Thanks for the instructions..... I think I will see just how different the signal is by adding the wingman... At that point I may decide to start adding boxes and the Sensor pro... I do go to the DTV.gov site and see which way I should be facing my antenna as of now...
Might be an easier way to do that if you have a SMART PHONE.
on my 'droid I have an application. TV Antenna Helper FREE.
Note that last word.. It was in the Google Play Store.
Took me like 2 minutes to figure it out but it snags my QTH (location) from the GPS (you know what that TLA is) and then checks the government site to find the transmitter locations (NOT studio as some web pages do) and gives me vectors (Angle/range) and anticipated signal strength..
I can display as a list
On a map (Shows actual tower location, colored lines indicate signal band (Green is good) on a compass (Likewise on color, do not find that one useful) and I think one other option.
Very handy.. Oh, and a good compass helps too. AND there is an app for that as well.. Just search in the store for it.. (There are quite a few) they use the flux gate sensors in the phone.
One thing they forget, When you activate the app. Hold the phone flat and turn around slowly all the way around to "Sync" the thing.
