Hello all and Happy Memorial Day weekend,

Little by little Doctor's Orders (2005 310 hull 299) is coming together. Working on trying to obtain TV reception from the mast mounted Shakesphere(?) antenna. Power light is illuminated on the "power in/power out" coax box installed in the foward port storage area. TV is a new HD model that works with a hand held passive digital atenna but only gets 3 channels. I am told by some dock mates that with their mast mounted antennas thay are abel to obtain 7 - 10 channels. Not super important and certainly not a safety issue but if it can be made to work properly I would like it to do so.

Any help is apprecaited.

Thanks in advance.

Jay

Wait for a clear day and do an auto channel scan. Make sure your TV is set to "air" and not "cable". I can get over 30 channels and am over 50 miles from a metro area (Jax, FL)
