Antenna Recommendation
 
Hello All,

I posted this yesterday here but for some reason, it's no longer here. At any rate, can somebody recommend the best antenna to use. I've tried several indoor antennas and none seem to cut so far. Either I can pick up some stations or the ones I pick up are not stable and pixelates a lot. If I have to get an outdoor antenna, would it be ok if I mount it where my dishnetwork's dish used to be located? My tvfool analysis is: http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...8387a9b6410ede
Thanks!.

The satellite dish mast will do fine mechanically. If there is a fairly clear view east, great.

Try an RCA ANT-751 aimed east. Resist the temptation to add an amplifier to the mix, you should have plenty of signal power to drive several sets.

The dish mount is located by the window of the rooms on the east side of the house.

I'd like to be able to hook up at least two tvs; three if possible. Thanks.

Thanks Groundurmast, I'm looking at the RCA ANT-751 at the moment and looks like it's got very good reviews from previous and current users. Thanks.

The dish mount will need to be mounted higher or here are some antenna mounts , http://www.ronard.com/34424560.html , http://www.ronard.com/ychim.html , http://www.ronard.com/909911.html . I recommend a Winegard HD7694P antenna aimed at about 100 degree magnetic compass , here is how to aim a antenna , http://www.kyes.com/antenna/pointing/pointing.html. The HD7694P antenna will supply signal to 3 tv's. Here are places to buy antennas and etc. , http://www.solidsignal.com http://www.amazon.com , http://www.starkelectronic.com , http://www.3starinc.com

It will have adequate gain and it will be much easier to mount on a satellite 'J' pole than larger antennas. The satellite coax can be reused if water has not entered the coax.

Thanks! Will look at those places and the antenna recommended.
