Does this sound OK?
Antennas Direct 91XG UHF
Winegard MS 1000 Metrostar
Eagle Aspen ROTR100 One-Cable Antenna Rotator
Channel Master CM0068DSB Pre-Amp
Channel Master CM3414 Distribution Amplifier
Winegard CC-7870 2-Way TV Antenna Joiner Coupler
Is the MetroStar compatible with the 91XG, pre-amp, and rotor? Or will it muck up the works?
We decided that we want WLVT, channel 39/39.1 and WWOR, channel 38/9.1, and a stronger signal for our local stations, 11 miles away at 273 degrees. WLVT is 42.7 at 330. WWOR is 74.4 at 48.
Sorting through the specs it looks like these might work:
Winegard HD-9032 UHF Prostar 1000
Denny's HD Stacker (Antenna Manufacturer: Winegard) Estimated Range 60 to 80 miles
Antennas Direct V21 High Gain UHF / VHF Antenna Range Up to 65 miles
Antennas Direct 91XG
The Winegard MS 1000 Metrostar for the local stations.
The Eagle-aspen rotor is coax powered. They suggested the CM0068DSB.
Will be on a row house. 30’ to the roof line. Mast 10’ Chimney mounted. ZIP: 19136. TV's: 3 total. The only being used is a new HD LCD. We have 2 CRT sets with converter boxes.
We have a four way splitter installed. We were told we had the option of bypassing the splitter, and forgoing the distribution amp, or replacing it with the amp.
Run from the antenna to existing splitter is about 60’. About another 30’ from the splitter to the active TV set.
We get the local stations pretty good with rabbit ears. However our local PBS station, WHYY, breaks up some. And we get some breakup because of the I-95 traffic helicopters.
WHYY is VHF on channel 12. WPVI, our local ABC affiliate, is also VHF on channel 6. All the other channels we care about, are UHF.
Figuring labor is going to be much of the cost, we started wondering what we could get for our money.

One of the guys at work said he used to be able to get WWOR by pointing his antenna South, towards the Tacony-Palmyra Bridge. That is only about 3 miles away. Don’t know if that’ll still work with the digital signal. We are not right on the river, maybe a mile away.
I've talked to some local people. Some seem to be honest but don't have a lot of expertise. Other seemed to know a lot, but, said WWOR was a VHF station, and spec'd and "100 mile antenna', that the mfr says is good for 60.
