Tucson Phoenix Antennas

Folks,

Thank you very much for your quick and detailed responses!

John - I was not aware of the Roku box. My internet speed (down) is only about 1.0 Mbps and QWEST says that I don't have faster options due to my location. I will research this some more and possibly get a Roku if my DSL situation improves.

Elmo - Yes, the RCA antenna has served us well. I paid about $50 for it here in Tucson and it may very well be the same antenna that you have.

Tigerbangs - Wow! Thanks for the details and recommendations. I had a rotator at the old house and unfortunately it only lasted about a year. I don't know if it was the Tucson desert heat or the winds that blow through the valley during thunderstorms but it locked up and died pretty quickly. I like your idea of a dual antenna setup with preamp. Do you think that with careful alignment, I could get away with your antenna/preamp setup without the rotator?

Best regards,
Eb
