Hi there,
I need help figuring out what equipment I would need to be able to get a digital signal to my house, and would appreciate any advice y’all could give me. I saw the tigerbang setup thread, but read that it was outdated in later posts.
Noob here. Please forgive me, I know VERY LITTLE about this stuff, but am a quick learner (as long as layman’s terms are used), and am handy. I just couldn’t figure out what all the tvfool page was telling me. I think all the channels I want are in teh green area. I know I’m a little over 66 miles from the nearest transmitter (Mt. Wilson, in Los Angeles). I am ready to ditch Dish Network at the end of the year, but am a little apprehensive about canceling the account if I can’t receive a digital signal from an antenna.

Let’s see what other info might be helpful: I have a 2 story house, no tall buildings (3+ stories) or humongous trees nearby. My house is Cat-5 wired. We live in a tract with CCRs within city limits, so I don’t know what kind of (unenforced?) limits I have on mast height if mounted outside. We currently have 3 tvs, but as the kids grow up, would need 5 eventually…if splitting makes a difference. We have a Roku unit for one of the tvs as well.
Would I mount outside or in the attic?
Thanks so much in advance! It's all pretty daunting to me at this point.
Michael
