tv antenna

[danristheman]

I am looking for a tv antenna model from a few years ago that bolts on top of a satellite dish can anyone help?

Both Perfect 10 and Terk made TV antenna mounted to the dish. Perfect 10 mounted to the clamp on the dish and by far the more popular Terk TV42 actually clamped onto the dish rim.

An antenna clamped onto the dish will not perform as well as a separate, unless you live in a strong signals area.

Some of us despise Terk as over priced underperforming eye candy.

Seriously, do those even work?

if you live maybe 2 miles from the towers (like I do)

otherwise they make a "J" mount that does bolt to the dish and you can put up your own antenna (I wouldnt advise putting a 12 foot antenna on it)

Someone once told me the clip-on-the-dish antenna was the number one antenna ...

... for returns.

Yes they can work if you are not too far from the broadcast towers. Yes if your dish is aimed close to the direction the broadcast towers are located. For me the broadcast towers are almost exactly the same as DISH so except for distance a TERK could work.

Because the Terk TV42 and TV44 used satellite receiver power to energize the OTA amplifier, they aren't compatible with any of the modern band-stacked LNBs (including SWiM).
