For those needing more signal strength with OTA HD... This could help! Gray-Hoverman
Hi all,
I've been using a Channel Master 4228 antenna for about a year now, and some of my signals are little weak using the HDHR (in the 32-39 range). While browsing a Canadian messageboard called Digitalhome.ca I came across this: http://www.digitalhome.ca/forum/showthread.php?t=81982 Main site for the Antenna: http://www.digitalhome.ca/ota/superantenna/ It's called Double Bay Gray-Hoverman (DBGH) or a Single Bay Gray-Hoverman (SBGH). If you look at the graphs it's much stronger for the middle of the road HD channels - and above 54 starts to fall off. Anyway... I haven't built one yet but it looks very tempting. You may have seen this already on Slashdot or such, but I figured I'd pass it along to the SageTV community.
