I appreciate the site and all the information. I am interested in switching from cable to OTA. I'm a little confused about what I need and what kind of results to expect. Some of my confusion is due to the same search I did on antenna web said I couldn't expect any stations.
I considered getting a professional to do the job, so I called the local TV/electronics store in my Yellow Pages. They said they'd be happy to sell me an antenna and install it, but they said they could not predict or gurantee the results. Then they tried to sell me a Direct TV contract. Not exactly the help I was looking for.
I found a local antenna wholesale supplier. They directed me towards a "Digitenna" deep fringe, and a pre amp. However they said it was really up to me to tell them what I need, and the equiptment wouldn't be returnable once installed.
So based on my report do you guys think it's worth me giving it a shot. I really want to be fairly confident I'm going to get the channels down to KETC reliably before I invest the time and money. I'm very open to any advice in regards to equiptment selection, so far all I know is the Digiantenna I've been shown.
Thanks in advance for any advice or help you can provide.
