Damacus 97098

We're contemplating getting an antenna for just local stations and wondered what the right antenna would be for our location. Our zip code in 97089 in Damascus, Oregon. We would just it for just two TV's and I would want an eave mount rather than a roof mount with roof penetrations. Any help or guidance you can provide would be appreciated. Thanks >
> Greetings Vince,
> I examined the reception data from your location and found the miniMAX TV antenna is a perfect choice. Along with the antenna I suggest the Winegard HDP 269 antenna preamplifier. The antenna can be installed in a stationary position with the narrow end pointing West to provide you with excellent reception on the following channels in no particular order. CBS 6, MNT 49, NBC 8, TBN 24, ABC 2, PBS 10, FOX 12, UNI 38, IND 51, HSN 35, MNT 18, and ION 55. >The eave mount or the J-pole mount are both excellent choices for this antenna. >The installation order goes like this. With the antenna and the mast mounted preamplifier mounted just below the antenna run a short piece of coax cable from the antenna output to the preamplifier input. From the preamplifier output to the ground block that should be installed on the coax cable down lead just before it enters your home. From the ground block run cable indoors to the power supply that is included with the preamplifier. The power supply requires an electrical outlet. From the power supply to the 2 way signal splitter and from the splitter to the TV's. A ground wire should be ran from the ground block to a ground and a ground wire should be ran from the antenna mount itself to a ground. >If you would like detailed information on how to install the equipment, or if I can assist you in any way, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Denny,
Just found your web site and it has been very helpful in confirming my decision to switch from cable to antenna. Would you please recommend an antenna system for me? My zip code is 97330 (Corvallis, OR). I have a two story house with basement and would like to feed the antenna signal to a TV in the basement, first and second floors.
Thanks for you help,
Coy

> Greetings Coy, You have numerous stations available to you. If you haven't yet go to antennaweb type in your zip and check it out. You have one thing that concerns me about your location. You have two channels very close by. Channels 7 and 14 from Corvallis. With this in mind you will need an antenna with a high front to back ration (the ability of an antenna to reject signal from the sides and back). The two antennas with the best front to back ratios are the Winegard HD 7082P TV antenna and the HD 7084P TV antenna.The 7084 has a slightly better ratio but truthfully I think either antenna will do an excellent job. Since your stations are in different direction a rotor is recommended for best results. You do have one direction that several channels would be received without rotation. However, there are several additional channels that can be received with rotation. This means you have a sweet spot, a direction where several channels can be receive without rotation. The rotor I recommend is the Channel Master 9521 antenna rotor. I would also recommend a preamplifier, one with high signal input capability and that would be the Winegard AP 8700 antenna preamplifier (booster). How you mount it is up to you and your situation. The antenna eave mount is one of most popular mounts. If you choose to install an preamplifier, when planning your system remember the amplifier power supply must be installed on the antenna side of any splitters. If I can assist you further Coy, please don't hesitate to contact me. Best Regards, Denny >

Hello Clay, > The EZ-HD TV antenna will also work great at your mother's location. The narrower end of the antenna should be pointed West/Southwest as you know at 254-56 degrees. Along with the antenna I suggest the HDA 100 amplifier installed on the coax cable down lead just ahead of the signal splitter on the antenna side. This will insure that the signal will remain strong as it's divided by the splitter and it travels the cable to the TV's. > I'm happy to hear the EZ-HD is performing well for you. I'm certain that it will do the same for your mother at her location. > 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,

Portland 97203

Hello, I am frustrated with poor reception and refuse to pay the rates of cable. I live at ____________ street Portland Oregon 97203. I have one HDTV Big screen and two analog sets. I expect I will get a digital converter box for the analog sets very soon so an antenna that only did digital would be fine.
>
Question. My house is new and is completely and with coax. Could I connect the antenna to the coax system to set good reception to every room in the house and not have to run cable throughout the home?
>
> Greetings Jason, > I examined your reception data and found that the EZ-HD TV antenna is a perfect choice for your location. The antenna can be =nstalled in a stationary position with the narrower end of the antenna pointing South. The EZ-HD will also offer good analog reception until the signals are =urned off in February. > Yes, you can use the existing coax cable. To do this I suggest that you install the HDA 200 distribution amplifier on the coax cable down lead just ahead of the signal splitter on the antenna side. This unit will provide enough amplification to use up to an 8 way signal splitter and distribute the signal throughout your home. > I am very confident that this equipment properly installed (I'm =ere 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 =nstall the equipment, or if I can assist you in anyway, please don't hesitate to =ontact me. > Best Regards, Denny Duplessis TV Antenna Source "Helping America Watch Free TV"

hello- i appreciate the information you provide in your web site and hope you will be able to help me select an appropriate television antenna for my house. i live in the zip code 97222. there are no large structures or trees around my house. i have been successfully using "rabbit ears" as an antenna for my television until i purchased the digital converter box. since purchasing (and installing) this box, although my picture quality is much improved and i get more stations to watch, the picture frequently "pixilates" and the audio breaks up. i am finding myself "tweaking" the rabbit ears much, much more than i did prior to the converter box. i am wondering if you think installing an outside antenna may alleviate this issue? > here is the information you requested: 1. street address: ____________ ave, portland, oregon, 97222 2. i only have one television 3. i am not sure how to answer question three. i plan to use the antenna along with the digital converter box so that i can get used to the converter box prior to the analog "cut off" date in february. 4. i can use the antenna outside on my roof or on the side of the house. i had not intended to use it in an attic. > thank you very much for the guidance. > -kerry

Greetings Kerry, > I examined the reception data and found the EZ-HD TV antenna to be a perfect match for your location. The antenna can be installed in a stationary position with the narrower end of the antenna pointing West/Northwest. This position will provide you with outstanding reception on all of the Portland area stations. > If you will be supplying 1 TV with signal without the use of a signal splitter and the coax cable run from the antenna to the TV will be 50 feet or less a preamplifier will not be necessary. >
The digital pixelation you mentioned is very common with indoor antennas. I am very confident that this equipment properly installed (I'm here to help if you need it) will provide you with excellent reception and will eliminate the signal drop that you're currently experiencing. > 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,
