Yep, you're in the network's "dead zone". Sorry to say, you gonna need digital cable or satellite. |

You may be in a dead zone, but as another poster commented, the issue is probably the frequency. KGUN moved from digital frequency 35 to 9, so they're back on their old VHF channel. I lost the signal too (Campbell & Glenn) because I had a UHF-only antenna--which works really well for all the other channels. So to avoid getting rid of it, I dug out my old rabbit ears which are part of a UHF-VHF antenna. I bought what's called a UHF-VHF combiner from Radio Shack (~$15) and hooked up both antennas to it, and now I have KGUN back.

That I have a problem with: the TV stations effectively forcing people to invest in cable/dish to pick up formerly local stations that were 'free'.  |

But you don't have to do that. A cheap antenna or other device at Radio Shack will fix the problem, as noted upthread. |
