    OTA Newbie with some questions...

    Here's the antenna I'm currently using: https://www.walmart.com/ip/GE-Compact-Outdoor-Antenna-Receiving-Only-30741/48988771 And on Amazon: It lists the pole for the j-mount as 15/16" width

    OTA Newbie with some questions...

    Yeah, I'm using an app on my phone and an actual compass to double check. I initially had to do the hand-waving calibration method for my phone to read right ;)

    OTA Newbie with some questions...

    Man, you guys have been a wealth of information on here! I truely do appreciate all of your continued efforts, and patience with me. I'll have a pretty full schedule for the next few days, but hopefully will be able to continue my testing (this really is kind of fun) shortly.

    Thanks Harshness. My pre amp is mounted on the mast, but the power inserter is inside, just before the splitter.

    OTA Newbie with some questions...

    Being as though I was receiving (albeit a very small) signal from WJZ 13.1, I had hoped the distro would amplify that (and the other signals) to the other runs. Maybe I'm mistaken, but I thought that's what it was designed for? Please don't take that as cross, I'm just still new to all this ;)

    OTA Newbie with some questions...

    30741 is the number I found on the box. I originally went looking for that RCA you spoke of, but wound up settling for what my local Walmart had, as opposed to coming home empty handed. I had intended to purchase the Channel Master Stealth50 that has a similar look, but I've also got some mixed...

    OTA Newbie with some questions...

    Thanks for your continued input Voyager6. :) I was in and out on the roof there for (what seemed) like two hours yesterday, doing what you described; just to even get any kind of signal from wjz 13.1 Since I'm working on a shoestring budget, I will have to continue doing my purchases in small...

    OTA Newbie with some questions...

    -Raine thanks for your input on the distro amp. Looks like I'll probably try that 3414 in the near future. And NavyChop, I'll definitely steer away from conduit if you believe it not strong enough. I mentioned conduit because it's fairly inexpensive (vs plumbing pipe), and my little GE yagi is...

    Hmm not sure if it's atmospheric conditions or what (looks clear), but no signal on 13 or 11 this morning :(

    OTA Newbie with some questions...

    Yes I do have a pre amp hooked up already. The Winegard LNA200. There's about a 20 foot run connected with a barrel, and another 30 some foot run added to that; just to make it in through my bedroom where the power inserter and splitter are. From there it's about another 11 foot to my bedroom...

    OTA Newbie with some questions...

    Thanks again guys for all your great suggestions. Since I'm off today, I've been out on the roof removing the Directv mount, and installing the included j-mount that came with the GE yagi. It's only 1" thick, but just for kicks I put an old broom handle in the end to give me some height. I've...

    OTA Newbie with some questions...

    Thanks for your input so far, guys. I most definitely intend to remove the antenna from the dish, but the current antenna has mounting holes drilled only for a 1 inch u-bolt clamp. I could possibly drill another hole in the antenna for a larger mount, but I would likely also have to ream/drill...

    Thanks for your response, Tylorert! =) I do have a different 4 way splitter that I can use in it's place. Btw, what happened when yours was on there?

    OTA Newbie with some questions...

    Hi there! As my title states, I have recently came into the world of OTA. My household has been on some hard times just lately (I know, who hasn't, right?), and I've been unfortunately forced to let my Satelitte service lapse. For the time being, I am unable to afford the $130/mo luxury of...
