How can I cut my TV watching costs?
Did you know that you can still get TV stations for free, with an antenna? That’s right, you can still get television signals for local stations in the Hutchinson area. (Stronger east of Hutchinson and weaker west of Hutchinson) For about $400 Dostal Electronics can install a new antenna system and you can start getting reception of free TV.
What kind of antenna do I need?
You will need an UHF/VHF antenna. We typically recommend a Channel Master because of durability and signal gain ratios. With your antenna you will be able to pick up must local stations, such as PBS, CBS, NBC, FOX, WB and ABC.
How high do I need to mount my antenna?
The higher the better. We typically recommend 10’ above the peak of the roof.
What if I already have an antenna?
If you have an existing antenna it is likely ready to be used by you. But if you would like an evaluation of your system we can make arrangements to do that for you. You may need new electronics for the antenna. You will need either a digital tuner or new television to receive the new digital signals.
Will my antenna work in bad weather?
Antenna signal is still impacted by various weather conditions. A thunderstorm my cause some reception problems as well as high humidity. But it is not as sensitive as satellite signals are. So that thunder storm rolling though or blizzard blowing in likely won’t stop you from watching the latest storm report.
