DTV Antenna Location

Good ideas here.

When the transition was happening, the broadcasters all said that rabbit ears would be all that was necessary to receive crystal clear reception. Well, here in the mountains, most folks I know have some real BIG roof antennas. I had one, too, but took it down when I installed the satellite. My house looks so much better without a big monster antenna up there...

When DTV came on, after analog went away, I got all kinds of calls for service because suddenly, nobody around here could get more than 2-3 channels anymore, using the rabbit ears. Alot of us got a dish.

I'm going to use RG-6 cable. It's still run up to the roof. A UHF antenna is much smaller than the VHF was. I need to pick something out to buy.

My house is on a ridge. The entire area is in a plateau with taller mountains all the way around us.

We've never gotten but one Tennessee station due to these mountains, so I have to aim for the South Carolina channels.
