I've got an HV-1600. It works great on the analog side & actually fairly good on the digital side.
My main problem with OTA is that my stations are S, SW, & SE of me.
I bought a $30 apmlified antenna & that works great if I aim it.
I can always get the S stations, but can only get SW or SE with it.
It's not an ideal setup for recording HD & digital TV.
I'm thinking of building two homemade DB2 antennas & point one SE & one SW in the attic & leave the amplified on the TV facing south & tieing them all together to cover all the directions.
I've got all the material to build the cheapie antennas so i'm leaning that way instead of a big antenna on my roof.
But, I don't know if the amp on the one antenna will cause problems with the signal coming off the other two.
Anybody got an idea?
