Vjeko, I couldn't open your attachment, thus the trials of using a DialUp. I have very little to ad to TG's informative comment. Customarily, it is not necessary to ground twice. If you do, just leave enough slack in the Cable, to remove the Block IF you have loop problems. Or, if this...

CowboyDren, HA !, I agree with you (almost) completely ! :D I was expecting to go into the smaller Antenna setups, when the OP bauked at the one mentioned first. Also was expecting him to modify his criteria, omitting the need for a couple stations, and the addition of the separate...

Fellas, let's talk about this a minute.... boba, I'm not all that sure that a UHF is going to pull in FM for jlabsher. That's asking a lot of an Antenna which only gets down to Ch 14, to reach farther down and pick up a Freq between Ch 6 & 7. Now, if he would get a Modified VHFhi/UHF...

Chart Colors – Nice to look at, but... TV View, As Jim says, the descriptions of the Colors is listed below your Chart, but, what is said there, does not comply to what I have found to be true. The statement in the "Green" section, says that one should be able to receive those channels with...

rcc, 15 channels is pretty good, but, given your location, you probably have a LOT more available to you. If you'll post your ZipCode, we can look up your Chart, and see if you can improve on that number. Or, if you'd rather do it yourself, you can follow these... LookUp & Posting...

AWWWW shucks ! That's just TOO subtle ! :eek: How do they expect an old guy like me to see things like that ! Thanks. Have a good Day ! :) S.W.

Tower Guy, That sounds like a very handy alternative to TVF ! Could you give us a link to those Maps ? Have a good Day ! :) S.W.

olJim, Greetings, nice to see you online again, hope you and yours are well. AlaskanPrincess, I'm not all that familiar with the 222K unit, but I will agree with Jim, on the Terk equipment ! Customarily, when one combines OTA (the Antenna) with a Dish, it's done via two or more Diplexers...

acamus, I second the congratulations ! :D I'm very happy to hear of your good results. Unfortunately, my DialUp didn't let me open the pictures, but, I've good a good imagination. Have a good Day ! :) S.W.

Antenna Installer gregfi, I happen to have a Link that may help you. I want to say this emphatically !... I have not used this company. I do not know of anyone who has. You will get some $0.0 results, until you contact them, and state the conditions. I'm not saying this is a bad...

Jim5506, You said, "that antenna is not functionally compatible with that pre-amp". I'm inclined to agree with you, but, why do you say that, other than the obvious 300/75 Ohm difference. Have a good Day ! :) S.W.

acamus, Wow, I know 62 &+ ! You mentioned you had some difficulty in accessing the Antenna, I see now ! Please excuse us for referring to you in third person so much, but one thing for sure is, that Splicer and I agree on the 7696 being a rather large Antenna. If you remember, I refereed...

Blonder-Tongue Pre-Amps Spec Sheet Link Splicer, All your points are well made, and I ALWAYS read your posts carefully, as I highly recommend that acamus should also !!! One thing though... IF acamus has a CM 4221 (which I think he has), it is not rated for VHF. Wouldn't it be a good...

Splicer, Yes, we picked up on your first post about this. It was a good point to make ! I've been retired for just about 10 years now, and I've installed several of the Winegard 796 Series, but, I just can't remember if one can optionally select 75 or 300. I haven't even considered the use...

Winegard HD7696P, Specs, Install Manual, Links NSAA, I can not come up with a good enough Pic of the... Winegard HD7696P or in the.. Spec Sheet for the Winegard 7696P to see the Transformer section clearly. In the... Winegard Series 769 Antennas Installation Manual on Paragraph...
