The same question again

I disagree. If an indoor works for you and you can receive all the stations that you are interested in without reception problems then there is no easier way to get OTA HD and anything more is just added complexity. Maybe you and I are technophiles so we don't mind dealing with gain, insertion loss, amplification, etc., but most people have better things to do with their time than become RF experts.

In cases where an indoor antenna might work, an outdoor antenna will work without a no preamp and line losses don't matter. I still content that the proper antenna mounted outdoors is less fuss that the tweaks and experiments needed with indoor antennas.

No problem.

If things don't work out - don't be afraid to venture into outdoor antennas. It's not that hard to do. I am super lazy and I still managed to install mine without running any new wires and without installing a pole. Here's a pic of my setup. I just clamped it onto an existing exhaust pipe and hooked it into my dish wiring system and now my reception is perfect and available anywhere in my home.

Neat idea, how and where do you hook into you existing Dish wiring system. Thanks
