Hi Denny, I live Atlanta/Gresham Park area and am looking for the best antenna. My address is __________ Wee Kirk Rd. SE. 30316. I plan to connect all 3 TV's to the antenna and drop my cable TV service. Here are my questions.
What is the best antenna?
Do I need an amplifier?
Can I connect to the cable tv coax cable that's already in place?
Thank you in advance-Billy D_________.

Hello Billy,

All of the reception data indicates that the signals are quite strong at your location. The Atlanta TV stations use both high band VHF (7-13) and UHF (14-51) to broadcast the signals. Channels 2 ABC and 5 FOX both moved their digital signal to the UHF band. They will both show on your TV tuner as 2.1 and 5.1 but that only represents the old analog broadcast number. The lowest RF broadcast frequency in the Atlanta area is now PBS WGTV broadcasting on channel 8 and NBC WXIA is broadcasting on channel 10.

The best all around antenna choice for you is the EZ HD antenna. This antenna has been designed specifically to receive to receive high band VHF and UHF signals. Assuming a 3 or 4 way signal splitter is being used to divide the signal to the 3 TV locations I recommend the HDA 100 distribution amplifier. Install the HDA 100 within a 50 foot coax cable run from the antenna on the antenna side of the signal splitter. If a 6 or 8 way splitter is installed use the HDA 200 amplifier in place of the HDA 100.

The antenna can be installed in a stationary position with the narrower end of the antenna aiming North. This position will provide you with excellent recetion on all of the Atlanta area TV stations.

If I can assist you further please don't hesitate to contact me.

Best Regards,
Denny

Canon 30520

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 stronger. 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 recommend 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 recommend 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.

UPDATE:
The above recommendation was made about 3 years ago. Since that time the HD Stacker antenna has been designed and is now on the market. My recommendation now would be for the HD Stacker antenna. See the HD Stacker antenna

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 antennais a great choice if you will be using the antenna for analog reception. 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!

Thanks,

Your absolute best bet for consistent quality digital/HD and analog reception is the EZ HD 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.
