Help with outdoor TV antenna
Greetings,
I am new to the site, and don't know much about antennas, but I need to get rid of Dish. Here is my TVFool report: http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...f1f06737e74bdd We have a lot of Ponderosa Pine trees in our area (Monument, Colorado), so I am wondering if I will still be able to get any reception. The TVfool report indicates that I should be able to receive some channels, but I don't know if it takes into account the vegetation/trees in the area. Reading some of the comments on the forum, it looks like a directional antenna is best, but I don't know which one will get me the best reception. Any help or comments would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. |
Do you have (or can achieve) a tree-free signal path to wither Lookout or Cheyenne Mtn?
Tree's are wild cards, usually bad ones. But, sometimes they don't affect signals enough to be an issue. Forewarned is forearmed |
I don't think there is a real clear path that is tree-free, but there are some openings in the trees near the house. The trees are Ponderosa Pines so the leaf density is somewhat open.
Is there some way to do a test to see if a signal can be picked up? Or do I just buy an antenna and give it a shot? Also, which antenna is best? I see people on the forums using a Winegard directional and some use Bowtie antenna. Not sure which would work better in my situation. Any ideas? Thanks for the reply. |
Because both target markets include one or more VHF channels, I'd suggest getting a modest high-VHF/UHF combo antenna like our C2V and testing reception from both directions to see what might be received.
