We put in a TV and blue-ray player for rainy days, but I'd like to be able to pick up local broadcast TV so I can check the news and weather in the morning.
I want to keep it simple. I was a stereo nerd of sorts in the 70's, and my knowledge pretty much ends with that. RCA jacks and flat antenna wires...
I'm thinking about starting with a short coax from the TV, through the outside wall behind it, to one of these.
Then a small home antenna on top of a telescoping fiberglass pole, (Maybe a long tree pruner handle.) with some king of socket or bracket to pop it in to when I want to use it.
Nothing permanent on the outside but the jack and bracket.
I don't think I need very much height for quick weekend getaways here in the flatlands.
We already tried an indoor antenna and got nothing. (Through the metal skin?)
Thoughts? ...Be gentle, please.
I'm not going outside until the temperature is above my age.
