He would like to get all of the 'major' channels here in Canada but DOES NOT want a rotor.

His expectations are not realistic. It would require a CATV tower. Where will the antennas be located, inside or outside?



I am always amazed when someone wants a simple system that duplicates what a CATV system does with multiple antennas, amplifiers, and modulators costing thousands of dollars. You will need to cut back on your expectations and settle for improving one direction or be prepared to spend a lot of time and money building a system that does what you want.

Looking at this report I said he can realistically receive:

CJOH-TV (6)
to
WWTI-DT (21 (50.1)

I agree.

I believe he can pick up:
CJOH-TV
CICO_DT
CIII-DT (27.1)
CKWS-DT (11.1)
CHEX-DT (12.1)
CIII-TV 2
via a omindirectional antenna like a:
Channel Master CM3000

Nice try, but the preamp in the CM3000 will be overloaded by analog CJOH.

We are thinking of a:
ANTENNAS DIRECT DB8E
With one bay pointed at the 97~101° direction
And another bay pointed at the 188° direction

The DB8E does have panels that can be aimed in different directions. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.

In spite of some glowing reviews, the antenna with two panels, each aimed in a different direction, often doesn't work. When the same signals from each antenna panel reach the combining point, they can interfere with each other if they are not in phase.

Is this possible?

Yes, but it would require a lot of time and more money than he would want to spend.

Don't do this, it isn't legal:

To rotate, or not to rotate.
