I live in rural north east Georgia and wish to get better tv reception. I currently have a set of amplified rabbit ears that do a pretty good job but I want something stonger. Our zip is 30520. I have a two story house with chimney that I can mount the antenna. Most of the stations are 40-70 miles away with a few in the 80 mile range and they are in all directions. Some SW towards Athens & Atlanta, GA and some NE towards Anderson & Greenville, SC and some to the North in Toccoa,GA & Ashville, NC. Would you reccomend the HD7084 that you sell as a good one for our use or would something else be better. Also being that I live in the country where no one can even see my house and there is no neighborhood code or antenna restriction what size pole would you reccomend so that I could get the best possible reception. I could mount it from the ground or from my chimney. Please let me know and I will get back with you about purchasing what I need.

Thanks

The HD 7084P TV antenna would be the absolute best choice at your location. I also recommend the Winegard AP 8700 preamplifier. As far as the pole goes I wouldn't extend it more than 5 or 6 feet above the last support bracket of the chimney mount. A few feet height won't make any noticeable difference in reception. The 7084 should easily provide excellent reception at your location.

Best Regards,

Denny

How does the pre amplifier get power and is it inside or outside of the house?

The preamplifier receives its power from the power injector located in the house via the coax cable. Check out our website page selecting the proper TV antenna preamplifier. You may also want to check out our page how to assemble an HD 7084P antenna.
I'm here if you have anymore questions.

I live in the 30310
zip and many 50-60 foot trees surround my house. Which antenna do
you recommend. Thank you. David W _________

Greetings David,

I examined your reception data and found that the miniMAX antenna is a great choice if you will be using the antenna for analog recetion. If you have upgraded to digital reception then a better choice is the EZ-HD TV antenna. The miniMAX is designed for channels 2 and up. The EZ-HD antenna is designed for channels 7 and up. All of the digital broadcasts in your area are on channels above 7 and all stations in your area currently have a digital signal.

With either antenna I suggest the AP 8700 preamplifier. A rotor may be needed for analog reception to aim the antenna but digital reception I doubt a rotor will be needed. For digital reception the antenna can be installed in a fixed position with the narrow end pointing East/Northeast.

If it were me I would convert to digital reception now if you haven't already and use the smaller EZ-HD TV antenna and forget the rotor.

I am very confident that this equipment properly installed (I'm here to help if you need it) will provide you with excellent reception for both analog and digital/HD signals.

If you would like step by step detailed information on how to install the equipment, or if I can assist you in anyway, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Hi Denny,
>
I've been reviewing your site and am happy to find an expert like you. A few months ago we moved into a new house only to find the local cable company will not be installing the lines in our community until late 2008. Upon looking into DishTV & DirecTV we learned the satellite dish would need to be installed on the front of our home, but not an option for us.

The last two months we've been using a Phillips Indoor TV Antenna with electrical back-up boost. However, the non-digital stations are grainy and sometimes blurry while the HDTV/Digital channels take in frequent pixillation.
>
Would you please recommend an outdoor antenna? I suspect we might need one that would have a motor to turn since we enjoy watching various channels. Also, what other equipment would we need so we could have multiple tv's viewing different channels with one antenna? I presume we'll connect the coax from the antenna to the external coax for CableTV...?

Your help is immensely appreciated!

Your absolute best bet for consistent quality digital/HD and analog reception is the miniMAX TV antenna. This antenna is the smallest antenna available that will provide good signal gain on the entire bandwidth channels 2 - 69. Along with the antenna I suggest the Winegard HDP 269 antenna preamplifier. This preamplifier offers enough amplification for use with a signal splitter with up to 4 outputs. If you will be using a larger signal splitter additional amplification may be required. The most popular kind of mount with this antenna is the 18" J-pole.

It depends on your particular viewing habits on whether or not you will need a motor to turn the antenna.

With the antenna installed in a stationary position with the narrow end pointing South you can receive the following stations clearly.
>

Analog reception - MNT 36, NBC 11, CW 69, CBS 46, TBS 17, PBS 30, ABC 2, FOX 5, BOX 40, and AZA 4. The remainder of the stations will come in with varying degrees of quality. The remaining channels are REL 57, ION 14, TBN 55, and UNI 34. If these channels are desired an antenna rotor is likely to be needed.

Digital Reception. I believe all of the Atlanta area digital stations will come in perfectly with the antenna installed pointing South in a stationary direction.

The installation order would go like this. Run coax cable from the TV antenna output to the mast mounted preamplifier input. From the preamplifier output to the ground block that should be installed on the coax down lead just before it enters your home. From the ground block to the coax cable for cable TV that leads into your home. Indoors before the signal splitter install the preamplifier power supply that is included with the preamplifier. The power supply requires an electrical outlet. From the power supply output to the signal splitter input.

Last but not least, a ground wire should be ran from the ground block to a suitable ground and from the antenna mount itself to a ground.
