Different channels have wildly different RX levels. I would start with any generic antenna and do a spectrum analysis. See if you need gain for particular antennas. Too much signal can mess up a channel too. And even having plenty of signal does not mean it will work. If there is multipath a strong signal will be ignored by the receiver.
I would use a small indoor antenna mounted up in an attic space if I could get away with it. But why start IPTV now? I have done two systems and will never do it again.

If your just looking for a quality UHF antenna the 8 bay bowtie from channel master is a quality antenna.

I know an antenna is an antenna, but for instance, I know build quality is a thing. If standard consumer-grade is fine, so be it. -----Mike HammettIntelligent Computing SolutionsMidwest Internet ExchangeThe Brothers WISP -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
