[CTSARA] Off-Air TV-How to

[Jonathan S. Shapiro]

I bought a HDTV antenna
Amplified Outdoor Digital  AX-906         1  69.99
HDTV Antenna with Motor
Rotor 2010 Model AX-906

From:   www.Americanesuperstore.com

Current model is
http://www.americanesuperstore.com/outdoorhdantenna.html


both of my prior purchases were destroyed by our storms. One was destroyed
by a falling branch, the other was destroyed by Sandy, which also changed
the tilt of my mast on the side of garage. I used two sections of mast which
put a lot of stress on the mounts.
My location is in a hollow in Greenwich, and a I got some, but variable
reception with the AX-906.  The HDTV zone map says I should get nothing,  I
may by another cheapie, as all I need do is refasten it to mast, and push it
up again. Maybe I need some guy wires too!

Get a Channel Master 4228 UHF antenna and a matching mast-mounted pre-amp.
This bow-tie design is broadband enough to reach down to channel 7.
