    Default Amplified antenna question

    I was just wondering if you can boost the signal strength of a already amplified antenna and how if its possible.my digiwave ant-5006 is already amplified can I make it even stronger without destroying it

    I think what you need is a translator. You put an antenna on the mountain to pick up signals, then either passively re-transmit the signals to you or convert the signals to another channel and transmit those. The 2nd option requires permission of the originating TV stations if you exceed certain power levels (as most likely would) and FCC licences--without those you are a "pirate".
    One of the reasons I use sites like this one is because with satellite dishes you can pick up TV signals that might not get to you in other ways.

    Go to the site in the link below, enter your location, then where it says AGL enter your antennas elevation above ground, the see what you can get from that direction, if nothing looks to be with range try raising the AGL higher till you do, this will tell you whats going on.

    That antenna you have will work in the green area, the further out the signal gets from center the bigger the antenna will have the be.
