We put an outdoor Multi-directional antenna on the roof of the 2-story farmhouse next door.<\/p>\n

\"Rotate

We added a Rotator and Controller.<\/p>\n

We get a very good signal and can watch local programming, sports and news. We get three CBS HD channels, three ABC HD channels and three PBS HD channels plus a bunch of other things I never watch. \u00a0We get some other channels, but they have some interference.<\/p>\n

If you want to look up something specific, you can see a TV Guide here:

When we got to the new house, Cliff put in an attic antenna. Whether it is the mountain we are right next to or that being in the attic doesn’t work nearly as well, we get half as many channels now.<\/p>\n

And they don’t sell the DVR we bought any more. So sad. We are going to have to go to TiVo. This is the one that is closest to what we have and love. (We have more rooms and more TVs now.)<\/p>\n
