Tv antennas and Tv reception

Your location has Many Digital Channels to receive both Canada and USA. This recommendation is based on the tvfool radar report of the Current and Pending Applications Included , Digital Tv Broadcast Channels as of 02-27-2012. Install a Antennas Direct DB4e antenna with a Antennas Direct CPA-19 preamp aimed at about 195 degree magnetic compass. The Tv stations/channels that will be received are the groups of digital tv stations/channels in the green and yellow reception zones to the south and south west down to WNYO-DT UHF channel 49 MyNetwork. http://www.saveandreplay.com has the DB4e and CPA-19 preamp. And any other OTA = Over The Air , equipment you will require. Here is how to aim antennas , http://www.kyes.com/antenna/pointing/pointing.html. Here are some examples of antenna mounts that most often used. 5 foot tripod mount , Eave mount , Chimney mount , Channel Master antenna mounts or Winegard antenna mounts or some other manufacture , saveandreplay will have. http://www.ronard.com/909911.html , http://www.ronard.com/34424560.html , http://www.ronard.com/ychim.html.

The Tv must scan for the , Digital Broadcast Tv Channels , some times called the 'Air Channels' or 'Antenna Channels' because the Tv transmission travel through the air from the transmitting antenna to the receiving antenna. . Do Not scan for cable Tv channels.

It is Ok to read my recommendation , you will find the preamp that is recommended . Use a simple 2 way splitter. The power supply of the preamp will be on the input port of the splitter , Do Not connect the power supply of the preamp to one of the 2 output ports of the splitter. The preamp unit will be mounted close to the antenna. http://www.saveandreplay.com , will have all that is required to receive Tv reception. Order on line or go into the store.

Hi Electron,
Already bought the antennas direct db4e but not the cpa-19 pre amp. The store was offering instead PA18 UHF/VHF Antenna Pre-Amp Kit. Is this ok?
Thanks,

The PA-18 is designed for weak signal applications. Your situation definitely calls for an amplifier that can handle stronger signals. The CPA-19 is the right amplifier in your case.
