Please do not get my recommendations mixed up with other recommendations.

Ok , for Central VA. at your parents location.

NO ROTOR Required.

When folowing my recommendations , wipe the word rotor from your mind.

There are currently No Digital VHf low band channels 2 thru 6 to receive , at your parents house.

There for can use a antenna that does not receive the VHF low band , a HD7697P antenna.

However Yes you can still use a All channel antenna , HD7084P antenna.

The HD7084P antenna is a All channel antenna and as such will be ready for what ever Tv stations/channels are transmitted now or in the future.

The antenna mounts that I recommended for your location can also be used here at your parents location.

The North East Group of Tv stations/channels has a Full Line Up of Network Channels and many more will be received. NBC , CBS , ABC , PBS , FOX , The CW , MyNetwork , ION , and , many , many , more will be received.

So install a Winegard HD7697P antenna , (or HD7084P antenna) , with a Channel Master CM 7778 preamp aimed at about 50 degree magnetic compass direction.

For 1 Tv connection use no splitter.

For 2 Tv's connected use , HFS-2D.

3 Tv's , HFS-3D.

4 Tv's , HFS-4D.


The Tv/s Must Channel Scan for the Digital Broadcast Tv Channels sometimes named the 'Air Channels' or 'Antenna Channels' in the Tv setup menu because the Tv transmissions travel through the air from the transmitting antenna to the receiving antenna.


DO NOT channel scan for cable tv channels.


The south east group and south west group of Tv stations/channels Do Not look like a full line up of channels.

You can spend a weekend experimenting with the HD7697P antenna and see if the south east and south west groups of Tv stations/channels are worth installing a second antenna for.
