Where can I get a rooftop TV antenna, installed, on a budget?
My girlfriend has two aunts in Huntington Park. They live in an older
home and need a TV antenna installed to get TV reception. The bunny ears are not going to cut it come Feb. 2009. We already got them a DTV box, now we need the rooftop antenna installed. I have read about how to do it. I'm fuzzy on pointing the antenna or bolting down the mast on an old roof. Perhaps a pole anchored in concrete would be better. I was hoping to find someone who sells and installs the antenna, so a Pro (or semi Pro) could take care of it. I found http://www.solidsignal.com/prod_disp...p?prod=ANTINST but the out the door cost would be about $400 or so. An expensive gift to give someone if you ask me. I called another guy out of Santa Monica, but he is asking $500. Do you know anyone who can do it for less? I almost feel inclined to do it myself. Radio Shack sells a large antenna for $99. Bah this post is very stressful. Lesson I learned is, don't open your mouth to help. I fear if I take on this project I will muck it up. TV reception is hit and miss, the advice I was given is point the antenna to Mount Wilson. How do I do that, use a compass? If you've read this far, my hats off to you. Best regards, Michael Scipione |
