I see their channels on your list, just not on the radar.

That is a very impressive TVF. All in one big cluster, too.

I'd have to recommend the Winegard 7698P.

I would avoid the Lava, or any antenna that claims 125-150 mile range.

As far as common consumer grade antennae go, Winegard 4 and 8 bay are pretty good.

As far as some rinky dink HOA rules are concerned, they are dead wrong.

A rotor will only work, if your tuner allows you to ADD channels.

Some tuners will only allow a complete scan, which can erase the channels detected on the first scan.

Same thing if you use an...

Other considerations when drilling rivets, would be the drilling melting the plastic brackets and the rivet just spinning.
I always try to drill the mushroomed end of the rivet, if it's accessible.

A rotor is only helpful, if your tuner allows you to add channels, VS a complete rescan.
Otherwise, you wipe out the channels you,ve previously scanned for.

A damaged amp will perform worse than no amp at all. Keep swapping out and inspecting connectors. Rubber boots and silicone grease, are a must, as are drip loops.
