Just replaced the 3rd gen Digital Stream cum 26" Insignia LCD upstairs with a 
26" LG LCD LED 1080p and a new LG BD player.
 
Using the same Radio Shack double bowtie, got fuss-free reception of all DC and 
some Balt channels, EXCEPT for CBS9. Amazing. CBS9 is in fact the lower power 
VHF station in this market (12.6 KW ERP), but my downstairs setup gets it 
solid. My wife doesn't want two DB4 antennas unpstairs, so I'll be 
experimenting with prettier antennas, I guess.
 
The two Balt VHF, just like downstairs, completely missing in action. Although 
I did notice that the autoscan hesitated a bit on 11 and 13. But the manual 
channel edit showed no signal at all.
 
Also, during setup, I looked for a standard stereo left/right RCA output. 
WHAT?? There are none? Panic panic. Can I buy a Toslink to stereo converter 
box? Panic.
 
Whew! There is a headphone outlet off to the side. And I already had a stereo 
mini phone plug to RCA adapter. So all is good, and the sound goes through the 
stereo sound system as God intended.
