Hello,
Switching from satellite back to the good old antenna
Tried it last night and very impressed with the picture quality. Excited to save some $$!
Here is my report

We have an older radio shack rotating antenna (disc style, looks like a UFO - sorry don't know what it's called) mounted on the roof. Our house still has the really old antenna tower on it so we can move it higher (up to 25 or 30 feet, likely). Out in the country, so minimal obstructions. We got some channels when we tried it, but had to move the antenna to get more. Then we had to rescan for channels through the tv. Would like a system where we don't have to move anything to get the max amount of channels.
Do we need any sort of amplifier? What equipment recommendations do you have? Absolutely must get CTV and TVO ... NBC, CBC, ABC and PBS would be fantastic.
Thanks for all your help. (And don't worry, my hubby is way more literate in this stuff than I am and he will be doing all the installation and technical stuff. It's just my job to go on a 'parts run'!
