Need recommendation for outdoor HDTV antennas.?

I am looking for an outdoor HDTV antenna. I'm about 65-100 miles from any towers. I'm at the Illinois-Iowa-area as the terrain is relatively flat.I will be mounted on my garage and maybe an extra 8 or 10 feet to the mast. What would be the best antennas, without breaking my bank account using?

See antennaweb. You probably have one of those Multibay or a deep fringe yagi or log on with a preamplifier periodically on a tower.

Can You Install A HDTV Antenna

Installing an antenna can be both confusing and dangerous, without the proper instructions. Make sure that you have familiarized yourself with all of the necessary directions before starting the installation process. Do not run the risk of injury by not following all of the required safety protocol. Attempting antenna installation during foul weather should be avoided, as it is one of the main safety risks.

The first step to antenna installation is setting the mount. The two most common options are a tripod mount and an eave mount. Either should work, depending on the location of the antenna and the topography of your mounting area. Make sure the mast is appropriately low to the base, around five to ten feet, and away from power lines.

If you are planning to use a rotor, you should install it at this point. A rotor allows for the remote repositioning of the antenna.

The mast should extend to no more than two feet above the rotor to ensure stability in high winds and a longer rotor life. After the optional rotor, you will need to turn your focus to the actual antenna. Adjusting the antenna for maximum signal reception at this point requires keeping the mounting brackets of the antenna itself tight enough to keep the antenna up, but loose enough for adjustments. You will need to run a temporary line directly from you TV to the antenna to test the reception quality. Once the picture clarity is at its optimum, tighten the mounting brackets on the antenna and install the signal preamplifier, if you choose to have one.

You are almost done, now it is time to stabilize the cable that runs from the antenna to your television. When choosing this path you need to avoid power lines, plumbing, and internal wiring as all of these could cause costly repairs to your house and signal loss from the antenna. If ice forms on the cable, that will also cause a loss of the transmitted signal, so keep that in mind when choosing a location for the cable. From there, just mount the cable and enjoy the show!
