Need to upgrade antenna (TVFOOL results)

Postby smack1114 on Tue Mar 08, 2011 10:21 pm

Right now I have a clearstream2 (http://www.amazon.com/Antennas-Direct-C ... =pd_cp_e_3) antenna and can pick up most of the channels I want but some only come in on a extremely rare occasion and the ones I do get fail from time to time. I do have a winegaurd preamp that helped a little. I have the antenna on the roof attached to a J bar.

Here is my tvfool results. http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wrapp ... 0ca5b15cb2

I live in between orlando and jacksonville. Jacksonville is a little closer. It would be cool if I could get channels from both cites, but I don't want a rotator. Just getting all the jax stations clear and 95% of the time would be great. I mainly want the major stations like abc, nbc, fox, and cbs.

OK please recommend a good/great antenna. I was looking at one antenna on amazon but it was 17 feet long. I hope I'm not going to need one of those.

Thanks
Shane

Anyone know of another board where you can discuss antennas?
