There are some new exciting products out in the market when it comes to antenna, with the HD digital age and so forth, the old batwing will still work to get a digital signal. However, there are some new products and this happens to be the Wineguard, it's the Rayzar Automatic. And it's just going to automatically find our towers around with this system here we got to bring it up in it's directional. It gets about half of the signal strength out of it. So it's kind of nice to upgrade.
Very simple to do if I already have a batwing up here, I don't have to take that completely out. I can hook I'm gonna set this up. It's got three feet. We want the co-ax section to go to the backside. Now that the requirements for this, it needs to be at least 12 inches from the sides, at least 24 inches from the front.
So as you can see, I've got a wide open area. I can put it anywhere if I had a roof antenna excuse me an AC unit or something, I'd kind of want to keep it a little bit away from any of those other items mounted on the top. Now as I said before, I could simply take the pin off of this, use this existing co-ax cable here to hook to the back of it. Connect that right there, Mark the feet, put it in that co-ax is already pre-wired up to my front entertainment center. So I wouldn't have to run any new wires, anything like that.
With a unit like this, just to kind of clean it up, we're going to take this existing batwing off of here, Mount this over the top of it, we're going to have to reseal, put a new plate and a new cover piece on the inside. But if you want real quick installation of this unit, you simply put it in here, hook your co-ax to it. Now once we get it hooked up, we hit that search button. It's going to do a triangular pattern and find all the towers. So when I hit my channel search button on my TV, it's going to find those automatically for me.
I don't have to move anything around. I don't have to worry about the unit going up and down. So really handy antenna to have really easy to install.
WHERE IS THE REST OF THE INSTALL VIDEO,, i DID NOT PAY $79.00 FORA TWO MINUTES OVERVIEW
I'm looking for a better way to receive better wifi signals when I'm in a campground that provides it. I've found I rarely have a strong enough signal to get anything when I'm inside my motorhome. I've seen an ad for a repeater designed for RV's but was $500. Could you let me know about how to get better signals inside our RV? Maybe it could be a good topic for another video!
What was the point in showing that when you prefaced it but it won't work in here surrounded by mail. You got to HD stations when you hooked it up outside. I bought one of these it gets zero stations when it claims it will get them for 50 miles. You cannot use them inside it is worthless. Just like that video was.
Where can I find more info on the winegard rayzar...price..models etc.
the video on the rayzar automatic antenna would be neat if showed how to install it. you could have done that at a tabletop and not sitting on an RV. I don't know how to screw into a roof and seal it; that info would have been helpful....
