    Help with Antenna Selection - 34684

    Thanks for the feedback. I forgot about the HD7694P...I had just gone on Newarks site to look at the Stellar Labs products because I had such good results at my last place. Didn't even think of Winegard or Channel Master. Thoughts on the Stellar Labs 30-2440 versus the Winegard HD7694P? I'm...

    Help with Antenna Selection - 34684

    So I got some really great help last year and am looking for a little more. We're going to be moving at the end of the month into what is hopefully our "forever home"... Rabbitears report: RabbitEars.Info I've since switched away from Tablo to an HD Home Run with ATSC 3.0 tuners. Planning to...

    So far so good on the mount. We're getting all the available locals from Tampa with perfect picture quality, no drops so far. I'll take some pictures when I get home from work. The current mount seems plenty strong enough but I am going to try lowering the antennas a little anyways just to be...

    Yep. Looks like RCA is trying to save some money and got rid of the combiner functionality. I ended up ordering the Stellar Labs combiner from Amazon. Been working great so far.

    It's 2" EMT, much stronger than fence top rail post in my opinion. Once I get there second antenna up I plan to take the leaf blower to try and simulate some wind and see how it behaves. Also if signal strength is strong enough I'll lower the antennas some and cut off the top

    The replacement from Amazon is the same way - single input, single output Oh well, the combiner will be here tomorrow so I'll get the UHF Antenna mounted today, coax run down the pole to where the combiner will mount and have it all ready to go. New hard drive power supply will be here...

    I've already got a separate combiner coming too. So if the replacement from Amazon doesn't do it, I'll use the amp and combiner separate.

    Nope. Only has 2 coax connections, one for combined input and one output. I have a second one coming from Amazon cause I thought they sent the wrong one by mistake. But the one's at Lowes were all single input/single output.

    The external hard drive I have has a separate power supply. It's a 5TB Seagate that I bought a few years ago when I bought the Tablo. I have the original 4 tuner Tablo

    Another update: The antennas got delivered today. I got the UHF installed but it seems that RCA has changed the preamp. It no longer has a combiner built in. I checked my local Lowes and the same deal, amplifier but no combiner. Also discovered that the external hard drive I had for the Tablo...

    Coax cable pulled through the attic yesterday and terminated into the homerun to the TV/Tablo. Also run from the antenna through the grounding block. The RCA Preamp/Combiner should be delivered today and then everything will be ready to go for when the antennas arrive which should be tomorrow...

    I'll see how bad it feels once the antennas are up. It's not just a simple j mount, it's a tripod type. I tend to err on the side of caution as well so if it doesn't feel 100% it'll be replaced quick. With the just the pipe it feels extremely sturdy so far.

    Here you go. That EMT fit so tightly in the mount the paint scraped off the inside of the mount. It's only a 10' piece, any higher I would definitely guy it. You can see the much higher available peak of the roof and I drew an arrow in the direction of the towers. Like I said, if it doesn't...

    34613 Antenna Selection Help

    First update: Removed the old satellite dish from the mount. Went to Home Depot and got a 10 foot 2" EMT pipe and some stainless bolts and nuts. The EMT was a tight fit in the satellite tripod. I drilled 2 holes and put in the stainless bolts just finger tight for now until my antennas get here...

    I should say that with the satellite mount, it's a tripod style that I plan to add a 10' pipe to. If that doesn't work then I'll look into taller mast. It does look like the separate antennas have slightly higher gain than the combined. Not sure if that is real or marketing. If I need a...

    What about something like Winegard HD7694P or HD7698P? Avoids the combiner and might fit better on the existing mounts. Also, it looks like an 8 bay bowtie from Stellar Labs has better gain on UHF than the Yagi. If I go with separate UHF/VHF anntennas, would the bowtie for UHF and the Yagi...

    It's been a LONG time since I've looked into an antenna, used to be 10 miles but now I'm quite a ways farther from the antennas now. Rabbit Ears: RabbitEars.Info The antenna will be feeding a 4 Tuner Tablo DVR. Ideally would like to get all the stations in the ~161 degree direction. I have an...
