Default Re: Dish antenna for trailer

Thanks for the reply but the solution is not a converter box or new air antenna. My TV is HD ready. The problem is the digital signal transmitted uses a much more narrow bandwidth and much less signal strength than the old analog signal. The result is very slight changes in antenna direction cause signal loss and unless near a reasonable size city bad or no signal strength. This is not something limited to a specific area. I have used my antenna form California to Maryland. And it is not a problem with my antenna as other trailer owners have the same problem. Some stations are still transmitting analog and digital side by side and the HD definatly looks nicer unfortunatly the digital signal is unreliable over any distance. This is nothing new though. The ads for the digital conversion have warned about these problems. I am looking for info on satalite systems for RVs.
