Antenna? - Page 2

 

Thanks, I am.
 

I found this:
http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3740645
But it's out of stock....

I'm not sure it's a solution for me, I'm using a roof mount antenna for
my TV which works VERY well and a rabbit ears setup that works not so
well for my computer with TV tuner.  I could fix it with a splitter on
the roof mount antenna and a cable to the computer but..... I'm no
longer able to get into the attic and using most tools is difficult so
I suppose the fix is to get someone to do it for me but that's going to
be expensive, probably more than buying another antenna for the PC
which bring me back to my reason for asking.

I'll see if/when that antenna becomes available again.

 Hi, XS11E.

Yep, that looks like mine.  I don't see the dimensions there; mine is about
24" diameter.  We used rabbit-ears only before this, but were constantly
adjusting the direction.  This antenna says "omni" directional, but I've
still spent a few sessions over the years rotating it a few degrees, then
yelling "Is that better?" to my lovely assistant in the living room - who is
too interested in watching Maury to notice which reception is best.  :>(
And I have to aim for the best compromise among the various channels.

Having the coax cables already installed in our walls was a major benefit.
If I had had to install those, I doubt that I would have tried this.  But
the antenna has a coax connector on the bottom, so it was easy to make the
physical connections.  Hardest part was making sure to step on the 2x4's
hidden under the insulation in the attic so I didn't fall through the
ceiling as I chased the cables.

Good luck with whatever you decide.

Thanks, I couldn't find the dimensions either.

I'm only lacking a couple of channels using the rabbit ears, I'll
probably just live with it for now.....
