antenna suggestion please
would appreciate a suggestion for my work site:
http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...b9c9cd98eeaf2d it is a brick building, single level, with an attic. building has florescent lights---not sure if that matters or not. I am hoping to find an effective attic mountable antenna to get the most i can. thanks for any suggestions. i am only planning on running two small tv's.....20 inch or less. |
TV Antennas and Reception

i did not realize i was limited to questions about one site. my first request is for a vacation home.....this is my work site, as stated in my request. two locations that are about 100 miles apart.

No worries. You've got a lot of strong UHF signals with line-of-sight to the transmitters. Barring any buildings blocking the path, you should have no trouble. The only challenge is the wide spread needed to get a PBS station with everythng else. Why not try a $5 single bow-tie from the Shack first (don't need the VHF rabbit ears), then go from there?

i have tried that as well as a phillips power antenna indoors at the tv. the phillips worked much better than the bow tie, but still can only get about 6 stations. i have plenty of attic space to toss something under the rafters so was wondering what would be the best bang for the buck. i appreciate the help here. is there any problem with asking about multiple site suggestions? i have 3 different sites i am interested in putting antennas and this is the second site i have requested info about.......just do not want to abuse the priviledge!

Here's the situation. If you aim to Greensboro to the SW, then that's all you'll get. Aiming more southward will allow WUNC to pop in. Aiming at Raleigh, you'll need a VHF-capable antenna for channel 11. So, you can either get a Winegard HD7694 or an AntennaCraft HBU-33 with a rotor to swing the antenna between the two markets, or fix either of those towards Raleigh and use what you already have for Greensboro. Run separate coax feeds into an A/B switch that feed you TV. |
only really interested in the group in greensboro. will the antennas you listed work ok just laying in attic? i can get by with just the uhf channels. would any type of non-directional antenna work in the attic? thanks.
