Rooftop antenna vs signals
We just came back from two weeks "up North" and noticed a bit of difference and a bit of disappointment.
Our coach (a 1989) has the original Winegard antenna, with booster, with the rounded bottom, with two rubber bumpers that rest on the roof when down.
We were able to get four over-the-air channels while everyone else around us could only get a single channel. Why, when one would think that these newer rigs, all made after 2000, would have better reception and latest technology, are they unable to even duplicate what we get? We were all in the deep woods, in a valley, with a high ridge between us and Green Bay. The other rigs all had the Wingman attachment on their antennas. We can't due to the bottom of our housing being convex instead of flat.
Our disappointment? We could not get the station that carried the Brewer games or the Packer games. What type of antenna would give us a genuine increase in reception/more stations?
We have a Kingdome on the roof and an 18" dish with a single LNB that I can position within a 100'radius of the coach. But, alas, the trees were too thick and tall to let a signal thru. So, we are now home just so we can watch the Brewers and the Packers' kicking off the new season.
