Hello.

:?: I just moved to florida from Virginia (near Wash DC). I now live in Riverview... I am looking for ANT suggestions for my new home. In Virginia I had a rooftop directional that worked great. But I was a loooong way away from the towers and I now think this setup would be overkill here. I can see the towers in Riverview out of my back door.

Can anyone point me to a good ANT for my location? -- is the Zenith or Radio Shack the one I need? Since I am in Riverview and have HD towers nearby, but also others in the opposite direction (St. Pete) I figure an Omni is probably the best? -- As you can see, I am not sure what I need and hope the experts can chime in.

Thanks

hi adam,
welcome to the site and to the area.
i, too, can see the towers.
i'm in east bloomingdale by the new YMCA.

As you say, almost anything will suffice for your locals, but you need something for CBS.
I have a 30ft mast with a ChannelMaster 4248 YAGI that I point to CBS - Have had no problems/fades/drop outs that I can recall - and CBS is where I watched the most TV last year.

Will send you a PM on how to contact me - I can get you the antenna and an installer to help you get it all wired up.
