Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I'm about 38 miles away from Sutro Tower in San Francisco, and I had
been using a small indoor UHF antenna which worked quite well:
Philips PHDTV1 Silver Sensor UHF/HDTV Digital Indoor TV Antenna
But it couldn't bring in ABC or NBC, which are both on the high-VHF band.
I tried some indoor VHF rabbit ears, but still no go.
So I bought this FV-HD30 and mounted it outside on my patio, attached
to a 5-foot Radio Shack antenna mast. I have a clear line-of-sight to Sutro.
I also got the Winegard AP-8700 pre-amp, because of a 40-foot cable
run, which is then split and routed to 3 TV Tuners:
Winegard AP-8700 Preamplifier High Gain Low Noise 19 dB UHF 17 dB VHF for HDTV Antennas
The TV tuners are HDHomeRun's, which work great with Windows 7:
SiliconDust HDHomeRun HDHR-US Dual Networked High Definition Digital Television (White)
Well the antenna + preamp solved the problem, ABC and NBC now come in
strongly, and all the UHF channels are fine too. Highly recommended!
When you are assembling the HD-FV30 antenna, a deep (1.5" to 2") 7/16" socket is helpful.
I made my own cabling, using Belden 7915A Tri-Shield RG6 cable, and Thomas&Betts
Snap-N-Seal compression connectors.
