the problem with tv signals are the reflections bouncing all over the place.
This is why a dipole doesnt work too well, because they recieve equally well
all the scattered signals, which gives the snow and ghosting, the signals are
out of phase. What you need is a beam antenna, the typical tv antenna with many
elements shaped like an arrowhead. This selects the strongest signal from only
one direction, eliminating (hopefully), the snow and ghosting. A signal
amplifier mounted directly at the antenna will also help with the losses of a
long twinlead run. The antennas are typically designed with a 300 ohm
impedance, jthus 300 ohm twinlead is the match. If your tv reciever or vcr or
whatever you have in the house has a direct connection for twinlead, then just
hook up to the two screws. If it is designed for a coax cable, you will need
the little gismo that has the two screws on one end and a cable connect on the
other. This little guy is theadaptor that is the impedance transformer from
twinlead to 75ohm cable.
Good luck
your results may vary.
Don't look at the laserbeam with your remaining eye.
