We made it simple for our deep fringe antenna customers. We have put together the ultimate defense and took the guess work out for you!
There are really only 2 scenarios that determine the type of system our deep fringe customers need and we have tackled them both! Everything is included except RG6 cable! This is so easy!
Here they are....
If you are located more than 45-50 miles from the transmitters and/or need to run more than 3-4 TV sets choose "Deep Fringe 1" Majority of people at these distances from the transmitters also need a
rotator, since they can often receive signals from more than one city. So both systems include rotor!
Tigerbangs Deep Fringe TV Antenna Prescription
Deep Fringe 1 Includes:
Winegard YA-1713
Antennas Direct 91XG
Channel Master rotor
Channel Master CM7777 preamp
3 sections of 5' mast
grounding rod
grounding block
100' copper grounding wire
Winegard Tripod antenna mount
Of course RG6 coax cable (if needed). We have standard lengths and custom lengths available If multiple TV's, you will need to choose the appropriate passive (non amplified) splitter
If you have a combination of very weak and strong signals (majority of your towers are in fringe areas but have 1 or 2 very close to you) AND/OR you're serving less than 4 TV's, choose "Deep Fringe 2" which trades out the preamps and adds a Pico-Maco antenna joiner. This will ensure your antenna set-up will not overload in the face of strong local stations.
Deep Fringe 2 Includes:
Winegard YA-1713
Antennas Direct 91XG
Channel Master rotor
Winegard HDP-269 preamp
3 sections of 5' mast
grounding rod
grounding block
100' copper grounding wire
combiner
Winegard Tripod antenna mount
Of course RG6 coax cable (if needed). We have standard lengths and custom lengths available. If multiple TV's, you will need to choose the appropriate passive (non amplified) splitter
Remember that, while a preamplifier may increase signal strength, it does NOT increase signal quality. A preamplifier is not a replacement for an inadequate antenna: it simply overcomes the losses associated with long coaxial cable runs and losses incurred by using splitters to divide the signal to multiple TV sets.
