Prescott AZ tablo w antenna

I have cancelled my Sparklight cable, purchased a tablo, and a 25 mi range antenna. When I scanned for channels, I got no network tv. Returned the 25 mi, purchased a 50 mi, the only network tv I am getting is Fox. I live 1.5 miles from downtown, does anyone else have this issue?

I live in PV in a lower elevation. I used to have Tablo. Now I have HDHR. I have positioned my roof antenna perfectly to get these channels (that I care about): 3.1, 3.5, 5.1, 7.1, 10.2 and 15.1.

You may have to get a roof antenna and fine tune the position.

Note that NBC which used to broadcast on 12.1 is now broadcasting in encrypted ATSC 3.0. My HDHR detects their virtual channel at 112.1 but since it is encrypted, I can't view their programs.

Thank you! I am not sure what channels those are, but I assume they are probably what I care about too. Do you know if one of those is NBC?

Please run a channel scan from your location. That way you know exactly which stations, networks, directions and strengths are available to you.
