Quick background:
Live in a condo facing north-received permission to put D* dish on roof.
Roof is being worked on-the dish must be remove briefly and then reattached. The word I have received is that no way will the reattached dish be aligned. The roofers will not realign dish.
I set up an appointment with D* for tomorrow for them to realign the dish.
I was thinking of adding the D* antenna to my service call for tomorrow.
I currently have an indoor ota set-up. works like crap.
I have a Zenith ZHDTV1 Silver Sensor and a Channel Master CM7778. I have no attic.
The condo complex was very cooperative with the dish so I certainly did not want to push with a large ota antenna on the roof. There are around 160 units and there are zero roof antennas.
Now my question-has anyone seen or have opinions on the D* clip-on antenna?
From D*'s website.
Quote:
Omni/semidirectional, UHF/VHF antenna. This antenna is ideal for consumers who live between two or more television transmitting stations because of its ability to pick up signals from different directions. Its compact size allows the antenna to be conveniently disguised behind a satellite dish.
Do you think it will work and is it unobtrusive? Since i am at work, there are very few sites I can access and almost all images are the red x in a box.
Here is my local info.
