Help with OTA!

[richelee]

I would like to set up an OTA system to recieve the following channels

yellow - vhf KXLY-DT 4.1 ABC SPOKANE WA 340° 18.4 13
blue - vhf KSPS-DT 7.1 PBS SPOKANE WA 223° 11.1 8
violet - uhf KAYU-DT 28.1 FOX SPOKANE WA 223° 10.8 30
violet - uhf KHQ-DT 6.1 NBC SPOKANE WA 224° 10.7 15

I will be using the Dish 811. This looks daunting to me with VHF, UHF, and ABC about 120 degrees away from the other stations. Could someone recommend a solution. I have room in the attic and would perfer that option if possible. At the minimum I would like to get the FOX and NBC stations.

Thanks.........

With that spread your most likely need a rotator to go with that antenna, you should probably be able to get that VHF channel with a UHF antenna also since it's in the higher VHF range. I'd have to say start with something like the CM 4221 in your attic if you have the room for it, aim it around and see what you can get before you permanently mount it and run the cabling.

I don't know how easy that's going to be. You are only ~11 miles from the FOX and NBC transmitters and their rated violet! You must be surrounded by hills or transmit power is very low for these two stations. Be prepared to get a pre-amp and higher gain antenna
