I am helping a friend set up an Antenna for OTA reception of HD. She has a base for a satelitte dish on her roof. It is a tripod support with a center shaft. I am thinking an antenna can be set in that shaft or attached to it. Here is the link to the tvfool analysis of the address:

Your help is appreciated. And again have a great Christmas and New Years.

An RCA ANT-751 pointing at about 290° compass will 'get' everything in the green section of the report except for KSMV due to co-channel interference from KVMD.

This suggestion is based on the tvfool report for , Pending Applications Included , Only Digital report. Digital tv transmissions being transmitted from different points around the compass , are LOS = Line Of Sight ( the best kind of tv reception) and are strong transmissions. Install a Winegard MS1000 antenna above the roof. Here are some antenna mounts , http://www.ronard.com/909911.html , http://www.ronard.com/34424560.html , http://www.ronard.com/ychim.html.

The MS1000 is an omnidirectional antenna. Given that 98% of the useful signals are in one direction, I don't understand this recommendation. We normally recommend antennas of modest directionality like the ANT-751 in order to prevent multipath problems.
