Help with Antenna - Very bad location. Parker, CO
Okay. I bought some rabbit ears, not knowing my available channels' strength. Nada. Used to live near downtown Denver and I could hang a coax on my TV and it would pick up all. Here is my report:
http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...2c15a5ef118fcd Any luck out there for me? I know that no HOA can say NO to me on putting an antenna up, but it sure would hurt my neighbors and I hate to get "Oh, its that guy" look on me. So anything small but workable? I know I am asking too much. |
I can't offer a great deal of hope for an attic mounted antenna system based on your report.
Your report indicates that you need a full sized 'deep fringe' antenna or combination of antennas. I'd go with an Antennas Direct DB8E + Antennacraft Y10713, mounted outdoors, clear of obstructions. The DB8E is a panel design so it may be able to hide on the back side of a roof if that doesn't obstruct it's view toward the stations. The Y10713 is a Yagi type... a full 10' long. There are combo antennas such as the Winegard HD7698P and Antennacraft HBU-55 that merge UHF and some VHF capability into a single antenna, but they are also long like the Y10713. |
PA. DTV reception
My company specializes in small workable antennas. UHF and VHF that can mount on a satellite pole. They work very well where reception is similar to that in your report. If you want to have a look. www.tripleplayantenna.com

i agree with ground mast. Outside antenna for your plot.i recommend one of these. http://m4antenna.eastmasonvilleweath...y/8%20bay.html. I use the largest Wisker one and have great results with all yellow and red uhf / vhf.

If I lived there I'd try a 4 bay UHF plus a Y5-7-13 and a TVPRAMP-1R preamp. Mont it on the roof as inconspicuous as possible.

I think HBU-55 is on sale at radio shack for $80. Will try that and return if hope is lost. I was wondering, also, if I can repurpose an old dish to concentrate the signal and replace the LNB with a receiver? |

That sounds like a much better use of a retired satellite dish... The wave lengths are far more similar.
