Good morning, Denny:
I certainly need your assistance. I'm a retired lady, quite competent, and sick of paying the cable company for it's miserable selections of programs on Basic.

Judging from your site, it appears that the MS2000 or the EZ-HD would be most suitable for my uses. Is that your choice also, based on the above?

Thank you for your assistance. Frances

I would choose the EZ-HD TV antenna over the MS 2000. The reason for this is the EZ-HD performs better when trees are nearby. The antenna can be installed with the narrower end of the antenna pointing Northeast. This position will provide you with reception on all of the area stations. ABC. NBC. CBS, FOX, PBS, ION, CW, IND, and TBN.

The EZ-HD is rather simple to install. The antenna comes with directions. It simply mounts to a mast pipe using the U-bolt clamp of the antenna. there is a good picture of this on the EZ-HD link I provided above.

I have a set of RCA rabbit ears with a preamp . I have a metal roof and still get all the channel 17 being as clear a DVD movie 4, 5, 8 are watchable and 30 ,(58 not shown) are snowy . I will be using a three way splitter with a total of 100 feet of coax , I plan on mounting the antenna on the end of the house with a 30 ft. mast 8 feet will be above the roof and two will be buried in the ground there lots of 30 ft or more trees around my house no buildings . I 'am not sure what antenna and if I should use a preamp. I have my part list made out I need your advice again . Thanks for all the other speedy advice your have replied too Wayne > > Hi Wayne, > I recommend the Winegard HD 7080P TV antenna along with the AP 8700 antenna preamplifier. The HD series antennas are very durable and will last for many years. It also has a beam width of 26 degrees that should allow the reception of the below channels without rotation of the antenna. I highly recommend the preamplifier for your higher frequency UHF channels such as 30 and 58. UHF can have as much as 3 times the signal loss as VHF traveling the coax from the antenna to the TV's. With a 100' of cable involved and a 3 way splitter your signal loss on channel 58 will be at least 15.5 dB. The AP 8700 offers 19 dB gain, a near perfect match for your installation. This equipment should provide excellent reception at your location. > To view channel 58 at antennaweb.org after you fill out your info. go down to the bottom of that page and click on options. A new page will open, at the bottom of this page insert a height. Many times to view stations at a great distance I type in 5000 feet. When they calculate your reception the program uses a default height of 15 feet unless you change it. The results antennaweb displays is very conservative. > Regards, Denny TV Antenna Source

We have Direct TV with two boxes. I would like to install some kind of tv antenna in the attic and wire it to outher multiple outlets jack locations so I can pick up the local channels on those tv's. What are your suggestions?
Thank you,
Hal

Greetings Hal,

Please accept my apology for the slow reply. I left Thursday evening on a weekend fishing trip with my son.
Many people have had great success with the Winegard MS 2000 omnidirectional TV antenna. If you would send your zip code I could better determine if that item is a good choice for your location.
Again sorry for the slow reply
Best Regards,
Denny

Denny,
Hope you caught a lot of fish! My zip code is 37885.
With the MS 2000 antenna can the amplifier go in the basement by the structure wiring box?
Thanks, Hal

Yes it can go in the basement. That part you referred to as the amplifier is the power supply (transformer). The amplifier is in the TV antenna and receives its power (low voltage) from the power supply via the coax cable. Signal splitters are not recommended between the TV antenna and the power supply unless voltage blocking devices are installed on all splitter outputs except to the coax cable leading to the power supply. Voltage blocks are $3.50 Ea. and you would need one for each cable run except the power supplying cable. None of this matters if you do not intend on splitting the signal or if the splitter will be between the TV's and the power supply. Also I would recommend a DA 25 distribution amplifier for multiple outlet systems.

The channels you can expect to receive are 20 WB, 48 rel, 15 PBS, 6 ABC, 43 Fox, 10 NBC, 54 IND, 8 CBS, 38 Box, 32 UPN, all Knoxville channels except 54 located in Jellico. Depending if you have a one or two story house and your surrounding terrain you may receive some Chattanooga channels. Also consider your structure is their a chimney that would block signal, foil face insulation or aluminum siding? Are there surrounding buildings that could block signal? Is your properties elevation low, normal or high ? Under normal conditions a TV antenna located in the attic will lose from 15 to 30% of the signal compared to the same TV antenna at the same location mounted outside higher in the air.

I'm not trying to be negative we have many people who have successfully installed TV antennas in their attic. Just some things for you to consider.

Last but not least if all else fails you can always return it for a refund or a different antenna.

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

Thanks,

Denny
