I found a $40 antenna....had it installed and now pick up 40+ channels and are "crystal" clear. Talk to the guy at "Marion Flea Mkt".... after getting one from him I found the "exact" antenna for $40. Works perfect !! :beer3:
Did you do it yourself? What is the number of the Marion flea market guy(ken?)?? Or any other recommendations for an outside antenna installer? Want to try it before I go to dish.

Hey, what's the difference between an outdoor antenna (eyesore as you put it) and a satellite antenna? They are both "an eyesore"!

Radiant barriers/more insulation

I have been doing experiments and tests with garage insulation and have finally achieved a cooler in summer warmer in winter garage. I added 12 inches of insulation above, insulated doors, ceiling fans, and changed the lighting. Still got a few more tweaks but am almost there.
Just wondering.....do you get good cell phone reception. Many residents no longer have land phones.

Agree. There are some neighborhoods that are starting to look cluttered but I attribute that to where they came from or the fact they moved here and found it's more expensive then they thought so they are starting to count pennies.

I'm counting the pennies now and I haven't moved in yet. I will install an antenna inside the attic so as not to offend the non-penny counters & my wife.

A neighbor put up a flagpole with a little flat light on the top of it. It looks a lot like those little new HD tv antennas, so I thought, hey, why don't people just put up a flag pole and no one will complain about the antenna on top as they wont even know it's there!

I'd put the antenna up outside.
