[TriLUG] [OT] HD Antenna suggestions, was: TV Tuner Card suggestion

[Neil L. Little]

The piece of 1x4 I had on hand when I constructed my tv antenna was 
about 5 ft long. I leaned the finished assembly against the wall behind 
the tv. It gives me pretty good service and there is no noticeable sweet 
spot in the room.

As Mike noted I do get the occasional pixelization from multipath when 
the weather is acting up.

This will do until the time comes for the erection of the receive stack. 
Of which the TV part will consist of a nice muti-element directional 
antenna on top of a 50 ft pole.
