Working in Ohio today

[comfortably_numb]

Doing some work at my parents' new house today (well, not "new," but new to them).

They're moving to Fubo TV + ESPN app for streaming, plus OTA. My job is to remove the Dish OTA antenna from the dish pole in the yard, remove a Directv slimline dish from the roof, and install the OTA antenna on the Directv pole.

There are also 2 older poles elsewhere on the roof that I am removing.

Interesting to note that Dish didn't use the usual Televes OTA antenna here. They used a King Jack model.

BTW, if anybody is in the Springfield/Dayton/Columbus area and wants a free Slimline dish, let me know, otherwise its going in the dumpster.

I'll be here until Noon on Saturday the 29th

That King Jack isn't too bad. We had them for about a week and I thought they did better than I expected

Yeah, it's picking up all the Dayton locals and LP channels and I haven't even hooked up the preamp yet

Forgot to bring my zip ties so will have to go buy some

How do you feel it compares to the Televes?

Performance, about the same, but I like the build of the Televes better. Especially the power supply. It just seems more durable overall
