Placement of the antenna!

Postby BruceHunk » Tue May 10, 2011 12:40 am

I'm about to purchase 1080 model of your antenna. I'm already getting many of the local stations
using my indoor rabit year antenna, and I want to get more stations that I'm not getting currently
with this indoor antenna. Will I need to mount the antenna on the top of the roof? I'm sure the
reception will be better there. However, I just wander how much of an improvement I will get
if I place it on a tree which is not as high as my roof. I realldy don't want to climb up to the roof.

Thanks.

Good afteroon BruceHunk,

Installing the HD-1080 antenna in a tree is not really recommended because the tree will move in the wind causing the antennas receiving pattern to change. This most likely will cause the picture to break up or drop in and out. Possibly you can use a Winegard DS-2000 or DS-3000 mount and mount the HD-1080 antenna as high as possible on the side of your house. Just remember the higher the antenna the stronger your signal your antenna signal will be.
