Any advice for this plot?
What more information do you need to advise me on possible solutions to cutting the cable. Currently paying for satellite but finding that most of what we watch could be serviced by this and the internet.

Trying a indoor antenna now(RCA ANT1450B) and getting very intermittent CKAL and CICT if I hang it.

Thinking a roof top box might be the way to go. Thoughts on a directional RCA ANT751?

Thanks

Your signal conditions call for a considerably larger antenna than the ANT-751R. I would use an Antennas Direct DB8E or similar 8-bay panel antenna. A rotator should not be needed. Outdoor mounting that avoids obstructions is strongly advised.

Hi Dingle,

Is 5' your anticipated antenna height?

If not, rerun your map at the projected height and see if any values change.

Cheers.
