OTA Question
I currently own a Mits. 57732 DLP w/ comcast high def. I am considering
buying a winegard antenna to pick up high def on UHF. I live 10 miles from 7 HDTV towers all within 3 degrees of each other. Anybody else have a good or bad experience with using a OTA for high def.? I have heard that with an antenna it can look better than cable high def. Any and all input is appreciated! ~J~ |

Ask Bob Miller and he'll tell you that you're wasting your money and that ATSC/8VSB does not work and you'll get no picture at all most of the time. Ask anyone else (including people that have actual digital TVs and get actual signals over the air from distances a lot further than yours) and they will tell you that you can get a very good picture and that it will be better than cable if your cable company does re-compression (apparently most do). You may also get subchannels your cable company doesn't even carry. -- |---------------------------------------/----------------------------------| | Phil Howard KA9WGN (ka9wgn.ham.org) / Do not send to the address below | | first name lower case at ipal.net / | |------------------------------------/-------------------------------------| |

Any and all input is appreciated! ~J~ If you provide your zip code, we can look up the digital stations and see if they are all on UHF and whether they will stay on UHF after the analog shutdown in 2009. The zip code also tells us something about your terrain - hilly, wooded, flat plains, desert - which impacts antenna selection. At 10 miles, an indoor or attic mounted antenna can often do the job but not always if you live down in a valley or in dense woods. Most people have very good experience with OTA digital reception - provided they live in an area where OTA reception is feasible - now that most major stations are at or near full power on their digital channel. I get 16 digital stations - 13 with HD sub-channels - quite reliably with a Channel Master 4221 4 Bay bowtie in my attic. I expect I will get 18 OTA digital stations by the end of the year when the last two holdouts in the Baltimore-Washington market - WUTB-DT My 24 in Baltimore (should be soon) and WHUT-DT PBS in DC go full power. Yes, the local stations can look better OTA than via cable, but that varies a lot depending on whether the specific local cable system adds more compression to squeeze the HD channels into limited bandwidth. OTA reception will also get all the SD sub-channels that Comcast may not pass through. Alan F |

I live outside Boston and get all my HD and other digital TV OTA. My closest station is about 11 miles way the farthest is about 30 miles. In my case seems less important than what's between me an the transmitters as the farthest station is acually the most stable. I use an amplified indoor antenna which requires occasional adjustment but works great. I actually get more stations(plus the sub channels) than I did under analog only. -- Rick Evans --------------------------------------------------------------- Lon -71° 04' 35" Lat +42° 11' 07" |

Check out this one and particularly, Rev 2 http://www.prism.gatech.edu/~wn17/ A little extreme but it proves the point. Yes Bob, I know COFDM works better. GG |

At your location, all you have to do is hang a cheap bowtie antenna off your ant input and you should get perfect HDTV reception for all those channels. Your only problem is figuring how to share the OTA with your box. You may want to use a cheap splitter to combine the two or you may have an extra jack on your TV or box. Or you may find less problems using a switch between the two. I am still waiting for to reply with his zip code, but from his other reply, he lives in the Boston area. All of the major network digital stations are currently on UHF, but they will not stay that way. In Boston, WHDH-DT NBC 7 will be switching it's digital channel from UHF 42 to upper VHF 7 in February, 2009 after the analog shutdown. So at 10 miles, he can try a Silver Sensor indoor UHF antenna for now. But if he puts up a permanent or attic antenna, it should be one that can get upper VHF 7 to 13 stations as well. Alan F |

I have both a Silver Sensor and a CM 4-bay bowtie. At about 10 miles from the Albany antenna farm, both do well on the two VHF digitals, channels 7 and 12. The bowtie is in the attic, looking through wood, slate, the house next door and probably some trees. The SS, at a different location, is looking through a ground-floor window with no nearby obstructions. When another station moves to its analog channel, 6, it may be a different story. Del Mibbler |

You apparently live 10 miles WNW of the Needham, MA, antenna farm,
probably Sudbury. I have a cottage 48 miles southeast of Needham, MA, (Wareham) and I pick up all the Boston stations just fine with my Winegard VHF/UHF antenna. (I don't watch any VHF television so I can not attest to anything there) You will probably be able to pick up the Providence stations as well, although they usually just duplicate the Boston ones. I live about 5 miles west of the Needham towers (Natick) and pick up all the stations just fine with a Channel Master 8-bay UHF antenna in my attic. It even picks up VHF channel 7 just fine. WHDH will be moving its digital broadcasts to channel 7 when it shuts its analog station down in 2009. Otherwise, all stations will be UHF. |

Couldn't get the two I wanted, anyway, couple weak schools. Life goes on until one day, out of the box, hooked the HDTV to the 75ohm feed. Bingo, everything and more. (Six school OTS/ATSC/8VSB channels, 3 sub- carriers each, on tap to assign for single-button favorites). I'd heard, but never seen it up until then. The sub-carriers I didn't know existed. I'd want the Winegard if I weren't already pretty well covered. |

Especially Alan for his direct route very descriptive email. To answer a question asked I am in the 01701 area code (framingham). For those in the same area as me, (Just outside Boston, MA) I went to "You Do It Electronics" It is what Radio Shack should be but never will! They recommended the Winegard SS-1000 square shooter. NON-amplified if out doors and Amplified if I mount it in the attic. I'm kinda torn between that model looking like a Square Satellite dish & a conventional Antenna. I do get a good amount of strong wind, not sure if that would affect a normal style antenna. ~J~ |

But the Square Shooter is a small antenna and is not that well suited to picking up upper VHF for more distant stations. You posted elsewhere that you could run separate VHF and UHF into the TV - absolutely no need to make it that complicated. If you end up with separate VHF and UHF antennas, you get a $10 to $20 VHF/UHF combiner at the antennas. You have a LOT of digital station options.

