Best Antenna for Rural Area

Postby lrb » Mon Jun 20, 2011 4:52 pm

I'm 60-70 miles from the closest broadcast stations. I do not subscribe to a TV service; we have had an older antenna/booster for many years and it needs to be replaced as our channel selection is diminishing.

I'm currently looking at maybe the HD7698P Platinum HD Series Antenna. I would appreciate any input. I have a sturdy (set in concrete) tower that is 30+ feet tall and I live on a slight hill. Would I need to purchase a booster with this antenna? Are there any other accessories I would need to purchase?

Thanks for any help.

Depending on how many TV sets you wish to run a preamplifier would definitely be recommended. For one to two TV sets use the AP-8700 preamplifier and for 4-8 TV sets use the AP-8275 preamplifier. Use a high quality RG6/U coax cable with compression connectors. You might also consider installing a GB-8100 ground block in your downlead cable.
