Hi Dren, I got really tired of trying to make it work in the attic. signals would not come in strong consistently no matter where I placed it in the attic, or it's orientation, and that was after 4 different antennas.... I already had a wireless weather system installed on a 10 ft. mast, via...

I've been running on my Winegard 1080 for about 6 weeks now, and my reception on all HD locals is super fantastic. Not a single frozen screen, pixelation, lost signal, nothing. we had some high winds, rain storms and now snow, and nothing stops the signal. I am running between 87 and 100%...

hi folks, I have had the Winegard 1080 up for about 2 weeks now. I put up guy wires a few days ago to keep my 10' mast steady, plus I grounded my mast and coax run. I am getting fantastic reception on my locals in HD, and thus far, I have seen not a single video or audio hiccup related to the...

thanks folks, I actually got a guy wire kit from Weather Hawk that had everything I needed. worked perfectly. Jeff

agreed, I'm not going to lose sleep over the grounding situation. Yesterday I grounded the antenna and mast the best I could given it's position and the information I have gathered on this site and others.... for the better part of the first 40 years of my life, I lived in homes in...

thanks for the replies guys. the best place to put my antenna was on the 10' tripod mounted, 1 1/4" mast my weather station was already mounted to. easy to get to for service, but high enough to get fantastic HD reception on my locals. so I had to run the ground wire from the mast across...

hey folks, so, I have my Winegard 1080 on a 10' tripod mast in the middle of a flat part of my roof, along with some wireless weather equipment. put it up a week ago when i got my Dish Network installed. reception is perfect and stable on all channels. now I need to ground. here's my...

thanks, actually Radio Shack stores don't have guy wire and accessories. not like the old days. actually, I think I found everything I need at Summit Source. Appreciate the response.

thanks folks. I went ahead a bit the bullet and bought a Winegard 1080 locally while I am waiting for my DTVb2 to arrive in the mail. mounted it on my 10' mast on my roof where I also have some weather station equipment mounted.....working pretty good so far....

hi folks, so I have my Winegard 1080 mounted on a tripod base, with a 1 1/4" OD 10' mast. it's mounted on my roof. the antenna is at the very top of the mast, and of course, it sways with the slightest amount of wind. I am hoping to get some help with ordering guy wire hardware. I am out...

hey guys, so, I went down to Radio shack and thought I would try this: UHF/VHF/FM Indoor Antenna With 12-Position Fine-Tuning - RadioShack.com put it up in my attic, and it's not bad. I get consistent 100 signal strength on 4(NBC), 6(ABC), and 10(CBS). 28(FOX), is the issue. I can't...

hi boba, I will try that first. in fact, when I return the 360 antenna to RS today, i will get one from the and give it a try.

Thanks Cowboy. I'll take the omni back to radio shack. sounds like that's just not going to be the best option, even if roof mounted. I'll pick up a bowtie per the online spot you mentioned, and try mounting it in the attic first. If that does not work, I'll try a gable mount. thanks so...

cool. I missunderstood the other posts. I am definitely not in a commercial district, just a residential subdivision. one more question: how high of the roof should I go? what is the rule of thumb? I do have a couple of trees in my front yard that are above the roof line. do I have to get...

hey guys, great info. here....wow. so pulling off the amplifier got rid of the audio dropouts, but now, the receiver gives me the "signal loss" message on every channel every 10 minutes or so. I am getting 84+ signal strength on each of the OTA channels. so, I can certainly return the 360...

thanks guys, I do indeed have the amp wired in. I will remove and see what happens. will let you know. thanks!

hi folks, I have a Radio Shack 360 degree UHF in my attic. I am running 50' of RG6 cable to a bi-directional splitter, providing the antenna reception to OTA adaptors in each of my 722k's. I am 3.4 miles or less from the towers of my locals. all of them register 90 + consistently on my DVR...

thanks for the info. guys. I went to tvfool.com....very cool site! the towers for all my locals are actually less than 3.3 miles away, due East. I thought, what the heck. I went down to radio shack and picked up their 360 degree UHF antenna. placed it in my attic on the east side of the...

hi folks, been reading this forum with great interest. I am ordering Dish and will have dual 722 DVR's, and want to take advantage of the on-board OTA tuners they have. I have always gotten my local HD stations via cable, so I have never had any experience with antennas for rooftop...
