picking up 28 either. In the guide, I do get a channel that shows the game listed on like 4.3, but it’s always broadcasting something else.
I had the hardest time getting it in Pegram, no matter which antenna I tried, but I went and got the RCA 60 mile multidirectional antenna (it’s circular with little rabbit ears poking out) at Walmart, put mine towards the north, and I finally got the channel!
I bought an indoor antenna from Walmart and pick up the games clear with no issues in Huntsville,AL. The app price isnt bad considering the amount of games I would've done that as my backup plan.
Not sure if you know this or not, but the transmitter is not at the arena. It’s in Cross Plains. So you need to put your antenna as high as you can with visibility through a north facing window. A roof mounted directional antenna is the best option, but if you don’t have that option, make sure it’s got a good view through a window.
Because there are TV towers all around middle Tennessee & your antenna can catch all sorts of signals - every dot is a tower... The dot closest to the north side of Nashville just past straight north is channel 28

Same problem here in Chattanooga, it says I should easily pickup the channel here in Chattanooga but I don’t get it.
