Hello All,... New to the forum and would like to ditch the dish.

http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=29&q=id%3d46ae14093d5c5f

Here is what I have so far, but have not installed.

91XG UHF antenna
Winegard LNA-200 Boost XT pre-amp
30 ft antenna tower w/10ft section of mast

I do have a rotor, but do not know if it works or not.

I see I have a few VHF channels I might could pick up. Could this pre-amp be used with both a UHF and VHF antennas combined? What would be a good VHF antenna for my needs?

All suggestions appreciated!

While it's possible you may see WMC, the odds are against you. The signal levels are quite low and Low-VHF antennas are not going to have the gain needed to make that signal reliable. I'd say try if there was no other NBC option.

KFVS appears to be your one CBS option so I would point an Antennacraft Y10713 at it.

Combine the 91XG and Y10713 with a UVSJ (UHF / VHF signal combiner)

I find it ironic that it's necessary to combine the signals to feed them into the amp, then the innards of the LNA200 separates them back out again with all the attendant loss so it can use separate amplification paths.

Get that rotor checked out, your area really needs it.
