Hi Denny,
In browsing the internet for antenna info, I found your website-I  think you are the person who can answer my questions!  We recently bought an HD TV, & we use it for broadcast reception only (no cable). On a couple of the digital channels the reception is spectacular
(local channel 5-1, 61-1, zip code 44122), but on most other digital channels we are not happy with the reception, with lots of pixelation & transient loss of reception on many of the local digital channels. Right now we are using a TERK set-top amplified antenna (Terk4 or Terk5, I think is the model).  This Terk antenna was great with our old analog TV, but isn't doing the job on the digital channels. We want to add a rooftop antenna.  From your website, the Winegard MS 2000 looks perhaps appropriate, but I a question not addressed on your web site.  Most of the HD channels we want to get are within ~30 40 miles (channels 3, 5, 19, 25, 49).  I would like to mount the antenna on our roof, & most of these channels we want are to the south of our house.  Our TV den is on the north side of the house, & we have 3 stories & high ceilings. My estimate for coaxial cable length is that I will need at least a 70' cable. If I run the cable in the ideal manner, I would bring it down the north wall of the house, through the basement, then back up through the floor right next to the TV corner. This would probably take 90' of cable.  Is that OK? this seems like a lot of cable, I am wondering if that length would degrade the signal.
Thanks for your help,
Tom

First I would like to say I think the MS 2000 TV antenna will work great at your location.

Great question. The coax cable we offer is RG 6 and is of excellent quality. The cable center is copper clad, (steel coated with copper) and is acceptable for 99% of all applications, and would probably work fine for yours. However, if your in doubt we now offer solid copper center coax cable which has slightly less signal loss per foot. 
If I can assist you further Tom, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Denny

I examined your reception data and found the EZ-HD TV antenna to be the perfect choice. The antenna can be installed in a stationary position with the narrower end of the antenna pointing Northwest. If you use a quality coax cable and keep the length og the cable run to 50 feet or less amplification will not be needed to supply 1 TV without a signal splitter. To supply multiple TV's using a coax cable signal splitter I suggest the HDA 100 amplifier installed within a 50 foot cable length of the antenna before the signal splitter on the antenna side. The HDA 100 will counteract the signal loss created by the signal splitter.

Dear Denny,
>
I am looking for a TV antenna for zip code 45244 (Cincinnati, OH). The plan is to mount the antenna in the attic and to split to 2 different TV locations. Currently, the signals are weak, especially to the TV in the basement. Both are older style (5-6 years) analog TVs. I assume I have to purchase an analog-to-HDTV converter box to take advantage of the local digital channels. What antenna would you recommend for this location and application?
>
Sincerely, Steve _______

>
Greetings Steve,

I hesitate to recommend an antenna using only your zip code. I found that the reception varies a great deal from one location to another within the zip code you provided. If you don't mind would you please send me your street address. This will allow for a much more reliable recommendation.

I was able to pinpoint your location and gather the needed reception data. The perfect choice at your location is the EZ-HD. This antenna will provide excellent reception for both analog and digital TV. The antenna can be installed in a fixed position with the narrower end of the antenna pointing West/Northwest. This position will provide quality reception on ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, PBS, MNT, and two independent stations plus all of the digital sub channels when you get your digital converters.
>
The EZ-HD is available separately or as a package. Both can be viewed on this page:
http://estore.websitepros.com/1129733/-strse-TV-Antennas/Categories.bok
>
Along with the antenna I suggest the
AP 8700 preamplifier. This unit will provide the needed amplification to deliver strong signals to both TV locations.
>
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.

FREMONT 43420

My zip code is 43420. I live well within range of Toledo stations and I currently have a directional antenna mounted about 35 ft. in the air. I do not know the brand of the antenna or the rotor because I am afraid for my life to climb and investigate. The problem is that I have a big tree branching out over the side of the house where the antenna is and may have even contacted the antenna breaking certain parts of it. Funny thing is... I can receive some digital channels all the way from Detroit, but cannot receive all of the stations in Toledo.
>
I was thinking of installing a new antenna just above the roof line on the north side of the house away from the tree, which would be about 25ft. in the air. I live in an area where most of the houses are older and the trees are mature, however there is not an abundance of trees within very close range (500-750ft.) except for my own. I dont really care if I get the Detroit stations, I just want all the major network stations from Toledo. Antennaweb.org does not show some of the digital stations from Toledo, but I have checked the NAB site which says they are all online.

