->ALL<- Questions and Answers about Broadcast Tv Reception and More.

If replacing the Up7.

As GUM suggested the HD7698P.

I STRONGLY recommend the HD7697P or HD7698P antenna and mount the antenna higher then 11 feet.

I've had no drop outs since relocating the antenna due south, but did have some pixelation on WUSF (16.1). Of course not sure this is a long term fix as only one day has passed. Sprayed the balun with water & it didn't affect the signal. Not sure about the Digitenna at this point, but I have room now for an HD7698P.

When I first looked at the specs, I made the mistake of not scrolling to the last page. The model Model No. DUVĀ®-XF UHF performance is in the same class as the large Winegard 769X series. I still have reservations re. the VHF performance though.

I agree. It's probably limited to picking up stronger VHF signals that are listed as Green in the TV Fool report. I doubt it will do a decent job with weaker Yellow channels.
