Detroit antenna + installer
 

Hi,

Here's my analysis result page: http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...990004647c8316

When I moved into my home, there was an old roof antenna strapped to the chimney. It's been there for who-knows-how-long. It picked up all of the immediate area stations, but not the ION stations out of Ann Arbor.

WoW Cable came through, and I took the bait; regretting that now. Not Wow's fault...just that cable TV isn't worth it. If 40% of my viewing time is commercials, then I shouldn't be paying for it. I'm cutting the cable soon.

Anyhoo...looking for recommendations on antenna rigs (including rotator, if necessary), and a reputable installer.

Thanks in advance.

You have many channels available, mostly from the ENE. The Ion channel is to your West. This could require a rotor, but due to the strength of your signals, first try using an Antennas Direct CS2 complete. Remove the reflector screen from the rear of the antenna. This will create a bi-directional antenna. Aim the antenna to 75 degrees magnetic to receive all of the channels to your ENE and the ION channel to your West.

If your present mount is in good shape and it provides a view to the East and West you can use it to mount the new antenna, but I recommend that you replace the coax with new RG6.

If there is an existing ground block, use it. If not install one in line with your coax and connect it to your electrical service ground rod.

Awesome! Thank you for replying so quickly. :)

Here is how to aim antennas , http://www.kyes.com/antenna/pointing/pointing.html

Seems easy enough. Now it's just a matter of time for the project, and renting a lift (no way I'm going that high on a ladder...and my roof is too steep for my comfort).
