Anyway, I put most of the antenna together today to get ready for the install, but it looks like one of the large elements came slightly bent. Pictures here and here (sorry they're dark). If I try to bend them back, I'll probably snap them. Does this matter?

I think I have to take all of it down, mount included, when/if I move. Then seal the holes in the wood. I don't think they want the antenna mount left up after I leave. I was thinking about this last night, trying to figure out how I could avoid having to run coaxial cable the 100 foot run to...

Okay, I'll try different height levels before doing anything, but say my reception is fine using just 3 feet of mast. Will cutting off the rest help put less strain on the fascia board, or should I not even bother?

I don't want to open the mast box just yet in case I want to return it. I'm really just concerned with the durability of the mast over a long period of time, and the wind too. I know all steel masts will bend eventually. Just want to make sure mine doesn't for a long time. Will be going to Home...

OK, cool. To get back to the antenna installation, I'm all of a sudden having doubts about the mast I chose. I went with a 1.25 inch diameter, 5 foot swedged mast, also by Winegard, mostly because I knew it would be compatible with my Winegard mount. I wanted to get a 2 inch mast for strength...

Going to watch it, mostly because I liked Veronica Mars so much and this looks like it will be somewhat similar.

The villain would have to be either Black Manta or Ocean Master, right? I figure they'll probably start with Ocean Master because it's closer to home, then introduce Black Manta for a possible sequel. Could be cool if they play it like they did with the first Thor movie, brother/brother conflict...

Awesome. And do you think it will work fine the way my diagram shows? Without a diplexer/combiner, just putting it on the fourth leg of my antenna splitter? I'm having my antenna installed in a week, so I'll guess I'll find out. EDIT: Here's a better diagram of what I'm thinking.

Oh, so instead of combining the antenna and the Internet signals, I can just separate out the Internet and then bridge it into the antenna coax network with one of my MoCA adapters? If so, I wouldn't even need a diplexer, but how would it look? Antenna Drop>>Main 4-Way Splitter>>Out to TV 1...

I can't physically separate them because I use MoCA adapters to run ethernet over coax to all my Rokus, so I need the modem on the same line. And I can't install all new wiring throughout the house, either another coax or an ethernet, because I'm renting. I only really have permission right now...

Oh yeah, on the Channel Master site it says "Offers return path for cable modem applications". I wonder if that means it would work for my situation. Anyway, I'm pretty sure Verizon FiOS Internet signal wouldn't interfere with the antenna signal, so I may just go that way. EDIT: If I got Time...

Okay, this all seems a bit complicated. I'm thinking about switching to Verizon FiOS Internet anyway and from what I've read they use much higher frequencies. It would also work well with Moca adapters. Would that solve my problems?

Thanks for the tip. I could probably separate the line going to my modem from all the rest, kind of isolating the cable modem in a room that doesn't need a TV. The only problem with that is that I also use Moca adapters that shoot ethernet over coax on all my TVs, for Roku streaming. That would...

A quick search says a diplexer might help me here?

Basically, a 2-way splitter. I didn't think it mattered where the antenna was plugged in. The thing is, my cable box is on the other side of the house, so it would be a long run to the main/first split. I guess a much longer coax cable will be necessary. Yeah, Time Warner Cable. I just have...

I mean I would pull out that coax cable on the first floor, which is just a TV endpoint, then put a directional coupler on it. Using the coupler I would then connect both that TV and my antenna to the house coax. That should allow the antenna signal to travel to all the other TVs in the house, I...

I'm pretty sure my ground rod is on the other side of the house, where my main coax box is (it's dark right now, so I can't really find it). Anyway, I didn't want to put the antenna on that side because I thought the chimney might get in the way or somehow damage the antenna with smoke. The way...

I just got the go-ahead to install my antenna. I'm going to put it right here, on the side of the house on the fascia board. I ordered this mount, this mast, and besides that I guess I'm going to need the coaxial cable and probably some stronger bolts than the ones that come with the mount. Does...

Henry Cavill has apparently debunked this: http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JoshWildingNewsAndReviews/news/?a=113439

If you want to go that way, you can also try PLSR as a promo code for a discount on Tivo Lifetime.

The only reason to choose Tablo or Simple.TV over Channel Master DVR+ is if you need to stream to multiple Rokus. Channel Master DVR+ is a pure antenna signal, uncompressed, the others encode to .mp4 or something like that for easy streaming. Picture quality is probably fine, but definitely not...

You can remove your credit card info on your roku.com profile. For initial setup, you can call Roku support to setup without a credit card.

Quick search found this: http://dvr-review.toptenreviews.com/magnavox-review.html Not sure about guide data for it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/TiVo-Series-3-HD-Dual-Tuner-w-Full-Product-Lifetime-Service-Wireless-Adapter-/131396909456 How is Lifetime so cheap on these? Is the subscription just...

As far as I know it's the only brand name one, outside of Tivo. I don't have one, but based on all my research into it I have no reservations buying one once I get my antenna set-up. The main reason for the price gap is that Channel Master is a name brand and will essentially be giving you a...

Bought this too. Real price was $50 for HD Lifetime, but my laptop doesn't seem to be powerful enough for HD recordings. I have one recording that's a little fuzzy, but it streams fine to Rokus on my home network. Not sure what the Hopper can play, but make sure you're recording .mp4 and not...
