TV Antenna Repeater Question
Is there such a thing to put a TV Repeater System on a hill to get signals from the main TV stations from another city to transmit to a local community with antennas???...:confused:

in less populated areas of the country was either vast distances between major cities and/or geographically challenged with hills/mountains. There is also a passive way of bringing television to small communities. An antenna is placed on a mountain top or hill with line of sight to the broadcast towers. That antenna is connected to a second antenna facing usually downward toward the small community. Outdoor antennas in the small community receive the signal from the second antenna pointed directly at them. It works but not nearly as well as the translator system. |

If you want all channels, it would need to be a CATV system with coax feed to all homes. If it's just for one home that isn't too far down the hill, there are two ways of getting all channels without the need for a license. 1. Antenna and preamp on the hill and coax feed down to the house. 2. SiliconDust tuner and antenna on the hill with a WiFi link down to the house.
