  TV Antenna Selection for New Hampshire


Strafford 03884

 
Denny, 
I am looking to put an tv antenna in the second floor of my garage. I have been researching different types of antennas and have become thoroughly confused! All I want is to watch a little clear TV every so often and do not want to pay high cable
bills for a lot of junk!
Can you explain the best set up?  I know from what I have read so far this is right up your alley. The house is all run with cable to each room.  My thought was to mount the antenna
in the second floor of my garage, run coax to the exterior of the house where the current cable wiring exists and presto TV!
Am I on the right track in my thinking?  What type of TV antenna etc. do you suggest?  Doesn't need to be fancy or expensive cause like I said don't have TV now so not looking to go all HD or anything.  Just simple TV will be fine.
Thank you in advance for any help.
Danny
 
Hi Danny,
It will be presto and you have TV. Please send me your zip code so I can better choose the right TV antenna and accessories for you. Does your garage have aluminum siding or brick or is it wood construction ?
Best Regards,
Denny

 Denny, 
My Zip Code is 03884. The garage is wood construction with vinyl siding and asphalt shingles. No metal outside of drip edge on the eves. I forgot to mention that I would prefer an tv antenna that did not need to rotate as again it will be an interior application. 
Thank you so much for the quick response!!! I was not planning on hearing anything for at least a couple of days if not more.
Thanks,
Danny

Danny,
I have examined the various TV transmitting station in your area. I looked at their directions, output
power, distance and their affiliation ABC, NBC, etc... I have two suggestions.
1. Use the Winegard HD 7084 TV antenna  (our best TV antenna) with the Channel Master 7777 pre-amplifier  direct the antenna at the Boston transmitters. The Boston transmitter location for ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, Fox, UPN and a couple of independents are at 200 degrees on the compass and about 65 miles away from your location. This application would not require a rotor. I suggested the HD 7084 antenna based on a 20% indoor signal strength reduction. 
2. Use a smaller antenna such as the Winegard PR 7037  possibly even the PR 7015 antenna a rotor and a pre-amplifier. All the free to air networks (except Fox) are available at your location at a closer range then Boston, but they are in different directions. Your nearest FOX channel however, is Boston at 65 miles. Their would be some risk that these antennas (7015,7037) could struggle delivering a clear picture from Boston under the circumstances, especially the 7015.
I hope this helps you. If I can be of further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.
Have a nice day!
Denny

Denny, 
Probably being a pain but looking at the dimensions of the antennas, they are pretty big.  I know they have to be that big to accomplish what we have talked about previously but is there any other (smaller) option.  Your
two
 suggestions will take up some room and without measuring, I'm not even sure the would fit inside.
Any help would be great.
Thanks again for such quick response.
Danny

 
Danny,
Possibly a Winegard MS 2000 omnidirectional TV antenna would do the job. Mounting the TV antenna outside and higher in the air would definitely be a benefit. You could try it inside and if it doesn't work move it outside, or return it for a refund. I would recommend a DA 25 distribution amplifier for this application. The coax cable would go from the TV antenna to the antenna power supply. Out of the power supply into the distribution amplifier. From the distribution amplifier to your hook-up on the side of your house.
