    Super-Duper Multi Location Antenna?

    I am looking for a home style antenna that I would put on a mast. I would aim it by turning the mast. I am thinking along the line of small channel master METROtenna 40. I have the big brother of this one and it works great.

    Super-Duper Multi Location Antenna?

    I am looking for an antenna to replace the one that is on my travel trailer while camping. This will be mounted on an antenna pole.

    OTA Tuners with guide question

    Doesn't channels DVR require a computer to schedule and the recordings are on the computer itself? If so how do they connect to each other and to the TV? I have wifi service, but not ethernet service to my TV.

    New Home Setup?

    Today was a good day for testing since I aimed the antenna toward the Joplin, MO towers. With the heavy rain all of the Dish local channels were off and all of my OTA channels were up and running with no pixilating.

    New Home Setup?

    I have done several tests during rain, but I have not had a storm yet to check since I aimed the antena toward the Joplin, MO towers. There are less trees close up this way than being aimed at the Arkansas towers.

    New Home Setup?

    I decided to remove the CM7777 from the loop to see what happens. I was getting great signals and pictures until some storms hit. Nothing worked during the storms. So this morning I turned the antenna toward the Missouri towers. Everything has 100 on the Hopper 3 signal meter. The real...

    New Home Setup?

    It also requires either an Iphone or Ipad which I have neither. I am using the signal meter with the Hopper 3 which is all I have found.

    New Home Setup?

    I removed the CM7777 and did a rescan. The rescan dropped a few (Fox & ABC) channels from Arkansas, but picked up these channels from Missouri. I may try turning the antenna a 180 degrees to see what happens.

    Thanks I will check into adjusting the antenna and the Televes amplifier.

    New Home Setup?

    Thanks I tweaked it a short while ago as much as I could. I just thought maybe another antenna or amp may work better. I don't care about the Joplin stations or the lone VHF station.

    New Home Setup?

    I asked this a while ago, but here it comes again. I cannot raise a mast above my roof peak, but I can raise it 6' to 10 ' higher than what it is now at 7' above my fascia and 15' above the ground elevation. I also cannot cut the thousands of trees down. I would like to get a little better...

    New Home Setup?

    Neither cutting the trees or raising the antenna 30 to 40 feet above my roof peak are options I can do. I was hoping to just get a better antenna and maybe a router for it.

    New Home Setup?

    I have no problem with only one direction which is toward the channels in Arkansas and not Missouri. I was surprised when it picked up the channels from Missouri.

    New Home Setup?

    My antenna worked great for the winter, but it does not now with full leaves. I get high signal strength (80 to mid 90), but it bounces from good to bad. What are my options? I was hoping to be able to cancel the Dish locals and depend on this. I do have it outside on a mast and I tweaked it...

    Luckily I got my antenna installed being one of my local channels has just been dropped due to a dispute with Dish.

    Grounding OTA Antenna?

    My meter can location is 50 to 75 feet away from my house. But I have the main disconnect switch a short distance from my antenna. At the bottom of it is a ground block (something) with 6 spots for ground wires. The Dish Network ground wire is going to it. I don't know if Dish installed that...

    Grounding OTA Antenna?

    Now that I have my OTA antenna setup I want to ground it being it sticks up about 8' in the air. The mast is secured to the house fascia with an 1 1/2" thick piece of rubber spacer to keep it off of the shingles. The base is secured to the top wood rail of my deck. I am thinking of putting in...

    New Home Setup?

    I got my mast and antenna installed today and I am picking up all of the local channels from Rogers, Fayettteville/Ft. Smith and Joplin. The CBS station in Ft. Smith is the weakest of them all. I even picked up the PBS station (13-1/9).

    New Home Setup?

    I got my antenna today and just for kicks I set it up on my deck rail. I aimed it toward the Fayetteville/Ft. Smith stations and I picked up the Rogers/Eureka Springs (Fox/NBC) stations and the ABC station from Joplin. I do have it aimed the correct way.

    New Home Setup?

    The only VHF channel is a PBS that I do not watch. This will not be my main go-to for watching TV, but for having something on if I loose channels due to storms.

    New Home Setup?

    I have decided to go with the same setup I had at the last two houses. It worked great then even in the attics and the towers in different locations. It is the CM4228 paired with a CM7777.

    Someone locally has this model where they point half of it toward Joplin and the other half toward Fayetteville. View: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00C4XVOOC/?coliid=I2Q8NL436DTWHH&colid=3IJYIIPA9F1VO&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

    New Home Setup?

    After checking with some neighbors and seeing the chance of losing some channels on Dish I am looking at this again. I now plan on having an telescoping pole with a router. I checked the locations using the Winegard app and none of the three locations will be blocked by the house roof. The...
