Thanks for the reply, I appreciate the help.
I did not realize that there would be a 60% decrease from the HBU55 over the HBU33. That seems pretty significant. When I first hooked up the HBU55 to test it, I did not have the tail section attached, so it was only about half the length. However, even though it did not have the tail section it was still picking up all of the Denver stations. Not sure if half of the HBU55 would be equivalent to a full HBU33?? Or is there a better antenna to use than the AntennaCraft units?
I am mainly interested in the Denver stations at 320 degrees.
I plan on mounting the antenna on the roof, so it would be at least 20 - 25 ft higher than where I was testing on the ground.
There is no real clear view to the horizon because of the trees, but there is a break in the trees for a 100 yards or so where I will be pointing to the Denver towers.
I will be feeding 2 TVs, possibly 3 at some time in the future.
The cable run from the antenna to an equipment room in the basement is about 60 ft.
From the equipment room I would split and connect into the existing coax to each TV. The run to TV1 is about another 45 ft and the run to TV2 is about another 50 ft from the equipment room. So the total run from TV1 to antenna is about 105 ft.
Interesting about the HOA.
Thanks for all of your help. There is a lot more here to learn than meets the eye. I'm grateful that we have a good community of people here on tvfool to turn for help.
