Just happened across your website and really like the info I get from it. I live in 73401 zip, single story very few trees and no tall bldgings. I have radio shack cheapest antenna w/ small booster. I receive 1 station S.E. of me fine but the one N.E. comes and goes (Mostly goes) Antenna is on 5 ft boom and I would like to stay as low as possible with no rotor.About 50 feet of coax to one set.(Plasma HD) futherest station is about 37 miles away and thru a high hilly area. what do you suggest? thanks, George

Greetings George,
Without using a rotor you have two choices. The MS 2000 omnidirectional TV antenna or coupling a second antenna to your existing antenna. You have one channel very close to your location which may or may not overload the signal amplifier in the MS 2000, no way to know without trying. I would recommend trying the MS 2000 and if it doesn't work to your satisfaction return it for a refund or credit. If I can assist you further please don't hesitate to contact me.
Best Regards,
Denny
Denny,
I just found your website and I hope you can help me find the correct antenna. We don't recieve local channels with our Direct TV setup. We have a plasma t.v. and we would like to get all the locals but I am confused when I look up the antenna web it has three different colors listed for the channels we would like to receive. Could you look up which would be best for our area? Our zip code is 73521 and we live close to the Airforce Base. I've heard that can mess up the signal. also if we would need any other equipment for our application just let me know.
Thanks for your time.

Greetings Lori,
At your location you will only need a smaller antenna such as the Winegard PR 7015 TV antenna. The antenna would require that you point it West at your location. You would not need an amplifier or a rotor. You would however need a antenna mount, mast pipe and coax down lead cable. Viewing the different types of mounts can help you decide what would work best for you at your home. If I can assist you further Lori, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Greetings Steve,
The Oklahoma stations you are referring to are nearly 90 miles away well out of range of the SS 2000. I am not saying they some won't come in at all but I doubt many if any will be of much quality. The SS 2000 Square Shooter antenna is not designed for long range reception, as a matter of fact it is designed for digital reception where strong signal is present. To receive reliable quality reception at that distance a much larger antenna will be needed such as the Winegard HD 7084P TV antenna. Also the SS 2000 is a highly directive antenna and many of your stations are in different directions. If you would like to view the Oklahoma stations at antennaweb when you submit your information click on options near the bottom of the page. In the height box put 1,000 feet.
If I can assist you further please don't hesitate to contact me.
Best Regards,
Denny

I was looking at Winegard MS1000 and MS2000 but got lost when discussions get to length of coax.
Winegard indicated MS2000 would not work as well as MS1000 on stations closer than 15 miles. Lost again.

Hi Cooper,

I'm thinking the MS 1000 is your best bet because the built-in preamplifier in the MS 2000 will likely be overdriven by the strong signals. However, to supply the 3 TV's and the longer cable runs it will require signal amplification but I don't believe a preamplifier is a good choice. If you were to mount the antenna outside (likely the best) how long would the coax cable run be before a distribution amplifier could be installed and plugged into an electrical outlet?

We are going to have find a power source in the attic so we could have the distribution amplifier min 10 feet but most conveniently 25 feet or anything between.

I think if you use the MS 1000 antenna and can install the HDA 200 amplifier within 25 feet of the antenna you'll get good reception on all of the channels. The closer the amplifier can be to the antenna the better but I think 25 feet will work

I think I can get the amplifier within 5 to 10 ft of the antenna. Would this help reception appreciably? It is not that big a problem to do so if it helps reception.

Thx

5 to 10 feet would be great. If not I think 25 feet will work just about as well and still provide a strong signal.

I really appreciate your site and all the good information.

Our house faces Compass heading 180deg the stations we are to pick up are
predominantly 118 deg and secondary 35deg .
The east side of our attic (90 deg) has 1/2: fiber board siding and I plan
to mount the MS 1000 upside down about 8 ft from the siding in the attic and
HDA amp by 6 ft coax to antenna. This means all that is between the Antenna
and the broadcast towers is that 1/2" siding. Then it is 20 ft coax to 3way
splitter and then 3 60 ft cables to the three TV sets.
>
If I have understood some of the things you have written I think this has a
fair chance of working, If not plan B is to go to the J mount at the peak of
the gable on the east side facing the broadcast towers.

Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

Cooper,

Nothing to suggest that's exactly how it should be done. Hopefully you won't have to go to plan B.

I am very interested to hear the results please let me know.

Again thanks for a really informative web site.

The installation went as planned. The performance exceeded my expectations. We have 14 channels available in our area.
7-yellow, 2-green, 3-red, 2 - blue. We get perfect reception on all except the two blue stations, and or the blue ones, one of them is marginally usable the other is not.
>
Signal of one yellow and all others have to come through our roof which is asphalt shingles over plywood with an thin aluminum thermal barrier. Plan B is now a thing of the past. Plan A as installed is great.

Hello Denny,
You provide a GREAT service and should be commended. I recently ordered a Winegard SS2000from another vendorBEFORE I found your website. I did this after spending $30.00 at Walmart for a little Phillips antenna that I mounted on the roof and was surprised at how well I received KSWO DT and KJTL at night. My question is did I make the right choice with the SS2000? I’m hoping some of the Oklahoma City stationsmay come in as well when pointed in that direction even though none show-up on antennaweb.org for my zip. Again, wish I’d found your site sooner.
Thanks. Steve