Would the MS 2000 work for me?
>
>
Greetings,
I think the MS 2000 TV antenna is a good choice for your locations. All of the Toledo channels are within 30 miles of your location, perfect for the MS 2000. Myself along with many of our customers have had excellent results using the MS 2000 for digital reception under similar conditions such as yours. Since you already checked, I didn't confirm all of the Toledo channels are broadcasting digitally.
If I can assist you further please don't hesitate to contact me.

Denny,
I have been reading through your website and finding lots of information. I was hoping you could help me in my situation.  I have an older Winegard CH-8096 antenna that we have had in our attic for almost 20 years.  We recently purchased an Samsung LCD HD TV.  When we first hooked it up we were getting 14 or more stations, but some of the digital stations come and go and the analog stations are sometimes fuzzy especially the UHF stations.  We are thinking about mounting the antenna outside on a tower.  Do we need a pre-amp?  Our address is ___________Gilead, OH 43338.  Would the Winegard MS 2000 be better for our situation? We also have a FM station that has a tower about 3 miles away broadcasting on 95.1.  Thanks in advance for your help.
Mike
>
>
Greetings Mike,
>
I examined the stations in your area. First I would not recommend the MS 2000 because of the close proximity of the FM station you mentioned. I have been in the antenna business for nearly twenty years and that antenna stock number does not ring a bell. I checked Winegards model number cross reference chart and found nothing there either. I really can't comment on your current TV antenna. I guess the main concern considering its age is whether or not its UHF capable. For best results at your location I would recommend mounting the antenna outdoors. The best antenna for your location is the Winegard HD 7082P VHF/UHF digital ready TV antenna along with an AP 8700 antenna preamplifier. This combination would provide excellent results at your location. You can point the antenna at 200 degrees and receive all of the Columbus channels. The addition of a rotor would offer a few more channels but they would all be repeats of the networks you can get from Columbus.
If I can assist you further please don't hesitate to contact me,

Denny

__________ Road, Heath, Oh. 43056
This is for my mother-in-law that is on fixed income and over the air TV reception is all that is affordable. She probably would start using the digital/HD right away if the reception were better than her present reception. My search shows Columbus stations mostly in the blue.
Antenna would be mounted outside. TV reception now is very poor with WHIZ coming in only part of the time.

Greetings Stan,
The best antenna for your mother-in-laws location is the UP-7 TV antenna. This antenna will provide excellent reception on all of the Columbus area digital/HD stations. All of the area digital/HD signals are being broadcast on channels higher then 7 and will continue to do so after the analog shutdown in February 2009. The largest part of any TV antenna is the portion designed to receive channels 2 - 6. There is no need for reception on channels 2 - 6 allowing the use of the smaller UP-7.
>
Along with the antenna I suggest the Winegard AP 8700 antenna preamplifier. The antenna can be installed in a stationary position with the narrow end pointing West to receive all of the Columbus area digital signals. However, to receive WHIZ NBC may require an antenna rotor to aim the antenna East - Southeast. The West antenna position will provide NBC reception on WCMH from Columbus, not WHIZ 18 from Zanesville.

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

Just wanted to let you know how happy we are with your recommendations. I call yesterday to cancel the cable. The HD Stacker antenna has been wonderful. I put it together and have it on a 10ft pole in the yard and I get 20 Channels on all 4 TV's. I know that some of these channels are Spanish only but it is still great 4-1, 4-2, 6-1, 6-2, 10-1, 10-2, 17-1, 17-2, 17-3, 18-1, 28-1, 32-1, 32-2, 32-3, 32-4, 34-1, 34-2, 34-3, 51-1, 53-1  and I know some more will come in when it's on the roof they are just to weak right now. . I'm surprised how well it is picking up the Zanesville channel that is in the opposite direction I'm aiming. Great for me I don't need a rotor.

Denny,
I'm very interested in purchasing one of your antennas. My predicament is as follows: I live south of Cleveland in zip code 44641.  From looking at antennaweb.com, it looks like I'm 42-45 miles from the Cleveland local channels. I can't really have an outdoor tv antenna because of deed restrictions in the development I live in.  Your Sharpshooter is for less than 40 miles away.  Also, I am .6 miles southeast of a local TV station that just broadcasts religious TV. The station has a tower. Will that interfere with me trying to pull in channels?  Though the Cleveland channels are my highest priority, I'd like, if possible,  to also pull in the channels listed on antennaweb that are located in Youngstown, Pittsburgh,  and Erie if at all possible.  What do you suggest.
Thanks for your time.
Dale

Dale,

The Sharp Shooter probably would not be the best TV antenna for your location. Many communities such as yours will allow the Winegard MS-2000 antenna to mounted outdoors just above your roof top. If this is not acceptable then your next best choice would be to mount the MS-2000 as high as possible  in your attic.
It is possible that TBN channel 17 could interfere with channel 19 CBS from Shaker Heights because of their close proximity in frequency, but you do have another CBS available channel 27 from Youngstown.

