TV Antenna Selection for Connecticut


Hartford 06111
 
I want to get a quality antenna to receive hdtv and eliminate my satalite service. My zip code is 06111, Hartford, Connecticut. From your web site I have narrowed my choice to three antennas and prefer to not use a rotator. 1) a winegard HD7082 for quality and strong signal. 2) a winegard MS2000 for ease of instalation and 3) a vhf antenna for my channel 8 and a uhf antenna for all other station installed on the same mast. Which would be my best choice for quality reception. Thanks for your help and all the info I've already read at your web site. Ralph.
 
Greetings Ralph,
Over the air HDTV is awesome.
Because you have several channels less than 10 miles away I would rule out the MS 2000. The MS 2000 most likely would struggle with signal overload issues and you would probably experience digital signal drop out. I would also rule out two antennas this can many times cause some of the same issues. I would be afraid you would experience cross modulation in your digital tuner using two antennas in that manner (one station interfering with another). Also according to the FCC when the digital transition is complete in 2009 you will have two VHF channels.
Your stations are approximately 60 degrees apart. I believe you can use the HD 7082 TV antenna aimed somewhere between the two locations and receive them all. You may or may not need a preamplifier. If you do the amplifier of choice would be the Winegard HD 269 antenna preamplifier it's designed specificly for your conditions. I would try it without the preamplifier unless it would be difficult to add one at the antenna at a later date if so I would recommend a preamplifier from the start.
If I can assist you further please don't hesitate to contact me.
Denny
