Outdoor antennas not allowed in my community
Okay,
I get the message. The same one I give to my kids, I need to practice myself. Thanks for the support.
I just found out that my HOA does not allow antennas on the roof-tops (still trying to argue with them). So my only option is attic for now. Today I raised the antenna all the way to the ceiling using a pool rod (about 20 feet). I then did a signal strength meter testing using Windows Media Center 7. 26.1 is only 2 bars of out 5 or 6. Which possibly means that if I could raise it a bit more I may have a chance. I am going to try the attic this week which will give me another 10 feet.
On that note, is there a recommended antenna that has better sensitivity than DB8e? Bigger?? I don't mind paying more for the setup if that helps. I would recover the cost in 2-3 years.
I am also going to buy GroundUrMast's recommendation of the RCA pre-amp, and buy a better coax cable. Any recommendations?
Also, can I just plug the cable from the antenna into any Coax outlet, and expect to have the signal in another room? Or do I have to feed the antenna cable into the junction box where Comcast comes in? Sorry! If this is a stupid question.
Cheers.
