I'm trying to be polite. Help me be a good boy and not use short words
We cut the cable and starting to work with OTA. Being a newbie and waiting for my account to validate here I had already ordered the MoHo Sky. While waiting for that I thought "what the heck" and try connecting to the 40 year old rooftop antenna. Well, using that ancient antenna and equally ancient busied coax I was able to get between 88% and 99% signal meter strength for the stations I cared about most. Doh.
The MoHo arrive and like a good boy I tested it indoors...worked than move it to the rooftop and using new coax to the set it gave 33% to a max of 60% signal meter strength no matter how I aimed it (from same rooftop location as the old antenna which sits a good 10 feet above my roof peak).
Well this thing is going back to where it came from. Color me not impressed.
Now I'm going to purchase whatever you guys say such as the basic Radio Shack antennas, new coax and be happy. Sheesh.
I'll post my location analysis in the appropriate place soon.
Thanks.
