Since switching from analog to digital, we are very unimpressed with over the air TV. We can get China and Russia well, but not close by local stations.<br /><br />Fortunately, we have satellite TV too, so we seldom need the over the air antenna. But if this is a great improvement, it may be worth it to switch for the times we have too much tree coverage.<br /><br />Paul (& Marti)Paul and Marti Dahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17332654035718777839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9062337474734435253.post-91007288355883408992012-06-28T07:35:57.173-07:002012-06-28T07:35:57.173-07:00Wow that looks like a big job.

We have the wingman on ours and frankly I am not sure how much it improved our reception, if any.<br /><br />She is getting reception at our present location as good or better. No more channels but we aren't in a great location for lots of channels.<br /><br />The reasons I was drawn to the Jack is that it does not have to be raised and lowered. It should not rattle in winds which we have plenty of out west and finally it has the built in signal meter so you can see as you rotate where the best signal is which eliminates the rotate and scan and repeat cycle.<br /><br />Based on everything I have read from actual users the Jack gets as good or better reception than the Winegard with wingman and I will be happy if it is just as good.<br /><br />JimJim and Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13982110996137470496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9062337474734435253.post-43674900283028951452012-06-27T10:30:05.951-07:002012-06-27T10:30:05.951-07:00So the 64 dollar question is: Does the antenna wo...So the 64 dollar question is: Does the antenna work better?

That's one thing about Lazy Daze that I really like, when they put stuff on the roof, they really seal it up! Give him time to contemplate, and soon he will be back up there on his own roof, ready to turn the air blue once again!!
