Need recommendations for Liberty Hill Texas

[gohrnz]

Hey guys/gals, I just finally entered the digital age and need some recommendations. I seem to have 50% of my stations NE and 50% SE. I have both UHF and VHF in both directions. and many at distance of 25 miles or more. I really need to stick with something I can put in my attic ( pain in the neck homeowners ) and would like, obviously, to get as many of the stations as possible. What would you guys recommend?

zip is 78642

It looks like your major TV networks come from Austin, which is 60+ miles away: the stations that you have that are closer are minor networks that will carry only a minimum of interesting programming. San Antonio is about 85 miles away, and not a good candidate for TV reception because of the distance involved. I don't believe that you'll get a proper signal at the distance that you are from Austin with an attic TV antenna installation: you need all the signal that you can get, and that will involve an external antenna. Your HOA cannot restrict you from installing a TV antenna to get local channels, as specified by FCC law, so don't let them push you around! Chances are good that they don't know the law!

You'll need a deep fringe roof-mounted antenna along with a rotator and a high-input preamplifier to get what you are looking for. Use my deep-fringe prescription, and you'll see the TV you are looking for just fine:

Winegard YA-1713 VHF high-band yagi
AntennasDirect XG-91 UHF deep-fringe antenna
A Winegard HDP-269 preamplifier
a Channel Master 9521a rotator
all new RG-6u coaxial cable
3 conductor rotator cable
Pico-Macom UVSJ VHF-UHF antenna joiner
proper antenna mounting and grounding equipment

here is a good instruction manual and a photo of the final installation:
