My name is Chris and, after several years and failed attempts, am ready to ditch cable TV. Here is my tvfool report
http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...e1c6a7ef72d957 My house faces east and, without a few trees, have LOS to the ABC/PBS transmitter.
I have tried simple rabbit ears, amplified set top units, and a homemade Gray Hoverman and can get ABC, PBS, and Fox with any of them. My wife is onboard with ditching the cable if I can reliably get NBC which I've not been able to pull in. My own OCD demands I also get CBS (which was iffy with my previous attempts). I did put the Gray on the deck (about 12' off the ground) and it didn't make much difference.
I am overwhelmed with the options for roof mounted antennas and am hoping someone can help narrow them down. I am also unsure if I'd need any pre or post amplifiers. I have 3 TVs but the kids have become used to only having a Roku hooked up so I'm looking at 2 TVs on opposite ends of the house from each other. Cable run from the roof would be about 50' to splitter then another 40' to the furthest TV. The convenient location where the cable already comes in is also where the main power comes into the house.
To recap. I'm looking for suggestions on an antenna that will pull in NBC reliably based on the report posted above.
Thanks in advance,
Chris
