As for the DTV antenna I installed a "Jack" DTV antenna last year. I didn't do my research well enough so I have the antenna mounted on the original "crank up" mount. It uses the 12dc from the old system to power a built in amp in the antenna. DO NOT TRY TO USE BOTH There is a kit that removes the entire crank up antenna system and replaces it with a "Jack" that has a rota-tor and a built in signal strength meter. You can tell if you have a signal without even turning on a TV. I also uses the 12Vdc from the old antenna system again disable the amp in the wall but still send the 12Vdc to the antenna. I think I will buy the newer mount for mine.
BTW You will see a lot of negative reviews of the Jack antenna. Mine works great. I am a retired Electronics Tech with over 45 years experience.

I would have the Tailgater too but I'm cheap and the regular dish is about $250 cheaper.
Nice to know that an addition dish added is only $7.
I've been activating just the one for about $60 a month.
