Hi All,
I have already cut my contract with my satellite provider and wish to install a roof antenna for OTA signals. Also, I have tried using a set-top antenna and it's just not feasible, due to the stucco/chicken wire on the house.Wind is a consideration as it can get really windy at its worst.
My TV Signal Analysis

Looking at the above report it would seem the best direction for the antenna would be 270 degrees? Will the antenna be able to recieve the channels without any issues at 232 degrees?
My understanding is that the dish itself is useless for television frequencies so I will remove it and utilize the mount and cabling if possible for an antenna.I would like to hook up three tv's to the antenna via the existing cabling.
Mounting
I was planning on using the existing DishNetwork J mount for the antenna. After researching this briefly, it would seem that I may require a "joiner" that are used in chain link fences. This is if the antenna clamp doesn't fit the J-pipe.
Cabling
The cabling is split and then routed to the tv's throughout the house. Does anyone know if this will allow for the TV's to utilize the connections without problems? I have read that what may work for satellite may not necessarily work for OTA set ups.
So I guess in short I was wondering if there were any recommendations for antenna's along with any input on the set up I intend to use. Thanks in advance!
