Tv antennas

ditto on Mr. Wizard

I have the fully enclosed automatic Wingard and we really like it because we do not have to worry about putting it up and down. We have not compared the ability to pick up signals with batwing types, so we cannot comment on it. It has worked well in the places we have gone.

As a kid watching Mr. Wizard on TV he was always right. So is the above post. ;-)

AND.... Mic Drop...

when it comes to signal reception, two things are king
direction and height
a directional antenna either manual or automatic is better than a Omnni directional antenna

the higher you get the antenna above the roof the better

the one with the best reputation and the most liked is probably the winegard batwing style , I think current version is called the Sensar IV
the PRO version comes with a signal strength meter/amplifier that helps you find the best direction to point it

it cranks up and down from the handle inside the rv
crank it up turn on the tv and the amplifier, and rotate for the best signal

winegard also has a fully automatic enclosed dome style antenna, that mounts on the roof and costs more money, but in really weak fringe areas where the extra crank up height helps, the bat wing gives the best performance
