Boise ?????

Hi,
I live at ____________ Drive in Boise Idaho, and am wondering if the MS2000 would be a good antenna for that location.  Would you be able to tell me if it would work well there?
Thanks,
John

I took a look at the stations at your location. I do have one concern because of the close proximity of the transmitters to your location, 8 within 10 miles. Any amplified antenna may overload under those conditions. The MS 2000 TV antenna may work I can't say it won't. However I am more comfortable recommending either the Winegard PR 7015 TV antenna or the HD 7080P TV antenna without an amplifier pointed at 30 degrees. The HD 7080 antenna is more durable than the PR 7015. Under normal conditions you can expect the PR 7015 to last from 10 to 15 years and the HD 7080 can give 20 plus years of service. Of course you are welcome to try the MS 2000 and return it for a refund or full credit towards an additional purchase.
>
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 rather then the 7015 or the HD 7080P antennas. See the HD Stacker antenna

I examined the reception conditions and found the EZ-HD TV antenna to be the perfect choice. This antenna is designed to receive channels 7 and up. All of your digital signals are and will be on channels 8 and higher. The low powered stations you mentioned are all broadcasting on the UHF band 14-69 making the EZ-HD the correct choice. The antenna can be installed in a stationary position with the narrower end of the antenna pointing South/Southeast. If there are no signal blocking materials such as metal, brick or masonry in your attic in the Southeasterly direction to the transmitters I think an attic installation will work.

To supply 2 TV locations I suggest the HDP 269 preamplifier for the absolute best results.
>
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.

I am interested in your recommendation for an antenna.

1. _____________ Lane, Nampa, Idaho  83687
2. We'll have 4 tv's running off this antenna -- all have coax connections already wired.  Given the number of TVs and the fact that some are at the other end of the house from where the antenna will be positioned, do you think we'll need an amplifier.  I have read conflicting opinions on this.
3. I imagine, yes, we'll be using this antenna for analog reception -- currently we only have rabbit ears on the tv sets.
4. I intend to install the antenna on the roof.
5. The stations we want are 23.7 miles from our home, we live in a moderately rural area.  All but one of the stations are in the yellow bandwidth, one dark green.  There is an airport 1.5 miles to the west of us.  Antennaweb says our antenna should be positioned at 44 degrees on the compass.  We do have large trees to the west of us, but that should not interfere with the antenna receiving from the east/northeast.

Please let me know what recommendations you have.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

I examined the reception data from two separate sources and there's no doubt your best choice is the EZ-HD TV antenna. The antenna can be installed in a fixed position with the narrower end of the antenna pointing Northeast. this position will provide you with great reception for both the analog and =igital signals.
>
To supply all 4 TV locations I suggest the DA 25 distribution amplifier installed ahead of the signal splitter on the antenna side. The best location for the DA 25 is no closer then 25 feet in cable length of the antenna and no further then 60.

Post Falls 83854

Hello, was wondering if you could tell me what antenna would work best in Post Falls, Id 83854. Also was considering putting it up in the rafters of the garage. Any input would be helpful.

Greetings Brian,

Your main broadcast channels come from two directions. You have Coeur d'Alene stations at 68 degrees at a distance of 10 miles, Spokane stations at 227 and 314 degrees at a distance of about 20 miles and a few others in various other directions. All of these channels are within range of the Winegard MS 2000 omnidirectional TV antenna. The only concern I have with this recommendation is multi path interference. The Coeur d'Alene stations will be strong and may reflect off materials nearby the antenna causing double imaging or shadowing when the antenna is placed in the attic. I certainly would try it there but understand it may have to be mounted outside if this occurs Another alternative is a small directional antenna such as the Winegard PR 7015 TV antenna along with a antenna rotor or without a rotor if you desire only one of the above mentioned broadcasting markets.
