The square grate with the bowties on top. Sold under many names with 2, 4, or 8 bowties. I have a $23-or-so delivered from Amazon one with 2 bowties, and get all Phoenix channels (incl. 7.x) from near Red Mountain. It IS position-dependent. Put a nail or two on the wall and slide the antenna around til you get the best match. -----Original Message----- From: Josef Lowder To: plug-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us Sent: Mon, Sep 7, 2009 3:26 pm Subject: OT: What is the best antenna for getting Phoenix area TV channels? What is the best antenna for getting Phoenix area TV channels? I gave up cable years ago (too much money for too little worth watching). Tried dish and it was no better. For a long time, we were getting excellent reception from a simple $4.95 top-of-set antenna, even when we got a new Vizio HD TV a year ago. But recently, the signal for some channels ... especially channel 15 ... has become unreliable. Sometimes the signal breaks up and sometimes it goes away entirely. So, I purchased a $50 Philips outdoor antenna and mounted it on a 15-foot tall pole outside. It gets even worse reception than my little old $4.95 indoor top-of-set antenna. I've tried moving it to several different locations and tried rotating it to every degree of 360-degrees with no success. So what would the collective PLUG intelligence recommend? --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
