I've been thinking about buying a new antenna, and had a mounting question.
I was thinking about taking down our Dish 500 and switch, and using the mast for that to mount an antenna, and reuse the existing RG6 cable to run to our Directv receiver for OTA reception. We have Dish for locals, and I'm wanting to get rid of Dish Network, and use our Directv receiver to record locals OTA.
The Dish 500 was just installed a month and half ago, so the cable is brand new.
Would this work? I've never installed an antenna before, but it looks fairly easy.
Thanks for the help.
Edit: if it matters, here is the antenna I'm thinking about buying... http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5000835
