HD Antenna advice?
Hi
Wanting to put up the CHannelmaster HD antenna 8bay I have heard some about putting two up. Each aiming towards a different major city to get the best reception for the HD. Any advice on this? Any reason to or not to or better ideas? Thanks |

Thanks In order of preference 1: 2 antennas, 2 transmission lines, switch at receiver 2: 1 antenna, 1 rotor, 1 rotor cable/transmission line, rotor control set top box 3: 2 antennas, 1 hybrid combiner on pole, 1 transmission line (many opportunities for phasing weirdness and cancellations, etc.) |

HD Antenna advice?
Hi

Any reason to or not to or better ideas? Combining two antennas can be rather tricky to do well; you can get odd cancellation and interference effects. Switching arrangement may work better. Alternate approaches a - Use one antenna (single- or multi-bay) and a remote-controlled mechanical rotator. - Use an "electrically steerable" antenna - some of these can be controlled/steered automatically by some newer digital television sets, via a control voltage sent up the coax. -- Dave Platt AE6EO Friends of Jade Warrior home page: http://www.radagast.org/jade-warrior I do _not_ wish to receive unsolicited commercial email, and I will boycott any company which has the gall to send me such ads! |
