Recommend an antenna

Hi,
http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...b1a8e8fc64452b
shows me that I have various channels to choose from in Ft. Meyers and Tampa. At 25-30 feet, which antenna(s) would you suggest I install (with rotor) for best reception? Thank you.

Tv Antennas and Tv Reception

Tvfool is accurate for your reception. A rotor is not required.

A simple reception situation. A ANT751 or ANT751R antenna mounted above the roof and aimed at about 338 degree magnetic compass will receive all the digital Tv stations/channels that are in the green and yellow zones of the digital Tv listing for the Current Plus Pending Applications Included of the tvfool radar plot.

Here is how to aim antennas , http://www.kyes.com/antenna/pointing/pointing.html .



Here are some antenna mounts , http://www.ronard.com/909911.html , http://www.ronard.com/34424560.html , http://www.ronard.com/ychim.html , http://www.ronard.com.
Buy the ronard antenna mounts at solidsignal by typing the word ronard in the solidsignal search box or buy from ronard.

The ANT751 or ANT751R is not a very directional antenna and will receive the groups of Tv stations to the north/west and south.

Or install a Clear Stream 2 Complete , with the reflector screen removed and it will receive the groups of Tv stations to the north/west and south. http://www.antennasdirect.com/store/...VHF-Combo.html.

Or can do it like this , aim a Antenna Craft Y5713 at the north/west group of Tv stations.
And aim a Antenna Craft U4000 at the north/west group of Tv stations and then lift the metal clips that hold the reflector rods of the U4000 in the horizontal position and rotate the reflector rods to the vertical position , this gets the reflector rods out of the way so the , >< , shaped reception elements will receive both directions , the north/west and south.

Combine the 2 antennas with a UVSJ = UHF/VHF Separator/Joiner. Type the letters UVSJ in the solidsignal search box. . http://www.antennacraft.net.

No matter what Tv antenna/s is/are used the Tv/s Must scan for the Digital Broadcast Tv Transmissions some times named the 'Antenna Channels' or 'Air Channels' in the Tv setup menu because the Tv transmissions travel through the air from the transmitting antenna to the receiving antenna.

Do Not scan for cable tv channels.
