GPS 39.74462, -86.42575. Looking to put an outdoor antenna in my attic (2 story house) to recieve local channels from Indianapolis. Currently have rabit ears ontop of GE 52" projection tv with cheap converter box with very poor results.

I would like to feed 2 tv's, could you please advise on additional equipment.


Thanks

You'll have 2 VHF digital stations after June 12, channels 9 and 13, so you'll need a UHF plus VHF high-band antenna mounted on your roof. I suggest a Winegard HD-7696p aimed at about 50 degrees by a compass. Run the coaxial cable to an indoor central location, use a high-quality coaxial 2-way splitter, then run cable to each TV set. You should enjoy a perfect digital picture with that arrangement.

On another subject: you mentioned that you have a 52" projection TV set: if that set HD ready, or is it an older TV? If it is HD-ready, you should investigate using an HDTV tuner rather than a converter box so you can enjoy true high-definition signals. Look on the vacl of the set to see whether you have component inputs ( Red, Blue and Green ). If you do, you will really enhance your enjoyment of the set using an HDTV TUNER that receives HD signals rather than a simple converter box.
