What type of antenna is best for the 2Edge path?
|
Often the mounting location will be as important as the antenna type. In the clear, a smaller antenna with less directivity and gain will likely do better than a large high gain in an attic or obstructed by trees or a building. On your TVF Report, the list of station call-signs are HTML links to a profile of the terrain between the transmitter, displayed on the left and your location shown on the right. Your report indicates 2-edge paths, true, but they are not severe. Your report indicates good to excellent signal levels. I agree with JC's antenna suggestion (provided WTVF intends to continue operation on real channel 5, an HD7696P by the same vendor would offer access to the WTVF translator on real channel 50 with virtually identical performance on channels 7 - 69).

...how are other people picking up these analog stations? Do they have a tuner that passes the analog signals through to their old sets?
|
Some set-top converter boxes offer 'analog-pass-through'. When turned off, signals are passed through from the STB antenna 'in' port to the antenna 'out' port. All new consumer televisions sold in the US, able to receive QAM (CATV digital), are required to include the ability to tune and display NTSC (OTA & CATV analog) and ATSC (OTA digital).
