[H] HDTV antennas
What are you all using for HDTV OTA antennas? I just moved and need a new one. I was using the boomerang shaped Terk one that sits on your TV. It worked fine in the old place, but the new place is behind a huge hill that blocks the OTA signal. -- Brian
RE: [H] HDTV antennas
Terk is overpriced shit. Rat shack will have what you are looking for. Your best bet is a multi-element outdoor UHF antenna.

Better yet go to http://www.antennaweb.org/ for a discussion of HDTV antennae links of where to get them cheaper than RS. --+-- Wayne D. Johnson Ashland, OH, USA 44805 http://www.wavijo.com

Yep, just went there. Totally forgo about that site since I was there the first time 2 years ago :) Currently looking at this http://www.antennasdirect.com/SR15_hdtv_antenna.html I live in Colorado Springs so snow and high winds are an issue. AntennaWeb says I need a red antenna - medium gain directional. All my channels are coming from the same exact location - its just behind a big hill :( The only hitch is that I have 3 HD OTA UHF channels but one (CBS) that broadcasts in the high VHF. Supposedly a good UHF antenna will be able to pick it up but we will see. On 1/20/06, Wayne Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: At 10:40 AM 1/20/2006, Hayes Elkins typed: Terk is overpriced shit.

I'm looking at http://www.antennasdirect.com/91XG_HDTV_Antenna.html as I have RS's best VHS antenna now it doesn't pull in CBS from Cleveland as well as it does the Fox station which is right around the corner so they just aren't putting out the power I'm hoping a better antenna will do the trick. --+-- Wayne D.
