The directions for the phone app is in the manual which come with the unit.

Make sure you get the free phone app which will guide you to position the antenna in a straight line to the nearest tower. Fully extend the two antenna on the back of the device for the ultimate reception,

I don’t have a link but you can order on-line. Best Buy would be your best bet. Hope this help. Model ANT1268EV

I would also be remiss if I didn’t mention that this rca antenna has a phone app whereby you are shown where the signal tower is and it pinpoints exactly which direction to face the antenna. You lock into it.

Also, this indoor antenna which is amplified gives you excellent audio which the non-amplified won’t. The non amplified also will probably give you less stations. The amplified antenna was $31.00 at Best Buy and has a range of 45 miles.

I bought a RCA amplified hdtv antenna last week. There were only two easy steps to connect it to my tv which took less than one minute. While the picture isn’t as rich as cable or streaming it’s pretty darn good.

Sorry. I didn’t in intend to include the political ad at the top of the Austin News piece.

La Shawn Ford calls for state to sell White Sox property Ford is filing legislation for the sale, which he said could pay off debt and serve as a new source of property tax revenue by Jessica MordacqOctober 28, 2024 Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) The exterior of the MLB's Chicago White Sox's Guaranteed Rate Field. | Credit: Joseph Hendrickson/Adobe Stock La Shawn Ford, who represents the 8th District in the Illinois House of Representatives, is filing legislation to sell the state-owned property where the White Sox play on Chicago’s South Side. Though Guaranteed Rate Field isn’t in the 8th District — which encompasses part of Chicago’s Austin neighborhood and the Forest Park suburb — Ford said selling this land would benefit more than just the South Side, allowing Illinois to pay off debt associated with the White Sox and receive revenue from property taxes, which the state doesn’t pay. The attempt to pass legislation comes after a recent report that White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf is open to selling the team. To sell state-owned property, Ford has to get authorization from the state by filing legislation, something he says must be done at some point if the state eventually wants to sell the land. “Whether we sell it today or not, we still need a bill to be passed to allow for the state to sell the land,” Ford said. “The state has a need for revenue,” he added. And the White Sox aren’t exactly a money-making team. The Illinois Sports Facilities Authority owns the land that Guaranteed Rate Field sits on. The group was created in 1987 as a way to fund the state’s professional sports teams and the construction or renovation of their stadiums, according to WGN TV. Guaranteed Rate Field has cost the government $200 million since 2010, South Side Weekly reported earlier this year. But the White Sox have only paid ISFA about $27 million back in that time. Even if the Sox stays at Guaranteed Rate Field, selling the land to a private developer would increase the amount the city gets in taxes from the property. That money, Ford said, could be used to fund deferred maintenance or expanded housing for Illinois universities, many of which Ford said are requesting one or both from legislators. For example, Chicago State has $89 million of deferred maintenance and $192 million of additional renovations that need to be completed, according to The Daily Line. “While we have a sports team that has their hands out saying they need money to build a stadium,” Ford said, “we need to make sure that we speak up for our public universities and communities that need development.” “By redirecting proceeds from a potential sale of this prime real estate, Illinois could make transformative investments in higher education, ensuring safe, state-of-the-art learning environments that attract students and faculty,” Ford wrote in a letter to Gov. JB Pritzker earlier this month, calling for the sale of the property and telling him he’d be filing legislation to do so. “This would strengthen our educational infrastructure and provide a lasting economic boost to our state.” If Reinsdorf sells the team, and the state sells the property, Guaranteed Rate Field could become housing, businesses, or both through a mixed-use concept. This, Ford said, would improve the state of Chicago’s economy. “There’s a need for housing, and there’s a need for business growth in that area,” Ford said, both of which would create revenue for the state. He added that the location of Guaranteed Rate Field, next to the Red Line and the expressway, is an ideal location. “It’s a perfect place for development of housing, shopping, and we can’t miss this opportunity,” Ford said. “We have to find a way to stop Illinoisans from leaving, and this is one way to do that.” Ford said he learned about filing legislation to sell state-owned property through his involvement in the sale of the Thompson Center. In 2022, the state sold the building that once housed its government headquarters to a development firm for $30 million and the acquisition of a $75 million office building downtown. Google is expected to move into the building after what is expected to be years of renovations are completed, according to Capitol News Illinois. “The county now receives the benefit of the new landowner paying property taxes,” Ford said. “And they’re going to create jobs and other opportunities for tax revenue for the state and the city and the county — without regressive taxing.”

Lindbergh said this exact same thing during a question and answer session which followed a presentation he delivered on White Sox History which took place at my local library, six or seven years ago. Apparently he still believes today what he believed all those years ago. His opinion carries a lot of weight.

Reinsdorf is a Bum. He’s not a real Chicagoan. He’s a Freaking born and raised New York Brooklyn jag. Reinsdorf is no different than his fellow New York scum of the earth Al Capone. Reinsdorf came to Chicago to get rich by feeding off the taxpayers and blue collar working stiffs that Reinsdorf calls “suckers”. Nero had more class than this creep. What he has done and what he’s about to do to this multi century franchise is and has been the acts of a man with no appreciation or respect for the hard working people of the City Chicago. He has never cared about anything other than fleecing us of our tax dollars and our hard earned cash. Go back to New York, Jerry, where you belong.

How about Richie Daley for interim manager? He’s not busy.

All winning streaks have to end sometime. The Sox had a nice 1-0 run. I hope mlb has enough baseballs available for the Dodger series.

Do Getz or Reinsdorf even watch the games? Do the other white Sox owners (Jerry’s partners) even look to see who won? Does LaRussa think it’s still spring training. Make “The Sodfather” the manager. He probably know more about baseball than all of them combined.

Nobody ever gives the pitching coach any heat. Fire his useless ass also.
