I have 2 questions: One is updating this question from this thread and the other is for my friend who just moved into a new home located here:
http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...073b095b150248
She wants to use only antenna & services like Netflix. There is an antenna laying down in the attic above the new 2nd floor addition that didn't have a brand on it, but from googling pix of them, I thought it looked like a Wineguard, then decided it looks like a Channel Master #3671 or 3679. It is not hooked up to anything. The roof is too low for the antenna to stand upright. She has an old walk-in attic above the original part of the home that would be high enough, but wonders if its best to put this on the roof?
The other question is one I have researched for my own antenna & was posted under this thread in January -
I have researched off and on for a year for a way I could unhook my Dish Coax Cable and attach it instead to an antenna so the existing cables that are installed to 4 rooms in our house could be utilized. I found that this was possible so I took the small indoor home-made antenna I made and attached it to my Dish coax and it actually worked. I wonder if anyone has any suggestions/tips on doing this (I did find out that I needed to remove the sattellite splicers and if needed, replace with regular ones).
I have 2 Dynex HD TVs; one is DX-42E250A12, the other is a 24" one. I live out in the country away from tall buildings, but we have several trees surrounding our home. It is a 2 story home, so I estimate the antenna would be placed at about 20-25' High. I am currently receiving good reception on UHF channels, but no VHF ones so I will be needing to purchase a far-reaching antenna (like the ones already recommended - or maybe there is something better out there now - like smaller units that aren't an eye-sore on our home??)
I am re-asking this question as my friend wants to do the same with her antenna & Dish cable. She lives in the middle of a small town, away from tall buildings, but has tall trees around her home. It is a 2 story home so again, probably will be 20-25' High. She has an Hitcha Ultravision 37HLX99; V6K001 and a VIZIO M260VA; LJLNGGAL3418622 (I think - letters were so very small!!)
Thanks for any and all suggestions! Lori
