Antenna TV in the RV

[Hatchdog]

Antennas and TV reception can make you crazy

I can remember the days of tubes when you could just bang the TV and the filaments would fall back into place.

My first job in 1972 at a pharmacy/variety store we had a tube tester and sold replacement tubes. Also had a Zerox machine with a coin box on it that customers could use. It was probable eight feet square.

I installed an antenna on the house today. The mounting bracket and lines were already there from the satellite which I tore down. Now I get 41 channels which is about twice what I got with the indoor amplified antenna. The antenna is small and cheap although very sturdy. I’m now thinking of getting a bigger one for the RV which is where I’ll watch the Packers with friends.

So, if you have a lot of snow on the roof burying the antenna, will it still work?

Does it use coaxial cable? That might work for me to get some live channels when I drop Dish next year, I could mount it where the dish is and already have coaxial going to my TV. I can stream everything else I want.

Yes it uses coaxial.

It might not. People tell me they have to clear dishes of snow so I’m prepared. It’s easy to reach.

I only have one TV in the house and it’s in the bedroom. Hence setting the RV up for company.

Damn Gene, that looks like our bedroom, (minus the Craftsman cabinet and guns of course), (I'm married).
Most of our house is tongue and groove cedar just like that, in fact when I added on I made two walls sheet rock
just so it wouldn't feel so much like living in a box car.

The best part of being single is I can do anything I want. The worst part is I can do anything I want.

Your TV keeps good company.

In the bedroom the antenna wouldn’t pick up much especially the Packers station.

Where I grew up, about half the population would think that was a feature and that would put about half the population in a panic.
