Thanks for the info. The ION station at only 8 miles is likely to
cause some challenges. It may overload your tuners, causing
the weaker stations to be unreceivable. The small, durable
yet capable Winegard 7694p costs just over $40.00 at Amazon
and HomeDepot.com To avoid any roof penetrations and leaks,
I'd use a "J" mount from MCM electronics but your old Dish
Mount would suffice quite well and save you money. Keep it
simple, especially at first. Purchase new RG6 cable, 50 feet
and run the cable from the antenna to one television through
a door or window. With one person holding the antenna and
the other watching the tv, either do a scan or check your signal
meter, if your set has one. You'll need to experiment and it
may take several hours to see where on your home you get the
best signal. You may just be better off with the Savannah
stations, even though that isn't your closest or home tv market.
Once you have your best signals and location, mount the
antenna. Don't forget to ground your system. It protects
against lightning and can enhance reception as well.
Do not use any kind of amplification, it will only cause problems.
Hope this gets you started.
