Great antenna being Discontinued

[dodge]

I saw today on Winegard Direct.com - Winegard TV Antennas and Accessories that the Winegard Hd8200p is being discontinued and no longer availible. If you can find one at a local retailer grab it, it is a great antenna, I'm going to get one as a spare.

Home of the plano tackle boxes! I have relatives from my wife's side that lived there for many years, now only one remains there. the other two families have moved to marseilles and somonauk...

two things if I can. I just installed a hd tv and had dish over to upgrade my dvr. afterwards, I found out my milwaukee locals are not in hd. surprise. heres hoping it will happen soon and I tried a $35 indoor antenna to no aavail - took it back. the other thing is also after the tech left, I noticed my dvdr is not hooked up properly to work. I have a panny th42pz77u tv, the dish hd622 dvr/receiver and a sony rdrgx355 recorder. without being able to give you the units schematics, I was hoping you could tell me why we cannnot get this thing to work as before. Dish wont help, and sony/panny cant help.

any assistance is appreciated.

I find best luck is with the square shooters!

They should discontinue the sensor antennas, those are a true piece of crap and a matter of fact I still got some left over from when I used to do VOOM!

The 4228 is the only antenna that allows reception of all local channels at my location.

All the crap shooters I have seen don't get the VHF hi band at all.

"This item is NOT UPS Shippable, it must go by freight truck."

Obviously an item you want to find locally...

Which goes with the OP's advice "if you canfind on at a local retailer grab it".

Maybe you missed that I was replying to goaliebob who pointed out the shipping cost.

Jeeezz.. if you need that rig it just seems easier to "move".

 

[navychop]

No doubt a factor in their being discontinued.

No> i was reinforcing the point. Sorry if that was not clear.

The antenna is the cheap item to ship. A tower, now that is expensive to ship. Definietly items you want to get locally.

I was waiting for Los Angeles to move thier UHF Digital to VHF... and I was going to buy this antenna... but now... I think I need to buy the bullet and find one locally this week !

I got mine from skywalker Skywalker Communications: Satellite Sales, Consumer Electronics, Web Development, they shipped it with spee-dee delivery not kidding Spee-Dee Delivery Service, Inc.. They can ship big things and it was like 18 bucks freight. Problem is spee dee does not ship to all 50 us states.
