Outdoor antenna for 90018

Postby Loner on Wed Apr 29, 2009 12:02 am

I need an outdoor antenna that can do both uhf and vhf, and can be split to 4-5 television sets. According to antennaweb and tvfool, the broadcast towers for most of the channels are 20 miles away in mount wilson. Any advice?

Your best bet, and it's fairly cheap, too, is a Winegard HD-7694P mouned on your roof and aimed at 35 degrees by your compass: you'll see everything from Mt. Wilson with that antenna with no issues at all.

So could I get away with using a splitter without a pre-amp? I was thinking of getting an Eagle Aspen P-1000-8AP-GX.

If you are going to split to that many TV sets, add a Winegard HDA-100 amplifier in the line BEFORE the splitter to preserve your signal after splitting.
