The big game is coming up tomorrow morning, OU vs. Miami. I decided to get an HDTV this past spring an antenna.
I get the analog abc channel but the HDTV, DT, version doesn’t not show up.

I would go to the AntennaWeb site and get the exact azimuth angle for your location and double check your alignment…

Also, have you tried rescanning the digital signals on your TV?

Yea I am pretty sure it is pointed in the right direction. I tried rescanning and I have one hdtv that can just sit on the channel till it pics up.

Is the KOCO-DT UHF??? If so I know why Im not getting it. My HDTV’s, a Aquos 1080p, and Mitsu 1080p both can’t get UHF signals below 12.
Any tuner I could go buy local quick?

KOCO is VHF. You’ll need a VHF antenna to pick up their signal.
However, they must take classes in stupid at that station. The Michigan-Oregon game is available in HD but KOCO is broadcasting it in standard def.
That, along with the Cox debacle, has me about ready to tell KOCO to jump off a bridge.

Is anyone getting an OTA HD signal from KOCO? I contacted the RF Engineer at KOCO and he informed me to tune to 7.1 or 7.3 for a signal. It is a VHF broadcast. I tried and had no success. I called Best Buy to see if might be the new TV or amplified OTA antenna I just purchased. They tried hooking up an OTA antenna to three different TV models to receive KOCO HD and were unsuccessful.

Sooner Al,
Do you mind me asking what make of HDTV and antenna you are using? Also, does your HDTV have a built in tuner or are you using a box? If I do not get this resolved by OU/TEX I will go ballistic.

OK guys,
I got it!!
I had to go buy another antenna even though I have this huge antenna that should get it. It took only one time to get the channel.
I used this antenna and pointed it in the correct direction.

In my case I use a Channel Master STEALTHtenna 3010 installed in my attic to pickup Over-The-Air (OTA) digital HD broadcasts. I happen to live on the south east side of Norman about a mile south of OK-9 and about a mile west of US-77.

I have a Panasonic TH-50PX6U HDTV which includes a built-in ATSC tuner.
FWIW, I don’t use an external amplifier between the antenna and TV.
Glad to hear you got your issue fixed…

Thanks for your input. After reading Chrisrokc’s post, I replaced my antenna with a Terk and will now enjoy ABC college football in HD.
