I just got my notice that comcast will be encrypting my basic channels. I'm
looking to get setup with OTA channels. I played around with a local
station and a "paperclip" antenna and things seem to be working well. I
need advise on a proper antenna and I know there are several variables to
consider. I have researched these two sites:
http://antennaweb.org
http://www.tvfool.com
I have gotten alot of useful info but I really need to find out which will
be the best antenna since a lot of effort goes into getting the unit,
setup, etc... and I don't want to return one if possible.
This is the info per tvfool:
channel NM Power Path Miles Azimuth VHF UHF
43 64.2 -26.6 LOS 3.5 91 95 X
19 42.1 -48.7 LOS 27.3 112 117 X
8 37.6 -53.3 1Edge 25.6 19 23 X
49 21.9 -69 2Edge 46.1 4 8 X
51 21.6 -69.2 2Edge 46.1 4 8 X
11 21.4 -69.5 2Edge 46.6 4 8 X
26 21.3 -69.5 2Edge 47.5 5 9 X
47 19.5 -71.3 2Edge 47.5 5 9 X
It seems that a two antenna setup should work:
antenna 1 (UHF) Indoor Multi-Directional
channels 19 and 43
antenna 2 (VHF & UHF) Rooftop Large Directional
channels 8,11,26,47,49,51
Please let me know your thoughts.
