I'd love to get rid of Dish, but still get the local ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX channels. We live down in a valley, and back when TV was analog, and before DISH, we had a roof antennae with a rotor, and could get about 2 1/2 channels via it.
Now they've all gone digital, but I figure a roof antennae wouldn't do much more than it did before....we just don't have good line of sight to the broadcast antennas.
BUT I do have access to the top of our mountain, and from there, I figure I could get a signal from all the locals. Problem is, that is 2500' up the mountain (at an angle, about 800' of elevation change). Running cable would be near impossible from there.
Is there some equipment I could get a signal from a digital antennae into, then get it wireless down to my house and into my TV ?
I do have power at the top of the mountain, and 100' tower to put the antennae on (used for wireless internet in the past, the company died, so I have DSL for now)? Line of sight from tower to house.
Thanks.
