<p>[QUOTE="RF Steve, post: 140521, member: 18630"]First you need too find out how receivable the signals really are at your location. TV fool gives us a pretty good forecast of what to expect, but in the real world it is far from a perfect prediction tool. None of the signals you desire are predicted to be strong. Trying to receive some of them could require a lot of time, effort, and frustration. </p><p>To answer your question. A two antenna system can be built, but it requires two coax runs, and a switch, or two tuners at each location. Simply combining two antennas pointing different directions will not work in areas where signal levels are low. It often does not work even in areas with much stronger signal levels. While I have read of some pretty amazing reception results in some low signal areas. I have also read of the frustration, and failure others have have experienced when trying to pull weak signals out of the noise.</p><p>Steve[/QUOTE]</p><p></p>
