Are you in a valley or on a hill? If you can do the outdoor antenna that will be the better solution. The indoor antenna that you tried was it a powered one, I live about 20 miles from my towers (as the crow flies) and have no major obstructions inbetween me and the towers, I use an indoor...

All of the digital channels will be QAM. If you choose to run 2 seperate cables to an A/B switch you can select OTA or cable but as stated above not on the same cable.

What else is around for you to get? Check antennaweb.org If you are getting good reception on the channels that you can receive, adding an amplifier could over drive the tuner for those stations, if you do try an amp I would also keep a variable attenuator in line adjust as needed!

Which direction are you from Roxborough, I am about 20miles west (as the crow flies) and I am using a Silver Sensor with a motorola signal booster feeding a Dish 6000. I pick up 3,6,10,29 and 57 (DT) without any problem 12 and 17 seem to have a little multipath at times I can also pick up 35...

Try to manually enter the Fox station!!

Are all the ststions coming from the exact location? Sometimes they run them at less than full power!

For available channels in your area check www.antennaweb.org. When a station broadcasts a digital signal ex (DT-WPIX) some of the programs will be in HD and some won't.

There is no best antenna, every situation is somewhat unique, from the description you gave his is very unique, this may be a situation of trial and error, unless someone else has a similar situation. Try the SS or if you can find a R/S double bow tie! As a last resort if HD stations are...

Two antenna tied together is usually not a good thing, theoretically okay but for practical purposes not, even in the article mentioned above the writer admits you may not be able to get this to work. Read the last few paragraphs!!

Are you restricted to an indoor model only?

You are pretty far from the stations that you desire (you mentioned 100 miles roadwise how far line of sight). try www.antennaweb.org. How is the signal if you feed only one TV? Do you have any stations closer from another location? Two 75ohm loads on one antenna will cause a mismatch and...

Are you talking about an outdoor antenna? How far are you from the broadcast antenna's? Before you try two transformers try to repoint it slightly, or try an amplifier. Two transformers will load the antenna down causing mismatch!

I recently purchased one and it is a good antenna, however it is very directional so I have to move to pick up a few of the stations, I was recently using the RS double bow-tie (looks like a BBQ grill) which is an excellent antenna also, but for me the Silver sensor is a little better.

For your last question you can only find out by trying it!! If it has the old 300ohm twin lead connector just get a transformer to 75ohm type F. If neccessary and possible rotate it some. Good luck.

Razorfish If you want to pull in all the OTA signals you should get an antenna that can pick up VHF and UHF. Since you mentioned the 5:4 switch I assume you are running both direct TV and OTA to each location. If so you need a diplexer at each location to separate the signals.

From your original statement are you saying you will have HD in 3 rooms (meaning 3 HD receivers) or 1 receiver and sharing the signal?

The first part is correct. About the second part, are you talking about all channels, non HD or just OTA HD? How were you planning on distributing the signal around your house? When you answer the 2 questions I can follow up with more answers.

Razorfish OTA signals are broadcast using the VHF and UHF bands, channel 69 is the highest UHF it is about 804mhz, so 900mhz is okay.

That is some good news, yes you may need to play with your antenna a little more. To much gain can be a bad thing!! I have an indoor antenna and to get 12,57 and 29 I need to move it slightly. 3 , 6 , 10 are always strong.

http://www.channelmaster.com/ I found this link at the very bottom there is a note to configure the amp for your usage. Products,amplifiers,titan 2 and look at the bottom of the page.

First let's eliminate the simplest things. The amp has an in and an out which way did you connect it, the antenna it should be connected to the in port. Is it plugged in? If 1 and 2 are okay. Is there a gain control on the amplifier if so vary it around and watch your set. Let me...

Kwhite Do you want satellite or just OTA, from your original post it sounds like you only want OTA which is it? I belive if you purchase a satellite/OTA receiver you need to have the sat dish pointed to the satellite (You don't need to subscribe) but you need a locked signal to utilize the...

Which STB's have you found for OTA, if $400 is your budget there are a number to choose from, an inexpensive indoor antenna is the Zenith Silver sensor about $20-30. You can always find a used STB for a little less.

I am in Limerick and I am using the Motorola signal booster with an indoor antenna and I can pick up all the Philadelphia stations and If I turn it I can pick up the Allentown stations. Digital only (no HD).

You are about 35-45 miles away from Roxborough you can try an amplifier, can you pick up the analog UHF stations?
