TV Fool report.
The only channels I particularly care about are all sitting around 188deg - the big networks out of Denver - the rest are stuff that I can't really see myself caring about. Two stations (actual 7 and 9) are in the Hi-VHF range and are also the lowest signal strength stations on my "care about" list.
A rooftop mount at 25' gives me a pretty clear line of sight South.
It's probably a 50' run to the inlet to the house, and that feeds 3 jacks (only one TV, though) from a 3-way splitter right after the grounding tie on the outside of the house (Comcast's cable is currently plugged in there, but that's my best hookup spot, so out it goes).
How much antenna do I need to pull in the Denver network stations? Another forum recommended the RCA ANT751 which has the advantages of small size and being available locally (read: if it doesn't work, returning it is easy). I'm skeptical of something that I can't find any gain figures on, but then I don't really know how much signal I really need to ensure decent reception.
Suggestions? Anybody else in the area have success stories?
