Hi,
I'm sorry if I'm in the wrong newsgroup, but you folks seem to know more about antennas than anyone else on usenet. The previous owner of my house installed a fairly substantial roof antenna for radio reception, because his favorite FM radio station was 50 miles away. Here's a pictu http://epsteinmania.com/jonathan/public/antenna.jpg I now would like to receive HDTV off-the-air programming at my house. It turns out that I will need to add about a 60-foot cable run to use this existing antenna, but it seems that this would be the most practical method. I'm actually in a pretty good TV reception area ... when I typed my address into antennaweb.org, it says that I only need a "small multidirectional antenna": http://www.antennaweb.org/aw/yellow.asp So my questions a 1) can I jury-rig this existing antenna for HDTV OTA reception? AND 2) how do I do it? E.g., to what part of the antenna do I attach an RG6 cable, and what adapters if any are necessary. TIA, Jonathan |
