    pre amp distance from antenna

    I got the televes 560383 and was disapointed that I couldn,t get the 2 antenna model. After reading about you getting the 560483 I realized I am lucky. I have a new channelmaster preamp now on the channelmaster antenna. I also have an older televese orange pre amp that is connected to the...

    pre amp distance from antenna

    I had my antenna tower laying down so I could do work on antenna. Now I have 3 antennas on the tower. The winegard with the antenna module doesn,t work at all. The orby tv antenna works fine. The channelmaster worked better before I changed the preamp. I have all the preamps mounted at the...

    I have a Toshiba tv with an indoor Antenna ?

    You scan the indoor antenna the same way as you do the outside antenna FTApa already gave you the directions. It doesn,t make any difference if you use a small indoor antenna except an indoor antenna is not going to work as well as an outside antenna. If you can,t figure how to do a channel...

    Wind Turbines and TV Reception: Well, this stinks....

    Finally repairing my tv Antenna.

    I just smeared a lot of wheel bearing grease on the top of the bearing. I had a tight fit hole that I drilled in the center of the sewer cap and slid down the pipe to cover over the bearing. I moved the antenna in the cold weather and it never showed any drag. I expect that yausa rotor to last...

    Is a 50 year old rooftop antenna worth keeping?

    I put up a 7698p when I had my tower down and it will not pick up anything. I would rather have a balum that that little enclosed item those antenna have. I was wondering if anyone replaced that rinky dinky thing that winegard uses on those antenna,s? Next summer I probably will probably lay...

    Under Eve Antenna Mount

    Under Eve Antenna Mount

    This looks like a good idea. I checked amazon and it says no longer available. I got the idea that maybe you could get someone that sells stainless exhaust to bend you a pipe and weld a bracket on it. Also maybe just have him bend the pipe and connect it to a regular satalite dish mount.

    Which Set Top Tuner Now???

    I downloaded the manual. I think you might have the tv format set to pal. If you do picture would be black and white. It needs set to ntsc. Get in your menu, press picture, scroll down to tv format and set the tv format.

    Are Pedestal Indoor HD Antenna's any good and will they solve my reception issue

    If I had to pick out an antenna I would pick out the televese antenna. Don,t think it is so ugly. There is another post that dish put on someones satelite dish,s and it was hardly noticable.

    Am I losing signal using multiple coax extensions?

    I just pulled all my old cable because it was copper coated wire and replacing it with solid copper quad shield. I feel 1 long cable is better than your connected cables.

    Pre-Amp voltage on RV Antenna

    Glad you like the televese antenna and getting good results. I have had mine for 3 years and this summer I finally got it mounted on a 20 foot pipe after 2 years using it only about 5 feet off the ground.

    Attic Antenna Recommendation

    I can,t vouch for your extreme signal hd991 but I can vouch that the televese 149883 is a a good antenna that gets me all the north erie pa channels and all the youngstown ohio channels on the back side antenna.

    Attic Antenna Recommendation

    Tvland1 I wanted to point out that the antenna you have on this post is not the same model as the first one you bought. The first one you bought was model 149883 which I was told is stronger than the one you posted here for $95.00. The one you have on this post is model 149483. I edited the...

    Pre-Amp voltage on RV Antenna

    I read all comments in this post. You will not need the rca pre amplifier with the televese antenna as the antenna already has its own amplifier built in. You use the power supply that comes with antenna and operates on 110 volt.

    Big 3671 channel master antenna on Amazon.

    If you search Amazon for CM 3671 there are 4 available. It works extremely well. If you look on amazon there is a picture there. I would send a picture but do not know how to do that. There is an element that has broken off at the plastic lock piece that looks like an arrow fin tale. Anyone...

    Pre-Amp voltage on RV Antenna

    I think you should be happy with the performance. After looking at your camper picture I wonder how you will travel with such a big antenna. Are you planning on taking it inside the camper When you break camp? It should fit thru door if you have a place to lay it down when you get inside. When...

    How do I determine square foot wind load on antenna.

    While doing work on my antenna tower I was thinking of adding a small antenna to my large channel master vhf/uhf antenna. Do not know how to calculate square foot wind load. Since i have a cm 7777 pre amp was thinking of using the orby antenna connected to uhf port and combined vhf/uhf port...

    Pre-Amp voltage on RV Antenna

    Did you decide what antenna you are going to use, or you going to try the orby antenna,s first? I think one of the televese antenna,s might be good for your needs. Most of them have the pre amplifier built into the antenna. The power source plugs into 110 and has 2 outputs. I am preety happy...
