by Art
(San Diego, CA)

I have installed a digital converter box in my Toy Hauler; however I am not able to receive any TV stations here in San Diego, Ca.

I was in Ocotillo Wells Desert this week with my Toy Hauler, which is about a 2 hour drive from here, I scanned for stations in that area
and could only receive two stations, but they were both Spanish TV stations, I have an Amplified Winegard Rooftop Antenna, Why am
I am unable to receive stations here in San Diego.

ANSWER: Greetings Art thanks for submitting your question on our Ask An RV Question Page.

As you have probably guessed by now the Digital TV Signals being transmitted by the majority of TV Stations are not as easily picked up as the Analog Signals. With the Digital Signals you either get them or you don't.
There are a couple of steps you can take right now to help improve your chances for receiving these signals. Since you already have a Winegard Amplified Antenna on your 5th Wheel, the first thing you should do is install their new Winegard RV-WING Wingman Sensor Antenna Upgrade.

The Wingman was designed to increase the reception db gain of Digital UHF channels by 100%. It simply snaps onto your existing Winegard Sensor Head Antenna. Take a look at the video below for more information.

The second thing you can do is buy a signal amplifier. The one I personally recommend is the PCT 1-PORT BI-DIRECTIONAL TV SIGNAL BOOSTER. The reason I recommend this booster is because it is highly rated by people who own it. It boosts both Digital and Analog signals, It is easy to install and can be used on systems that use an antenna to receive signals as well as cable TV systems. It also supports pay-per view and video on demand. The most important factor is that it can improve signal strength by up to 32 times (15 dB). If this does not get you a better signal then nothing else will.

Hopefully by following these steps you will increase the number of digital channels you receive in your Toy Hauler.
