Rv TV Antenna

The RV has both an over-the-air antenna as well as a satellite antenna. I know the sat will work OK but how about the o-t-a?

Despite what others say and whatever label manufacturers put on them, there is no such thing as a "HD" or "Digital" antenna. If your current antenna works well for analog, it should be OK for DTV. The antenna doesn't know what it's picking up, if it's in the proper frequency range, the antenna should work.

Just make sure the antenna is in good shape and works for UHF and VHF.

If you have bad television reception in your RV it might be time to replace you antenna head on top of your RV. This video will show you step by ...

Our TV in our motorhome no longer picks up programs because of the new digital broadcasting. We tried to install a converter box along with our video distribution switch, but we get no signal. Does anyone know how to get our TV to work?

If you want to know more useful info. just do a google search via key words, moyea video converter.

I live way out in the boonies where there are plenty of trees and big hills.

It is difficult to get any TV stations in on our TV. Cable and Satellite are not options at this time. Someone suggested a RV TV antenna, but there are so many to choose from, how do I know which one will bring in a good signal?

Generally, RV antennas are for local reception. You need a "fringe" area antenna. This is one case where bigger is better. Also, higher is better. Ideally, you would have a "line of sight" path from your antenna to the transmitter site.

Here are a few links for you:

http://www.antennaweb.org

That last link will tell you where any local transmitters are, how far away they are, and which way to point your antenna to receive them. I suggest a rotor to turn your antenna to optimize the signal. Many folks, in your situation, "top" a tree and mount the antenna at the top with a rotor. If this isn't practical, mount the antenna as high as is practical.

My experience has been that the Winegard HD8200P:

I have a digital tv with an outside antenna on my rv. I have now a digital converter box and I am unable to receive TV signal where I used to be able to receive analog signal. Any advice?

A digital signal needs to be a little stronger than the old analog signals had to be. With analog the picture would just get snowy and you had a choice of watching it or not. Digital signals are pretty much all or nothing. You either receive a clean picture or you don't see it at all. You'll need a higher gain directional antenna, a method of turning it, and probably an amplifier to boost weak signals. I can't recommend a specific antenna because I don't know your RV. I would say get the biggest antenna that fits your RV well. Since you don't know how your RV will be orientated when you park you need a rotor to turn the antenna to aim it. A directional, high gain antenna will work much better than an omni or all direction antenna. The signal amp will bring in any signal that can be received. Check with a good RV outfit or go to a good TV or home theater store and see what they have to offer.
