HELP! What do I need to buy?

Postby MUDD on Wed Oct 26, 2011 10:36 am

I recently moved to a rural area and after signing up for sattelite I noticed I couldn't get all of the local channels. I put in waivers .... long story short they were denied. So I'm looking at hooking up an Outdoor Antenna and I don't have the faintest idea of what I need to buy and what I need to look for. Here are my TV Fool Signal results:

I moved from the Mobile area and would really like to those channels (channels that are to the far southwest of my location) but don't think it's possible to reach that far.

Can someone please help me in chosing what kind of setup I need?

If you have an accessible attic, you could build one of these antennas... http://www.diytvantennas.com They are easy to build and I have been able to get stations almost 50 miles away with them. Try out the folded dipole first since it is very quick and easy to build.

Good Luck!
