Elyria, OH OTA

[bd8494]

Okay here we go
I live in Elyria, Ohio (around 20 miles west from the Cleveland antenna farm) and i need an antenna since dish network dosen't have hd locals. I need an antenna $50 or under that will pick up 3,5,8,19, and 43 in hd. I will list both antennaweb and tvfool info for you guys. Also do you think if the RS DA-5200 will do any good for me. Any help? Thanks, bd8494

P.S. - I am a total newb at this

Stay away from anything that looks like the 5200, It will not work well on VHF
Looks like your NBC is VHF, you would have better luck with the VU-90

All your Digitals will be UHF in 2009 except WJW-DT going back to Ch 8 and WOIO-DT which is jumping to channel 10.

My recommendation is for two antennas one Uhf, one VHF joined with a CM7777 pre-amplifier. Probably a CM 4228 for UHF and a Winegard YA-1713 for your high band VHF channels. The 4228 is probably overkill and a 4221 would probably work.

This setup will cost about $150 and there may be an indoor amplified rabbit ears type that would get you service, but no guarantees.

I thought all station had to go UHF in 2009