My house is in a middle of woods, will I get good reception? The trees are away from the house, but are higher than my house. I currently have Dish Network and I don’t have a problem. I’m looking to upgrade my TV and Dish to HD, but don’t want to pay for local channels. I went to the CEA site and I need VHF (low frequency) and UHF antenna. I’m approximately 40 miles away from the tower (for Cleveland local stations, my zip 44645). What would the best antenna for my area? 

Will it be a strong enough signal for HD? If needed, please recommend a TV antenna pre-amplifier. 

Please let me know.

Robert

Greetings Robert,

Trees do in fact reduce signal strength, how much depends of course on how dense the woods is and how far the signal has to travel through the trees. Most of the channels at your location are within 40 miles and even with the trees quality reception will be possible.
You have several channels in various direction with the main core coming from Cleveland. The Cleveland broadcast market offers all of the networks in the same direction from your location, approximately 8 degrees at a distance of 32 miles. Normally at that distance I would recommend the Winegard HD 7080P TV antenna however, considering the trees I recommend the WInegard HD 7082P VHF/UHF/HD digital antenna to insure quality reception through the trees. I also recommend the Winegard AP 8700 antenna preamplifier. This combination will provide excellent reception from Cleveland. You could add a antenna rotor and receive some other stations from various locations however, most would be duplicates of what you can already receive from Cleveland.
If I can assist you further please don't hesitate to contact me.

I examined your reception conditions thoroughly and found the UP-7 TV antenna to be a great choice for your location. This antenna is designed for best performance on channels 7 and up. All of your local digital/HD signals are on channels above 7. The largest part of any antenna is the portion designed to receive channels 2 - 6. This allows the UP-7 to be much smaller and still provide the reception of antennas 2 or 3 times larger on channels 7 and higher.
>
The antenna can be installed with the narrow end pointing just south of west. All of the Columbus transmitters are just a little south of west at approximately 260 degrees on the compass. The Zanesville NBC digital signal I believe is strong enough to come in no matter what direction the antenna is pointing.
>
One other note, currently the digital signals from most of the stations are being broadcast at a lower power then the analog signals. It is unlikely but there may be times that you may have to rely on analog reception on a particular station until they go full power at the time of the analog shutdown. This would be true with any antenna.
>
Along with the antenna I suggest the Winegard AP 8780 antenna preamplifier. The AP 8780 has enough signal amplification to provide signal to all 3 location without the need for any additional amplification.

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.

'Id appreciate your recommendation on which antenna to consider =urchasing. We currently run 2 analog sets but will be transitioning to HD over the =oming months, before February, 2009.
Some facts for you:
  • Location = 4800 Wallace Road, Oxford OH = 45056
  • # of TV Locations = 2
  • We will probably use the antenna for the existing analog sets until we transition to HD, however, if there is an antenna that is purely HD that is =oticeably superior than we should consider it over one that is capable for both [i.e the 'future' vs. the 'current']
  • Antenna Location = please recommend 2 antennas [1 inside attic, 1 outside =ount] depending on performance, ease of set-up, 'look' etc., I could go either way.
  • Oxford is roughly equal distance from the Cincinnati and Dayton TV markets. we could 'point' to either one depending on what your data suggests as the best alternative.
I appreciate your input. Thanks.

I examined your reception data using two sources. The EZ-HD TV antenna is a perfect choice for your location. This antenna is quite compact in design and yet provides the performance of antennas twice its size. I fear if you go with anything less your digital reception may not be consistent.
>
I am partial to outdoor installation just because there is less chance of reception issues. However, on many occasions attic installation have worked just as well as outdoor location.
>
To supply both TV location with a strong signal I suggest the AP 8700 mast mounted preamplifier. To learn more about preamplifiers and their installation you can visit this page: http://www.dennysantennaservice.com/1136577.html  Be sure to scroll all the way down the page.
>
The Dayton signals are slightly stronger then the Cincinnati signals. However, the EZ-HD can receive the signals from either location. To receive the Dayton channels the antenna should be installed with the narrower end pointing East/Northeast. To receive Cincinnati channels the antenna should be pointed South/Southeast. Both locations offer the same networks and I wouldn't be surprised that no matter which City you choose that some of the stations from the other City would come in, especially when you switch to digital reception.

