Antenna for WMLW games?

[razzzorsharp]

So I am about 45 minutes away and our cable doesn't have WMLW. I am looking to get an antenna that would help with this? Any suggestions or past recommendations?

I would guess that a rooftop antenna is probably going to be the only realistic way for you to get it. Even then it may be tough. WMLW is a low power TV station.

 

This page on their site has some useful info: http://www.wmlw.com/getconnected.html

Yuck, rooftop is not an option. Thanks for the help.

They're currently a subchannel for channel 58. I would think that if you can get channel 58, you should be able to get WMLW.

http://antennaweb.org is a good site for things like this too - enter in your address, and it will tell you what kind of antenna you need.

Good call. WMLW is 58.2, by the way.

I'm about 60 minutes to the west of Milwaukee. I have a rooftop antenna and 58 - along with all the Milwaukee stations - is spotty. Really depends on atmospheric conditions. I'd say without a rooftop antenna you may be out of luck, possibly even with one.

I've seen this posted numerous places. I made one of these antennas about a year ago and it has worked great. I have it in the rafters of my garage. Never have any trouble getting any of the local channels (I'm in Muskego). Haven't had cable in 10 years.

I think the guy in that video needs to find a video on how to fix holes in the knees of your pants.

Weird. I just set up a multidirectional indoor antenna in southern Milwaukee County. When it's on top of the TV, all of the full power channels come in fine, plus WYTU (low power Channel 63) tries to come in.

 

If I move the antenna to the floor behind the TV, WYTU is clear as a bell, but Channel 10 poops out. The odd thing is that I wouldn't expect Channel 63 to come in at all. I'm not getting any of the other low power Milwaukee channels (7, 38, 41).
