Antenna recommendations
 

First, thanks in advance for any advice / help.
Here is the analysis link: http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...4033e218381af7

I'm looking for an antenna (and possibly a preamp) for my mother's house. I've seen quite a bit about the Clear Stream 2 and 4. I would like to give her the opportunity to get as many channels (within reason) as possible. The CS4 with pre-amp combo is about $160. Is there an equivalent, more cost effective alternative? What other brand(s) should I think about or avoid?

If I'm missing any info, please let me know and I'll furnish it.

Tv Reception with Tv antennas
 

How many tv's are/will be connected??

The stations south and slightly east, listed in the green section of your report are going to be easy to receive reliably with the C2 or C4.

These 4-bay UHF panel antennas are competitive, and sold by reputable companies.

U4000, DB-4, DB-4e, CS4, CM-4221 or HD4400.

Any of these antennas should have no trouble feeding 1 to 4 sets with no amplifier needed, there is plenty of signal power at your location.

If your mother is interested in religious programing, a high-VHF antenna pointed at 79° compass will provide reliable reception of WINM. An Antennacraft Y5713 would be my suggestion. To combine the UHF antenna and h-VHF signals into one down-lead, use a UVSJ.

GroundUrMast: Thanks for the recommendations. I'll check them out.


She will have up to 4 TVs connected. However, only two will likely be on at any given time. Also, as it was late last night when I posted, I neglected to mention that she also has an antenna rotor already in place.
