Hi everyone!
Forgive the incessent questions, but I'm trying to be prepared for when my installer gets here on Thursday. I think this will be my last one...I hope.
As I indicated in a previous question, I am suspecting that I won't be able to pull down locals reliably, due to tree obstructions, so I'm considering getting an OTA antenna and having it here for when the installer gets here. I'm going to assume that I should get one that would be mounted on the roof, or wherever the dish will go, as opposed to one of those set-top antennas...is that right? I'm planning on asking him to mount the antenna when me mounts the dish, and yeah, I know I'll have to pay him directly for that.
Also, assuming that is the case, can anyone reccomend a particular kind of roof mount antenna for OTA? I see Radio Shack has one for Off Air HD/Regular and it's one of those big wired ones...like my Mom and Dad used to have on their house, or at least that's what it looks like to me, and it has decent ratings. I was just wondering what your experiences were.
Thanks again!
