Would it be better to put a TV rotor on the Terk 55 or replace it with a Channel Master 4228?

Question

I live away from a major city. Digital TV broadcast signals come from the South and Northwest. My choices are to put a rotor on it or upgrade my antenna to a Channel Master 4228.

Answer 1

buy a digital antena

Answer 2

Hi Scott, both antennas (TERK 55 and Channerl Master 4228) are directional, which means both need to point almost directly to the transmission antennas.

Now, you didn't explain where the TERK has been mounted but a lot of people recommend having it on the highest plase on your house, either indoor or outdoor. Try that.

If this doesn't make a difference, then (since both antennas are directional) I would try to use the rotor on the TERK one first, if no improvements are noticed, then I would try the Master 4228.

Go to the link showed on "Sources" field bellow and enter the address where you live (Name, email and phone# fields are not required), it will show you the analog/digital channels you can get in your area, select to show only the digital channels and look at the column where the distance from the transmission to your house is shown and also at the second column from the left which shows what type of antenna you need.

I hope this information helps.
