Antenna reccomendations
 

Link to my report: http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...134957e3f72100

I was looking at Antennas Direct DB8. Would I be able to pull in all of the US channels and PBS with this? Plan to use a 10 foot 1.5" galvanized steel post as a mast and attach it to my brick chimney. Mounted like this this antenna would be about 20-25' above ground. I estimate I would need about 75-100 feet of RG6 cabling to run to the TV in the basement.

I think the DB8 will have too narrow a forward beam. The new DB4e has very similar gain but wider forward beam specifications. Start with a beginning aim point of about 190° compass.

If you want to go after the signal from WVNY-ABC, you'll be needing to use an Antennacraft Y10713 or possibly a horizontally stacked pair due to the co-channel interference from CFCF on CH-12.

WVNY Real VHF channel 13 is the weakest of the receivable American stations. If WVNY is not received install a Antennas Direct CPA-19 preamp.

Will I be able to get the PBS channels with a DB4-E? It's still on backorder but due to be in stock later this week. Do I need to ground this antenna and if so how? Plan to buy a 40" J Mount and attach to the roof peak.

WETK (PBS) should be receivable with the DB4e when the antenna is properly aimed.

Are you able to adjust each side of the DB8 to different directions?
