    OTA Frustration

    Several stations under 7 miles? Have you tried a paperclip? Bend it into an "L" and insert it into the antenna jack. While I can only get one channel that way, it like most of my digitals is between 25-30 miles away, Antennaweb recommends a red zone antenna. Can you try your antenna in the...

    A co-worker of mine has winegard's biggest VHF/UHF combo, as well as their biggest UHF only tied together on a telephone pole he put up in the back yard. His zip is 54911, Appleton, WI. He gets all of Green Bay (local market) HD and SD, as well as Wausau SD 24/7, without moving the antennas...

    Antenna Preamp suggestion?

    I have a Dish Network 811, all my locals are great except one. Went up on the roof and temporarily installed an indoor DB. amp. My last channel came in great, while it did not overload the rest. Any recommendations on a good mast mount amp that is not too strong, and can be satellite powered...

    Advice on building an OTA HD system

    Less than 5 miles? My first try for an Antenna, would seriously be an unfolded paper clip. Next I would try this (RadioShack.com - Home Entertainment: Accessories: Antennas: Indoor) at Radio Shack for under $5.

    Distant OTA

    Thanks to both of you. Lorenzo, I guess maybe I worded my question wrong. I already understand Good analog usually means good digital is available, and have used antennaweb.org and 2150.com many times. I also understand the importance of height, and being outside, which I am. What I am...

    Indoor vs. Outdoor Antenna

    YES! Let them put it in. It's free, why not try it anyway? That said, especially if the dish is on your roof, the outdoor OTA antenna will almost always make a big difference. If it does not work out, you can always go back to the Terk.
