Oregon Coast TV Reception?

Find out what towns you will be near and then go to AntennaPoint.com.

I am also doing the Oregon this June, and I think the question was: On the coast is there any TV reception? Unless there are digital translators, the coast is blocked from the inland larger cities as far as TV reception goes. I would also like to know. Anybody on the Oregon coast not on cable or sat?

I'm retired and have used DirecTv for decades. I haven't picked up an air signal for many, many years so I'm out of touch on what's current. I record a bunch of programs with the DirecTv set up so don't want to haul it with me. I obviously need to set up for digital now. So is there sufficient access along the Oregon coast that it's worth the bother?

not sure what you mean by 'standard signal' but if that means analog then with some exceptions for translator and low-power stations, American TV transitioned from analog to digital several years ago. if you have an analog TV in your RV you'll either need to add a digital-to-analog converter or swap out your old TV for a digital set.

do not be fooled...you will NOT need a digital TV antenna as there is no such thing. if you have the traditional bat-wing winegard RV antenna what you MAY need is the Wingman add-on. what the Wingman provides is additional receive capability on UHF channels. many, maybe most, TV stations that had been broadcasting in the VHF portion of the TV band are now broadcasting in the UHF portion of the band. all things being equal a UHF signal generally will not propagate as far as a VHF signal.
