Hi Guys - I just took delivery of a new Tivo Roamio OTA and I'm now getting ready to order my antennas & other equipment. I was looking a little closer at my signal analysis (post #1) and realized that I have 2 VHF Hi signals that I care about:
- WJBK, FOX, real channel 7, 4.2 miles, LOS, -20dBm, 232* magn
- CBET, CBC, real channel 9, 26.3 miles, LOS, -59dBm, 164* magn
I'm planning to go with a Y5713 + DB8e + UVSJ + ~20' RG6 to my first splitter and primary TV/Tivo for the house. I only have about 4' of vertical clearance in the attic to work with.
Per the specs published on the Y5713, it looks like the 1/2 power range is 55*. My 2 channels are 68* apart. Should I be looking for a less directional VHF Hi antenna that can cover the spread? Or do you think with WJBK being so close (4 miles, -20dBm), I'll pick it up w/o even trying? How would you aim to best cover these 2 station with that one yagi?
Last question -- It seems like no one carries the Pico UVSJ anymore. Solid Signal doesn't even promise the brand they'll ship. Are they still the best source for these things? It feels like I'm searching for something that no longer exists! Would prefer Amazon, but will order from the best source.
Thanks.
