The TV is a Dynex 32".

When I called Best Buy for warranty information on the sound situation, they said they will send a tech out on July 3.

I am just worried that they will say that because I can get 3/4 audio on the networks, that the DVD is the problem or that since my TV antenna needs adjusting, it couldn't be anything wrong with the TV.

I have to wait for my son to come and raise my antenna up higher and tighten down the guy wires. The last storm kind of turned the head of the antenna so that's why I am not getting all the channels in.

Yes it is still under warranty until Aug.2.

And I think we are going to have to go up with the antenna because the trees around have grown up with leaves since we put the antenna up. But that is not a big deal except just getting the help to do it

I can get Fox and NBC clearly, no pixelating. But can't get ABC,CBS. Some pixelating on PBS and the UHS ?<=== EDIT: You mean "UHF"...That is the correct term... channels, 21, 17, 33 etc. I got them all before the storm and before the digital switch. So I am pretty sure that the reception issue is the antenna but I just don't know if that would have anything to do with the sound.

If the antenna were the problem, it wouldn't explain the DVD sound problem. True? So, just stand firm on the TV as being the problem, right?

He said it would be $100 for one type of antenna but I might need a different type of antenna and that would $150. So altogether, it would run between $100-150 to $350.00. Gasp!

He said I wasn't getting ch 8 and 11 because I need a new antenna.

When I asked him how come I was getting those channels before the storm, he said that was before they started moving the signals around and my antenna is only receiving the UHF channels.

If I could post a picture on here, I could show you the map which I already printed out a few days ago from antennaweb.com. It shows both A (4.1,5.1,8.1,11.1,13.1,21.1,23.1,40.1,52.1) and B (2.1,27.1,33.1,49.1,68.1) in a V back to my location.

How would I know if I have a blue antenna?

TV reception is determined by the size and type of antenna and the direction in which it is pointed. To determine the right antenna, use the color coded Antenna Type to select the channels that you wish to view. Antenna types are color coded according to the size and type of antenna needed for reception. The list is arranged in order of ease of reception, with the stations requiring the smallest multidirectional antenna at the top, to those requiring the largest directional antennas at the bottom.

And a little Mexican guy said $80 but he wanted to do it right that moment at 7 pm at night and the only equipment he had was a 6 ft step ladder and a chain saw that extended out about 6 ft.

Thanks, Ron. I am going to Home Depot tomorrow where my son bought this antenna and see if it is described the same as what the antennaweb site recommends..

No, I didn't have the guy come out and look at the antenna because I figured he would charge me a service call and when he gave me the estimate of $100- to $350, I just ended my conversation with him.

The blue is an antenna specified as "medium directional w/pre-amp"

under the channels there is a little UHF. If you click on that, you get the description of the area of what the blue antenna covers which actually covers more than just the blue section.

It is pretty interesting how they did that.

There was no mention on the box about a pre-amp which the lady said is probably a booster.

She said if I was getting all the channels before, I should be able to get them now unless the cable came loose etc. But if that were the case, I wouldn't be getting any channels at all.

The box says that they pull in digital signals up to 20 miles.

I doubt they changed the directions of their transmissions that much.
