Best Aerial Antenna

[pablo cruze]

Hello,
I am purchasing a home in Hemmingway. I will want to start out with the minimum for infotainment at the house. Probably just the lowest cost internet (at a reasonable speed - only will use one or two devices at a time). YouTube TV, and will want a great antenna to get the most local stations (Ocala, Orlando, Tampa).

I think that I read where someone had a good antenna from a supplier in Michigan, but now I cannot find the reference.

Can someone help?

Thank you.

Sincerely
Paul Hellebuyck

Check out Antenna Man - Cut The Cord (http://WWW.AntennaManPA.com) He has a YouTube channel with a lot of great advice (especially about the cheap antenna above).

You would need a third antenna for Tampa and a fourth for Ocala, they're all in different directions. Tampa would the same networks as Orlando.
Or you could probably use 1 antenna with a cheap rotator. Would save lots of room. :) You might need a multiband antenna not sure what freq all those local channels use.

I bought an antenna at Best Buy for $12. The only problem is that it won't get any channels at all. But, I saved a lot of money.

This antenna in our attic peak pulls all channels(aimed towards Orlando) including WESH which is a VHF holdout.We are in Bison Valley.

as mentioned, if you have youtubetv , you won't need an antenna.
If you like your antenna, then there's no reason to get youtubetv
youtube does have a lot of non-local stations

You get the local channels with YouTube TV.

Make sure you don't have radiant barrier in your attic. If you do the antenna won't work.

Mount it as high as possible in the attic. Every foot helps.

Aim it at 115 degrees. You can install a compass app on your phone.

Install the amplifier as close to the antenna as possible, as opposed to close to the TV.

I get Channel 2 clearly and live near Savannah Center but my attic is taller than most.

DB4e 4-Element Bowtie Attic/Outdoor HDTV Antenna (https://store.antennasdirect.com/DB4e-extended-long-range-outdoor-dtv-antenna.html)


They go on sale frequently. A DB8 can be pointed in 2 different directions, but twice the size.

The DISH Hopper has integrated Locast into their receiver. You can get a $12 a month discount on the Dish programming when you drop the locals and use Locast.

I use to use antennaweb to check stations, now I find that tvfool.com does this just as well.

I get a list of all stations, and can do an overlay right down to my house to see which way to set the attic antenna, as you can see here.

Denny's Stacker is way overpriced compared to everything out there. $200 shipped from the factory is crazy. Doesn't even include a mounting pole.

Another BIG vote for Locast - did the antenna thing with a booster et al - it was a waste of time and money - with Locast for 5.50 (5.00 donation/.50 admin fee) a month I get GREAT local TV - ALL of the channels. JMHO
