Hello All,
Cut the cord back in JAN'16 and went OTA with a Televes DAT 790-mix and it has been mounted in two different locations. First I placed it on the side of the house at approx 15 feet/270 degrees with excellent reception of all of the local channels and a couple of the stronger ones from Denver. It was then placed in the attic and I still get the local but lost the couple of Denver stations. Granted it is in the attic and there is another house directly "in front" of the antenna. Ideally it should be mounted on the roof but this leads to the next question.
I know the 790Mix is not strong enough to capture everything between 318 and 348 degrees (plus the local channels) even at 30 feet, but what if I stack it with the 790LR and point the 790mix to 224 degrees? They will be mounted at the peak of the roof and will be combined using the 536040. I expect the RG6 run to be 45 feet with two breaks. Would the 790LR be able to capture a good portion of the Denver area channels?
The only other option I was looking into was the Winegard 8200U due to all of the google research I have done. Same research has alluded to ghosting and other interference possible if stacked with a different brand antenna. Thanks in advance for your help.
