One is in the 117 degree range, the other in the 227 degree range, and the last in the 270 degree range. So how do you go about collecting all of the signals from one antenna? I have to move the UHF antenna to a different location to pick up the other channels. I have found this TERK HDTVLP and thought maybe it would work: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009WX4KM Any feedback on how to over come this would be great :-) |

Ususally, it's more of a multipath problem than signal strength. I would suggest you try two or more yagi antennas pointed in different directions and passively couple them to a common feed line. Stay away from one antenna that is indoors if possible. The website DrDave posted is excellant for the bearings of transmitter sites if you have a compass. Hope this helps.... Joe |
