Switches and rotors pretty much assume you watch live, only one thing at a time. This is an incorrect assumption in a world of timer recording.

He's been successful in both places, using an Antennas Direct DB4 antenna indoors. Same one I'm using.And everyone on my block is getting Dish, DirecTV or Cox because they can't get reception. Even the old-timers who are hold-outs against any new technology. A couple purchased 'converter' boxes and those didn't work. They were pretty ticked off to say the least. I wonder what % of converter boxes sold are returned?I'm getting a second DB4, for Christmas, along with a Winegard 75 ohm combiner. I'll be trying to get better reception of Baltimore channels, by aiming the two DB4s in slightly different directions. If the combiner doesn't work, I can fall back to a simple switch.Thanks for proving my point. Most people don't want antenna farms and switches all over their property.
