Im in the market for an HD antenna or any antenna that would receive both signals but I want to know if I will be able to pick up any channels and is it worth the money. I live in Bozeman, Mt and have the HD package already but I only get CBS I want the other local HD channels but Bresnan doesn't offer them. What do you suggest?

> Greetings Zeb,
> I will be happy to investigate your channel availability at your location. I will need at least your zip code and if you don't mind your address. All information is kept strictly confidential and will not be given to anyone for any reason. Best Regards,

Thanks again

> Zeb,
> The channels you would receive with the MS 2000 omnidirectional are KBZK CBS - KUSM PBS - K34FI NBC - KBTZ FOX - KWYB ABC
> You may receive some of the Butte channels with the MS 2000 depending on the channels transmitting power and terrain between the transmitter and your location. The stations in Butte are repeats of the same networks as you have in Bozeman.

> Dennis,
Is there any antenna's that arn't outside and plug behind the tv? that would pick up these stations?

> Zeb,
> If your looking to receive just the Bozeman digital/HDTV channels I would recommend the Winegard Sharp Shooter TV antenna. The Sharp Shooter is designed specifically to receive local HDTV. We have had pretty good luck with this antenna indoors when the channels are twenty to thirty miles away. Your channels are all within 20 miles. Denny

> Dennis,
Are they easy to hook up? and If so what is the process.
Thanks

> Zeb,
> They are fairly simple to hook up. A few parts to assemble on the antenna and a couple of wires to hook up. You can view Winegards installation instructions for the Sharp Shooter on this page http://www.winegard.com/offair/pdf/2452064.pdf Its in pdf format and may take a couple of minutes to open if your using dial up connection.

I live in Montana, =bout 10 miles N of Great Falls
Address: _____________ Rd.
Floweree, Mt. 59440
Channels are from 7 up =tarting with HDTV mandate.
Direction is from 191 =egrees to 238 degrees.
Distance is from 9 - =3 miles.
All are within 11 miles =xcept one (if the duplicates are deleted).
All are between =91degrees and 205 degrees if one local channel is left out.
NOW THE QUESTION: with 3 =Vs on different floors, which antenna is best.
Do I need an amplifier/preamplifier etc., would an omni-directional antenna work =nd or could 2 antennas (a directional and an omni-directional together) to avoid a rotor.
We have a lot of wind =nd have lost several elements off our current antenna (a durable antenna is a must).
I think I would have =ess maintenance issues without a rotor.
I could set up off the =oof ridge or possibly the chimney.
We are having a new roof =ut on and the old antenna is coming down anyway - so good time to change.
Suggestions for most stable?
Thanks Brett

Greetings Brett, > I don't believe you'll need two antennas or a rotor to get good reception at your location. Some of the signals are too strong to recommend the omni-directional antenna. These antennas struggle in areas where the transmitters are within 10 miles. > Your best bet is the EZ-HD TV antenna. This antenna has an average 70 degree beam width. I'm certain that the antenna can be installed in a fixed position with the narrower end of the antenna pointing South/Southwesterly. This position should provide excellent reception on all of your local channels, this is especially true for digital reception. KGBF 50 is a low powered station and will likely not go digital until Feb. of 09. The EZ-HD with its shorter elements and quality construction will last for years and years even in windy areas like yours. >You will need amplification to provide quality signal to all 3 TV locations. I wouldn't recommend a preamplifier for fear it would overdrive the system do to the stronger signals. Your best bet is the DA 25 distribution amplifier installed on the coax cable down lead on the antenna side of the signal splitter. The amplifier location should be at least 20 feet in cable length from the antenna and no further then 50 feet. > 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. > Best Regards,
