I purchased Titan 2 CM7777 - to replace WINEGARD AP-8700, I mereley replaced the units but the Titan does not give me any channels, the winegard gives me 22 HDTV channels. I did not use TITAN2 power unit as I assumed the winwgard power unit would...

I did the exact same switched but used the Titan power unit. Even using the same power unit, the Titan gave me less channels than the Winegard. I believe that it is faulty electronics within the unit. The unit uses older electronics technology, but according to my husband it is still good. However, there are coils inside the unit. If one of the coils are a half turn off (either too much or too little) it will throw off the units ability to pick up signals. I do not think you did anything wrong. I have read previous reviews and try all of the suggestions and even did the troubleshooting from Channel Master to no avail. It is just faulty.

I have wineguard 8200 antenna. I have had it for 20 years. It receives HD signal perfect. When my satellite goes out due to a storm I go to my antenna.that gets a great picture. I record all my shows from local channels off the antenna. You have to have the correct time zone programed in from your settings. My Channel Master CM-7000 some time reverts back to the East coast time zone. Just reset time zone. when I do my recording I like the ability to set it for weekly, daily schedule. I have had my Channel Master CM-7000 for 3 1/2 years. When there a power outge I have to reset time zone again, programing stays fixed. I have wineguard 8200 antenna. I have had it for 20 years.

I've been trying to get the ARC to work on my tv for a week. Went thru every device/connection scenario in my head a million times. Gave myself a massive headache. Swapped cables, re-rigged differently, etc.Talked to Yamaha rep twice [yamaha RX-V667 receiver], talked to Samsung 'experts' twice.I finally decided to go back to the basics. "Does this tv even support ARC??"rep lookingrep lookingrep lookingnope.I don't feel stupid.*LOL*

I have no experience with the antenna you inquired about but did replace an Antenna Direct DB9 with the Winegard. The Winegard is slightly superior to the DB8. The only antenna I have tried that is better than the Winegard flat wave is a highly directional 177 foot Wineard that was just too long for the attic. The principal stations watched are about 50 miles away across some ridges and valleys and subject to a lot of stormy weather. The flat wave is doing pretty well, is smaller than the antenna it replaced and comes with a matched amplifier. kFor anything under 50 miles the flat wae should be quite adequite. David

Before you change your antenna, be sure that you have a working antenna amplifier attached at the antenna, feeding the signal down the cable to your TV. It also helps to put your antenna higher, such as in the attic, rather than lower. If you have done all this and still don't get all the channels, it MIGHT help to get the Winegard antenna. It is a very high gain antenna, but that also means that it must be pointed level and at the station directly. The high gain is achieved by making the antenna directional, unlike a dipole. Hope this helps.

I don't know??? I have VIP211k's and have no problems. I looked on both the DISH and Winegard websites and don't see a definitive answer. On the Winegard site I see one reference that say the X2 works with all VIP receivers, in the Q&A; section it says...Q. What do I need to set up the Pathway X2 antenna?A. You will need a TV and an activated receiver with programming package. The antenna must be used with a DISH Solo HD receiver; examples include DISH 211k, 211, 411, and 211z receivers.I would call Windgard, their Tech Support folks are very helpful.

I live in Ringgold on the other side of a hill, and also use a Winegard booster. I get 3, 9, 12, 39, 45, 53, and 61, as well as all of their -.2 channels. And when a tree in my backyard is bare I also get 6.

I live 42 miles northwest of Chicago on flat terrain. I bought this antenna because it will go down to digital channel 7. We have two digital stations that broadcast on the VHF spectrum. I can receive 61 digital channels, although when it is overcast I will lose a few of the low powered stations. All the channels are broadcast from the Willis Tower (formerly the Sears Tower) except for channel 24 which is broadcast from the Trump tower about a mile north of the Willis Tower and not as high. I have trouble receiving the channel 24 channels, when it is overcast, windy, snow or rain. This antenna is highly directional and you really have to play around with reception strength to get the best oeverall signal strength. A quarter inch rotation of the mast can mean good reception or no reception. This is probably true of all digital stations, no matter what the antenna is. An antenna which almost as good it the Winegard Air outdoor antenna which is a powered antenna and is only a rectangular black box measuring around 16" X 16' X 2". It doesn't even look like an antenna but it works pretty darned good. More expensive though. Antenna height is an important factor for long distance reception. I think mine is about 35 feet off the ground on the roof of my house mounted using a tripod base. I'm thinking about adding 10 more feet in height. Because of the size of the Winegard antenna, I probably would not need guy wires to hold it up. No matter what antenna you use, be sure you do a channel scan right after it is hooked up. Incidentaly the winegard works surprising well inside the house at maybe 5 feet height from ground level. I've tried many indoor powered antennas which hardly work at all. Winegard makes an indoor version of this antenna, but it probably is nowhere as good.

I am just an "end user" and am using an upgraded receiver that works independent of my Genie. It would be better to direct tech questions to Winegard.

I only have channels 3 and 6 on the low end 2 thru 9. (get 3 diff channels on 3 out of psu. Only 11 channels total avail here in rural central Pa. I will try to get more in the spring by rotating it.

Brandi...I have one of the first Insignia TV's made, and it would only control the power, volume and channels; it would not work for the other functions. I complained to the manufacturer of the remote, and they admitted that it wouldn't necessarily work on all models. I scolded them for not stating that in their product description. If you do not hear from another owner who has your same TV model, you're taking a gamble. For me it was not an expensive gamble, and I needed a remote that could do at least the bare minimum functions.

I am sorry, I have no knowledge of the Titan. I can only speak to this unit and after 13 months we are still very pleased with it's performance

Make sure the connections are secure and proper and the antenna is elevated high enough, this antenna works on line of sight,if there are obstructions (hills, trees , buildings etc.) it will not work as well as planned. Did you also research the programming available to you in your area? You should go to "titantv.com" and enter your zip code and see what is available in your area. My antenna still works great after several years and I do recommend it. Good Luck.

On my second sk3005 antenna and it's just failed. We've replaced one dish, the LDU and cable. I'm suspicious that the antenna can be damaged by road vibration or water infiltration. Hope you're having better luck getting help from Winegard than I am.

I live in Waldorf MD. I am about 35 miles from our towers as well. I tried 3 antennas. Clearstream 2V, DB8e, and the Winegard HD 7694P. The Clearstream 2V worked pretty good, DB8e not as good for me, and the Winegard worked the best by far. Higher is better. I ended up with the 7694 a preamp and distribution amplifier to send throughout the house. I got about 30 channels on the Clearstream but it took a lot of tweaking. The DB8e never dialed in as well. The 7694 worked great the moment I set it down.

Depending on the area your in and the broadcast stations in the area will determine how many channels you will get. Winegard MS-2002 HDTV Antenna without Cable this antenna used with this box will get you almost every broadcast in the area. You will likely pickup multiple of the same channels due to the main transmitter and small signal translators repeating the signal. A work around would be to pick the best looking strongest channel and delete the others. The converter box works just like an HD TV with a built in tuner. So far I'm very impressed with its abilities and give it 5 starts. Depending on the area your in and the broadcast stations in the area will determine how many channels you will get.
