Hello everyone!
I recently purchased a house that has 2 antennas. I have a Trek powered antenna on the side of the house (facing east) and another actually on the roof.
Now, the bigger one of the roof is not connected. It looks like the wire was cut from it and it's on the roof itself. I also noticed a motor for it to turn the antenna but nothing was left from it (would plan on taking that off since I don't have a unit to power it). What I am wondering is, if I hook up the bigger antenna, will this provide me with a very good signal?
Currently with the Trek antenna, I can get all the channels during the day (from Green Bay, nothing from Wausau as the TVFool shows. Not worried about Wausau as it is just repeated channels), but at night, Fox 11.1 and CW14 (14.1) do not come in at all or are extremely pixelated.
Looking to get ideas as I was recommended an antenna from here which worked perfectly in Oshkosh a couple of months ago (the Winegard Freevision). I want to see if it would be worth me trying to wire up the antenna on the roof or if there is a better solution. The fact the bigger antenna has the wire cut from it makes me wonder if it had trouble getting a signal for OTA.
So would the bigger antenna be worth my time to try and wire? or is there a better solution I could look at?
Other than these 2 antennas, I do have a Winegard Freevision and a Clearstream 4 (though I read the Clearstream isn't good for VHF which 11 is on)
Thanks!
