Greetings from 01832

Hello,

I am looking for information regarding the proper antenna for my area.

My zip code is 01832

I will be running 4 televisions

I am looking for digital stations

I have all new Samsung - 32" 720p Flat-Panel LCD HDTV’s

According to the web site http://www.antennaweb.org" rel="nofollow, I need a Large Directional antenna, and to get Fox channel 25, I need an amplifier to receive blue and purple channels.
Also, according to the above website, it appears that my antenna should be pointing in the opposite direction (I believe I need to be pointing southwest).

Currently, I just bought a house that has an old antenna, and with the new digital RCA boxes that have a $40.00 off coupon that I installed, I am picking up about 8 local digital channels. I would be all set if I could pick up channel 25 out of Boston which is about 30 miles from my home. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

WFXT-DT operates a much lower-power transmitter than the other Boston channels do, a situation that they are going to address after the analog signoff. You will have one VHF digital channel in Boston after Feb 17, WHDH-DT will go to channel 7 from it's current channel 42. For that reason, you will need VHF in addition to UHF reception within the month. You should see WFXT-DT just fine, however, if you install a proper TV antenna and preamplifier to feed your 4 television sets. I would use a Winegard HD-7696 VHF-high-band+UHF antenna mounted on your roof and aimed at 189 degrees from your location in Haverill. Use a Channel Master Titan 7777 preamplifier to provide enough signal to power all 4 TV sets, and use a high-quality 4 way 1gHz or better splitter mounted AFTER the power supply for the preamplifier.

If you feel the need for the New Hampshire channels, you can use a Channel Master 9521a rotator to turn the antenna to aim at New Hampshire.
