    New Channelmaster 4228, good Idea?

    First of all, YOU MUST have a good ground going down the side of your house into the ground (preferably a stake. I used my 4228 with the 811. There is a coax with 2 ends that tie into the antenna. Run RG-6 cable from the antenna to the back of the 811 or 622. Go to www.antennaweb.org...