Looking over the reception conditions I think your absolute best choice is the miniMAX TV antenna. This little antenna is amazing for its size. Along with the antenna I suggest the Winegard AP 8780 antenna preamplifier. The AP 8780 will provide enough amplification to insure strong signals are delivered to all 4 TV locations

The antenna can be installed in a stationary position with the narrow end pointing southwest. This position will provide both analog and digital/HD reception on ABC 5, *CBS 19, FOX 8, NBC 3, PBS 25, CW 55, MNT 43, and UNI 61. *Note CBS 19 has a very low output power on their digital/HD transmission and any antenna may have difficulties receiving their digital signal consistently. CBS will more then likely increase their digital/HD output power at the time of the analog shutdown.

I have a Radio Shack antenna that has had a couple of radials broken off for a couple of years. When it rains I get great reception. When it is dry, I get a little  fuzzy reception on one or two channels. I do not have it grounded. I have it hooked to two televisions by a distribution amplifier.
Anyways, my zip code is 43071, I have a 40 ft. tower with a five foot mast pipe on a single story home. A few large trees around, a few hills far away.  I checked out antennaweb.org and it shows all of the channels I want to receive are within 36.7 miles and says Violet.
I was thinking of a Channel Master 3679, until I ran into your web sight and seen your Winegard MS2000.
Will that work for me?

To receive the Toledo channels at your location a small antenna such as the Winegard PR 7000 TV antenna pointed East would work great. I recommend a preamplifier such as the AP 8700 antenna preamplifier if you will be using a signal splitter to provide reception to more than one TV. If your interested in out of the area channels such as Detroit stations a Larger antenna and a antenna rotator would be necessary.
>
You may also be able to use the Winegard MS 2000 TV antenna. My only concern using that antenna is reflected signal called multi path interference. Multi path may occur with the MS 2000 due to the amount of strong signal that may bounce off objects surrounding your location. If you do not have reflective objects such as taller structures, the MS 2000 may do the trick. Your welcome to try one and return it if your not satisfied.

What antenna do you recommend for a customer that does not want to pay for cable or satellite? I am willing to buy a new television and antenna but need to know I will pick up local stations. I live in Warren, Ohio and the closest television stations are in Youngstown, Ohio. Also I live in downtown area by radio stations and it is a small brick apartment building with my windows facing wrong way I was told. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Carl

Greetings Carl,

The Youngstown transmitting towers are SE of your location within 20 miles. Unless you have a window to the SE I doubt any reasonably sized TV antenna will work indoors. To be honest, I think the conditions you describe would require an outdoor TV antenna to provide satisfactory reception unless you have a window facing south or east.
If I can assist you further please don't hesitate to contact me.

What is the most effective, simplest outdoor antenna to install due to me living in an apartment building? Thanks.

I would recommend the Choice Select 5000 TV antenna. We tested this antenna about a 2 months ago and the results were very impressive with both analog and digital reception. It is designed for indoor or outdoor use and comes with 10 feet of coax cable. To install it outside (if necessary) you may need to purchase additional coax cable. I think this antenna is definitely worth a shot at your location. If it doesn't provide satisfactory results you may return it for a full refund

My neighborhood is picky about dishes and antennas  so I am thinking of installing an antenna in the attic and use an amplifier to my 2 tv’s. Would you recommend  the Winegard 2000 for this installation. What other mounts , cable. Splitter would I need ?

Greetings Doug,

The first things to consider before mounting in the attic are the materials your home is constructed with. Is there aluminum siding, foil faced insulation, or a chimney that the signal would have to travel through to get to your antenna. Second mounted in your attic would the antenna be higher than the surrounding structures and what are those structures constructed with. If the antenna would be lower than the immediate structures surrounding your home and these structures are wood, roof shingles and vinyl siding you would probably be okay. See Facts you should know TV antenna range  Many times in neighborhoods such as yours the MS 2000 TV antenna  mounted outside on a small pipe mount such as the one shown below is excepted without objections.

If  possible I do recommend installing the antenna up near the peak.

This Item can be found under mounts on page two on the bottom of the page called antenna mount for smaller antennas in our on on line store, it is not in our website yet.

To mount the antenna in the attic you'll need a pipe a couple of feet long. Drill a hole in one end of the pipe and with a screw hang the pipe from the highest point possible on your roof rafter. Next mount the MS 2000 upside down from the pipe, your done. The MS 2000 works the same upside down as it does right side up. (indoor use only) Next you would run coax cable from the antenna to the antenna power supply (included). From the power supply to the splitter and from the splitter to the TV's. The power supply can be located in the attic near the antenna if you have an electrical outlet available.

The things you would need are the antenna package, a piece of pipe, a screw long enough to go through the pipe and into the rafter, a 2 way splitter, and the proper length of coax cable.

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