One digital station in Boston, WHDH-DT NBC 7 is switching to VHF 7 in 2009; WPRI-DT CBS 12 in Providence, RI is currently on VHF 13. The Boston stations should be easy to get with any number of antennas. A $25 Silver Sensor UHF antenna (Philips PHDTV1 at Circuit City) would likely work for most of the Boston stations. But you can probably get the WZMY-DT My Network in NH and the Providence stations with an antenna that can get stations over a wide spread in azimuth. On the roof is always better, but depending on the height and design of the house, that can be a lot of work. If you have an attic you can use, my advice is to get a Channel Master 4221 4 Bay bowtie (see http://www.hdtvprimer.com/ANTENNAS/cm4221.html). It works pretty good for VHF 11 to 13 and should get WHDH-DT NBC 7 when they switch in 2009 at only 10 miles. I get good reception with a CM 4221 in my attic for the Washington DC analog 7 & 9 stations at 16 miles. Aim the CM 4221 between Boston and Providence to try to get both cities. If the CM 4221 is too big, you could get the new Channel Master 4220 2 bay bowtie and mount that outside using a satellite dish mount. See http://www.pctinternational.com/channelmaster/0612/ for an example.

J. The pros are that the two antennas do not have to be pointed in the same direction. Also you could have a fringe antenna mated to a local antenna. Even for two high gain antennas, stacking them one above the other is not as obnoxious as a huge combined antenna with a 15 + foot boom., and the two separate antennas will work better. Tam |

For you, another source of antenna might be Stark Electronic in
Worcester. - http://www.starkelectronic.com/ - It's a hole-in-the- wall, but they have good equipment at a fair price. I purchased a Winegard 4-bay UHF antenna there and a ChannelMaster 8-bay. If you got to http://www.hdtvprimer.com you can get a good idea of antennae. |

First off I want to thank ALL of you for your time and assistance. I
have no problem with an good size antenna on my house, BUT the wife that's another story. Still trying to convince her. At this point I only need UHF... BUT from what I have read I will need VHF in 02/09 for HDTV ch's. To prevent an argument with the wife I "might" go with the Winegard SS-1000 (non amplified) OR Winegard SS-2000 (amplified) They look identical. There are a few reasons I am considering the Amplified one. 1) My understanding is that without plugging it in it will work passively like the SS-1000. (both are the same price $89, dont mind spending it if it works good) I am good at electrical & don't mind adding an outlet if need be. 2) If "the wife" wont let up about mounting it outside, I could mount it in the attic. My attic is about 3 ft tall up there; but there is enough room to mount it. With the signal loss due to my house structure & asphalt shingles I could plug in the amplifier and not loose as much even though its in the attic. Am I on the right path? OR going way off in the wrong direction with what I should do? Your time and assistance is greatly appreciated! ~J~ Framingham, MA. 01701 |

I put up that antenna in Dec 2004 in 90274 35 miles from the towers. I _do_ have line of sight to the "towers" on Mt Wilson. The signal is split 4 ways to a Samsung STB and 3 ATI HDTV Wonders. No amplifiers and 100 feet of RG-6 coax. For now all DTV in Los Angeles is UHF but that will change in 2009. This antenna _might_ be sufficient for KABC-DT when they go back to ch 7. The analog feed is weak but not ghosting. For now it works very well and has the big plus point of _not_ looking like an antenna. GG |

Someone posted an indirect link to this DIY antenna many months ago. I built the DB-4 version.All my stations are UHF here. Mine is mounted looking out a small second story window but could have been put in the attic. Being indoors didn't have to make anything to withstand the weather. Was able to make it from wood, cardboard, aluminum foil and wire from 12-2 romex. No duct tape so hope I don't lose my Possum Lodge membership :0b. I already had a 30075 ohm transformer so basically it didn't cost me anything to make. Getting 6 channels at 33 miles and another I don't watch at ~45 miles and 7 degrees from the others. Not the answer for everyone but the price is right even if it's only used until the cut off.. 2-3hrs build time and I'm slow. BTW, a lot of people were making them for outdoor use but I think I'd buy a mfg unit for mounting on a mast. http://www.lumenlab.com/forums/index...opic=9613&st=0 I have an inexpensive RS preamp on it. Won't make a difference on how many stations you see but may help lock-on in a borderline weak signal situation. DC power to the preamp goes through the coax so plugs into AC near the receiver. Seriously doubt you'll need one. |
