You got what you got. In most cases the antenna had to be adjusted for each channel. With DTV this is not very practical as the TV must scan the channels seen by the antenna at that instant. ________

Reception of DTV and NTSC is no different at the antenna. Channel scanning is channel scanning and using "cut to channel" Yagis is still "good engineering practice" in multi customer (cable, large ap

When I was living on LI in the late 40's to 59 stacked bowties and folded dipoles were common since the only direction was at NYC. The few who wanted blacked out sports used a directional antenna wit

** And from my original question. Is it a good bet to install this well-regarded amplified TV antenna? Bearing in mind that I will be helpless if the internal amp suffers fundamental overload at HF?

Also far removed from amplifiers and their operation - more appropriate for a DTV antennas list. A twinlead folded dipole "FM Antenna" (88-108 MHz) is not very good on UHF TV (450-900 MHz). It has a

If you are really that nervous, stick to the bowtie and possibly a high pass filter. This said with the assumption that the stations you watch are more or less in the same direction. Use a 4 bay vert

If you are going to erect an external antenna, use the right antenna for the job. In mixed U/V environments, that's a U/V antenna - not a UHF bowtie that just "might" work on close-in VHF signals. If
