Help choosing the right antenna

Postby jrob82 on Thu Sep 29, 2011 12:40 pm

I need help choosing the correct antenna for my house. I will be hooking up 1 tv. I have several large trees that surround my house.
I have a pole on the side of my house already but no antenna.

Indianapolis has 2 VHF digital TV stations, so you need a combination VHF-high-band plus UHF antenna. I would suggest using a Winegard HD-7696P or an AntennaCratf HBU-44 mounted on top of your existing mash with your antenna aimed at roughly 8-10 degrees compass point. Use all high-quality RG-6u coaxial cable from the antenna to your TV set, and be sure to ground the antenna cable where it enters the house to avoid static-discharge issues with your TV set. You'll see all of the Indy stations without a hitch.
