My brother has an older tube TV in his garage, which is about 150 feet from the house. He initially thought about trenching coax all the way back to the garage, but by the time he'd rent a trencher, buy 150ft of conduit, etc it would cost way too much and I'm not sure the max length that coax can be run?? He really only wants to watch the local channels for some Sunday football anyway.
So, I suggested he get an OTA digital converter for the TV. It seemed like a simpler / more cost effective solution. He picked up a OTA converter from our local Best Buy last week, but it didn't work too well. The signal kept cutting out. The only experience that I have with OTA channels is with the built in tuner in our upstairs TV. So, I figured that I'd come here to get some suggestions for OTA converters for him. As I'm typing this I guess that another option is to pick up a new TV with a built in OTA antenna, but for right now I'd like to look into making this work with the existing TV. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
