@MrShelf56 I personally have noticed if you go out far enough from the cities you will find big television antennas available in Radioshack or hardware stores. For an install I have helped with in a small town in southwest Washington to get Portland Oregon TV the antenna was obtained at Radioshack and was the VU190XR which is the biggest antenna they sell these days. It seems to work quite well but still needed a preamp to bring in a few channels and some are hopeless due to severe multipath.

Did you attach a grounding wire?

@mag1268 It was struck by lightning a couple weeks before this video was shot and the original lightning protector was replaced then. The grounding system had been in place for over 15 years, and apparently did its' job, but it was time to be replaced. I expected the pre-amp to be blown out, but it was fine. You can never predict what lightning will do and mag1268 brings up a great point. Antennas and dishes need to be grounded as well as the lead-in cable.

So far the Radio Shack rotor has been fine. The previous rotor was a Channel Master and it often got out of sync with the controller and needed frequent re-calibrations. But, it was old, and these things are exposed to some extreme weather conditions. Usually the gear grease hardens, and the motor burns up, or it just rusts away. The Shack was about the only choice in the area where this antenna is. as the only other supplier would be Wal-mart. So far it has performed great.

That antenna is quite a bit smaller than the old one?? Will the newer smaller antenna do the job well???

@kb9ndb No it wasn't quite good enough. Later I installed a bigger one, and turned that one 180 degrees so she can get two markets without rotating the antenna. She gets great reception now. It's hard to find a big antenna these days. That old Channel Master I took down was almost 15' long! See the video I did called "Double"
