Tv Antennas and Tv Reception

No rotor is required to receive the USA and Canada Tv stations.
Ok a big thank you for WICU-DT 12 that has made it much easier to receive NBC , CW , CBS , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WICU-TV. WQLN 50 PBS , WJET-TV 24 ABC , WNYB 26 Religion , are of the same direction as WICU . For reception of the American stations aim a Winegard HD9095P antenna with a Winegard AP8275 preamp at about 156 degree magnetic compass .

And Now for the Canada Digital Tv stations , install a Antennas Direct Clear Stream 2 Complete with a Winegard AP8275 preamp , aimed at about 270 degree magnetic compass for reception of the Canada Tv stations to the north/east and west.

Here is how to aim antennas , http://www.kyes.com/antenna/pointing/pointing.html. .
The antennas should be mounted no lower the 40 feet and preferably at 60 feet . You can try reception of the USA and Canada stations at 25 feet and this will give you an indication of what to do next. .

This is 2 Separate antenna systems that Will Not be connected togeather on to one coax.

The 2 Separate systems and coaxes will go to the location of the Tv and be connected to a remote control A/B antenna switch , http://mcmelectronics.com , # 32-4425 , http://www.saveandreplay.com , has the same A/B switch. . The output of the A/B switch is connected to the Tv.

Here are some places to buy antennas and etc. http://www.saveandreplay.com , http://www.trentondistributors.com , http://www.amazon.ca , http://www.canadapost.ca/shopper , http://www.amazon.com , http://www.solidsignal.com , http://www.antennasdirect.com/store/...VHF-Combo.html , http://www.winegarddirect.com.
