We are looking to drop our ridiculously expensive and mostly useless cable TV and use OTA television in addition to a Tablo as a DVR and a couple of Rokus for Amazon Prime and Netflix. We are using a high-quality indoor antenna, but still getting pixelation on some channels. We can't really install an antenna in our attic because the roof is very shallow. So it needs to go on the roof, or on a wall and extend up over the roof. This is not a job we are capable of tackling ourselves.

But finding a reputable, professional installer has turned out to be much more difficult than I expected. Does anyone here have any suggestions or recommendations?

I did not know that electricians performed this type of work?

Now everyone is considering becoming a "cable cutter" happy we were way ahead of the curve on this! :-) He's a professional and extremely knowledgeable with an Electronic Engineering degree.

Have a great day!
Thanks very much for the reference, that is very helpful.

Hope you have a great day, too!
