View Full Version : In Need of Help
Hi, I am new to this and need all the help I can get. I am looking to get an antenna that will work in my area. I currently have an "In-House" flat antenna and I only get 3 of the local stations. On very calm late evenings I do get some additional signals form much further area stations but lose them rather easily.I would like to increase my chances of the reception of more signals and hopefully gain more channels for viewing. I would like to know what would be the best antenna to purchase to achieve my goal? Which direction should I be positioning the antenna or should I consider an antenna that will allow for it's rotation remotely? Any help would be greatly appreciated
I'm sorry but I forgot to add to my previous posting ...I live in Belvidere Illinois

We require the tvfool radar report. Use your exact address of your house and make the antenna height 25 feet and also how many tv's will be connected?? Do as the other question askers do and Do This-> http://forum.tvfool.com/showthread.php?t=4. If you can't figure it out. Then get the tvfool radar report , address , from the address bar at the top of the computer screen. The information in the address bar will start like this , http:// .

You could receive signals from Madison, Milwaukee, Chicago or Davenport. An antenna system for this purpose would need to mount between 25' and 50' in the air, clear of major obstructions such as dense trees or buildings. Large high gain antennas such as the Antennas Direct 91XG, and Antennacraft Y10713 would be needed, as well as a quality low noise preamplifier such as the Antennas Direct CPA-19. If more than one distant market is desired, a rotator or additional antennas would be required.
