Putting both antennas on my chimney might be a problem then. I will need a longer pole and I'm worried about the sheer stress this would put on the brick. I started
another thread on how I can set a mast on a concrete footing.
I did try mounting the RCA ANT-751 on the front of the shed. There's a decent LOS at 140" but it's only about 12' high and there are houses to the left and right. All I got were a few local channels. (No pre-amp, RG6 coaxial, iView tuner)
2.1, 6.1, 12.1, 15.1, 15.2, 17.1 (CIVM-HD), 35.1.
Funny enough, when I had my homemade bow-tie antenna mounted in the same place (front of the shed), I was able to pick up NBC, CBS and PBS.
I did try scanning the channels manually. The iView shows the signal strength with colored dots. I listed them below. But it would not allow me to save or select any of the channels that had a signal to see if there was a picture.
Anyway next step is to figure out how to install an antenna mast so I can put up the digiwave and get the RCA a little higher.
