Wireless Engineer and Rabbit73,

Hello gentlemen. I really appreciated you taking your time to offer suggestions and answer a few questions on my antenna project. So I wanted to close the loop by reporting back on the results of our new system.

I installed a grounded 10’ mast to the top of my chimney and mounted an Antennas Direct C2 antenna.

I’ve installed Channel Master’s DVR+ broadcast antenna receiver which gives us DVR capability of our broadcast channels and also an onscreen two week program guide. The Channel Master DVR+ works very well and really helped make the new system feel very “cable like” without the a monthly bill. Great product!

Via antenna, we receive all the major networks plus others totaling about 23 channels. There are a few programs that we enjoy that are not available over the air in our area. So for about $20/mo we added Netflix and Hulu internet streamed content providers to supplement what is available via broadcast. We also signed up for Vudu (no monthly fee) which is a pay per view channel that also has numerous free to watch TV shows and movies.

Even adding the streamed content providers, we’ve been able to reduce our monthly expense by about $150 per month and I think our new system gives us better viewing content than what we had with cable.

Thanks again for taking the time to support us broadcast antenna newbies!
