Hello all,
I have been browsing around here for the last week trying to upgrade my antenna situation.
Currently I have a Lava HD-2605 that is 70 feet in a tree. It picks up one station consistently and have picked up all enough to register on my digital channels. They are not consistent even non-existent. Hence it brings me here. I built this GH from thread 95898. There are so many versions I have no idea which one it is. I built it because it was simple and 300ohm had plans drawn out. I don't get anything on it. I also have it about 10' off of the ground. I have not put it in my tree and if I do it would have at least 75' RG6.
Current setup. Lava HD-2605. 140' rg6 with 2 straight line connectors. Coming into house. Wall jack into surge protector. Out to rotor and power supply for lava back to wall jack. Up the wall to wall jack to TV. Satellite worked great but don't feel like paying for it and I didn't have HD.
So my question is: What should I have built or will this still work? I am unable to post TVfool. I am 63 miles from hampton and 67 miles from richmond stations. I have picked up stations from Hampton and Ricmond. The channel I get consistently is CBS 3.1. With PBS 15.1,2,3 every now and again if the weather is right. One night I had every channel I could receive locally from hampton and even had the pbs from NC down the list a bit. HELP!
I just don't know which way to go. Thank you for all the info that has been given and will be given. Help a brother in no-man's-land out.
Know I'm long winded here.
I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section.
