Hi
I'm debating on which one would be better for my TV signal needs, HD-1080 or FV HD-30.
I'm on Zip code: 94087, on a single story home. There aren't tall structures in my area, except a few 2 story homes around (one next to mine).
Based on DTV.GOV, there are multiple channels with strong digital signal in my area, and those are the ones I want to focus on, but I am confused about which would be the right antenna to pickup all of them.
Based on some of the reviews I have read, it seems like your HD-1080 may not do a great job at picking up the HI-V signals, but, on the other hand, your FV HD-30 is only rated for channels 7-51, and there are a few channels listed on that web page over #51, that I want to make sure I pick up, like the ones below:
KKPX ION 65-1 UHF
KTEH PBS 54-1 UHF
KFSF TELEFUTURA 66-1 UHF
KCSM PBS 60-1 UHF ,
as well as the Hi-V following
KNTV NBC 11-1 Hi-V
KGO ABC 7-1 Hi-V
Also, I want something simple, the simplest possible; I'm not interested on a gigantic antenna on my roof. I'm not even considering a pre-amp, given that the signal on those channels seem to be very strong. Now the question is:
With FV HD-30: Eventhough it is rated for channels 7-51, will channels over 52 still come in, or would I simply get nothing over that number?
With HD 1080: Would I be able to pick up those H1-V channels, eventhough other seem to not have been so lucky? Will that one be too bulky for what I am looking for?
Please advice, Thanks
