I need to drop cable

Hello, I cannot continue to pay $160 a month for sub par cable.
Please help me in selecting the correct equipment to finally drop cable.
Here's my analysis.

Hello dropcable,

Do you intend to have your antennas at 10' above ground? If not, can you repost your tvfool map with your anticipated antenna height above ground?

Thanks.

It looks like you'll need to mount outside. Within the limits of safety and practicality, go for the highst location that is not obstructed by nearby trees, buildings, etc.

I'd use two antennas. An Antennas Direct 91XG pointed at about 130° (compass) and an Antennacraft Y10713 pointed at about 272°. The RCA PRAMP1R has inputs for both antennas.

Thanks GroundUrMast,

Just ordered all from Amazon.
This could save me thousands in the next few years.
