Lights and TV
 

Here is the turn light on the drivers side of my rig, I not found the the teardrop shape Yet, Bob and Bushpilot help me with my clearance, have these to find? Any help beside Freightliner?

TV: what antenna set up is everyone using? I have a Roadstar that I am not sure is digital yet, ( to be figured out) I have read the reviews on the digital ones and they are not the best. I am also looking at the King Jack with the build in meter ( good reviews)... but you have to cut a hole thru the roof....I don't want to do that! is there a motorized one out there that works?

Thanks

Sam

LIGHTS: Ive got the same ones. I found LED replacements at a local truck chrome shop - i couldn't find them on-line.

ANTENNAs: I have the Winegard Road Star RS2000 - its like ANY antenna will pick up Over The Air - you do NOT need a special antenna to pick up OTA Digital TV (DTV).

the batwings and jack antennas have to be pointed - and may need to be re-aimed overtime you change to a different station... the batwings & jack have longer range and can pick up station further away.

the RoadStar (round) antennas are omni-directional & never have to be aimed or pointed, just turn it on and let your digital ready tv (or your digital to analog converter) scan/find & programs the station list.

MY experience w/ the RoadStar RS2000 is that the range is pretty good - and certainly good enough for most camping....i am more than 30 miles from the Houston Broadcast transmitter antennas and i get a great signal (even when the coach is in my METAL storage building), if I'm in a remote area i don't believe ANYTHING is really going to work well (unless you pick have a tower).

I use TWO OTA HDTV websites -

Antenna Web - will provide you with the DISTANCE & Direction of the HDTV Broadcast transmitters and it will tell you what direction (in degrees) - i find that you can get different results, depending on if you use just he location zip code or the actual location address.

TitanTV - is the equivalent of a realtime (and future) TV Guide / Program Guide or Channel Program list of whats on TV, right now....you just type in your zipcode or address & select the option for what broadcast provider you're using....cable, satellite or OTA.

BOTH of these websites or APPS have mobile options (for your phone)....great for when traveling & they'll even use your "present" location (if you enable "location based services" for the apps).


Ive attached a the screen shot image/map & station listing (the results from AntennaWeb).

I should ADD -

regarding TitanTV - if you create an account it will save your settings & you can save multiple locations (if you frequent different broadcast areas).

regarding the LED LIGHTS - if you want me to go by the shop to figure out who makes them and how much they are, just let me know - i can also pick up a pair if you'll pay for them and the shipping.

Thanks for the TV infor! as for the lights please buy them for me, and tell me what the shipping etc is, and I can get you your money any way you want it. my address
