Best Preampfilier for Indoor Outdoor Antenna

Why do I need Pre Amplifier ?

This is common question shows up to you. 

When you TV reception interfere with near FM station or your TV can not pick up several channels. 

These common problems solved with the preamplifier installed.  

Preamplifier helps pick up channels that your non-amplified antenna alone may not be able to pick up. 

Additionally, the preamplifier minimizes pixelization and drop-outs.

What We should look at Preamplifier , before we buy it ? 

These common ideal question and answer must applied to the preAmplifier that you choose. 

Ask these

1.  Does The preamplifier work with any antenna ?  The preamplifier that works with any passive/non-amplified antenna is better than the specific one

2. Does The preamplifier work with VHF & UHF signalsTypical gain for VHF is 20 dB (lo) and 15 dB (hi) and for UHF is 18 dB.

3. Does the preamplifier have an FM trap ? The preamplifier should have built-in FM trap that attenuates FM signal so that it does not interfere with digital TV channels. 

4. What is the noise figure of the preamplifier ? The preamplifier has a typical noise figure of 1 dB for UHF and 3 dB for VHF. 

5. Can I use a splitter with the preamplifier ? The preamplifier can be used to distribute signal to multiple TVs. 

Based on the spec I have mention above, I pick it for you 3 the best preamplifier for indoor outdoor antenna that serve in the market.

How to pointing your dish network azimuth skew and elevation finder ?

Pointing Dish Network

Winegard(tm) Carryout(tm) Anser Antenna is a portable satellite system that required a user elevation setting to automatically acquire the desired satellite. 


Winegard Anser Antenna

As the user, you will need to know which satellite you would like to view and the corresponding elevation angle for that satellite. 

Under “Compatible Satellites,” different popular satellite options are outlined along with the programming offered via each satellite. 

Elevation and coverage maps are also included to help you determine the correct elevation angle and coverage for certain satellites.


The Anser Carryout Antenna for use with Dish Network and Bell TV, and DirectTV.


Parts Of Antenna



Antenna in Deployed Position



Antenna in Stowed Position



Simple step Installation Anser antenna 


  • Find elevation angle - via receiver menu or provided maps*. 

  • Hook up the antenna - manually set the elevation to the correct elevation angle for your area. 

  • Get to the signal meter-screen on your receiver. 

  • Plug in the unitthe unit will search and find the strongest signal. 

  • If the system stops-on a signal but is not on the desired satellite for viewing, the unit will move to the next signal found in 45 seconds. 
  • Once you have signal on your desired satellite - unplug the power to the unit. 

  •   Watch TV! 

How To Pointing Antenna ?

The Principle of Pointing an Antenna, you need only two information, The information about the Azimuth and the elevation number that point the antenna to the Satellite that will serve your receiver ? 

picture courtesy : promaxelectronics.com

See the picture describe the Azimuth the position of antenna from the North compass and the Elevation is the corner degree antenna from horizon . 

Just the simple like that...



*Elevation angles may not be displayed in the receiver menu for satellite 72° (recommended as a single satellite solution for DISH® HD programming) or 129°. 

If the elevation angle is not displayed in the receiver menu, use the provided elevation and coverage maps to find the elevation angle for your current location.

Compatible Satellites

For Dish Network

Set To :

72°: Eastern satellite, recommended for HD programming

129°: Western satellite, majority of HD programming

119°: Majority of std. programming

110°: Some standard programming, limited HD programming




Elevation Maps


How to use the maps ?

  • Determine which satellite you want to point at - Maps are provided for Dish 72, Dish 110, Dish 119, Dish 129, DirectTV 101, Bell TV 82, and Bell TV 91.
  • On the corresponding map-find your location.
  • Determine the elevation angle- closest to your current location.
  • Use this elevation angle to help point your antenna- Keep in mind that the elevation angles provided are approximate. 
  • If having trouble-locking onto signal with the elevation angle provided, try adjusting the angle ±2–3 degrees.


Example :


Your current location is in Colorado, and satellite is Dish 72 for HD Programming. Find your Elevation ?

Answer :

So look at Dish 72 Map below , for Colorado elevation is 33, so adjust your elevation to 33 degree from Horizon.

I attached a US map to make it easier to find your location and match the elevation map





Here the lists elevation maps 

Maps For Dish Network











Maps for DirectTV



Maps for Bell TV




TIP 

The 72° satellite is recommended as a single satellite solution for DISH® HD programming. In the Northwest, the extremely low elevation angle may present issues in getting clear line-of-sight to the satellite. 

In those circumstances, use one of the western satellites (110°, 119°, or 129°). 


Note that the 72° and 129° satellites require an HD receiver. circumstances, use one of the western satellites (110°, 119°, or 129°). 


Note that the 72° and 129° satellites require an HD receiver.
