When the problem is Off-Air indoor DTV/HDTV reception for metropolitan/suburban consumers, where line-of-sight to the local transmit sources are blocked, the best solution is Winegard¡¯s new SharpShooterTM Antenna Platform.
Getting the best DTV/HDTV reception is all about the right antenna, which is now a necessity, not an accessory.
73 million TV sets in the US don¡¯t get their signals from cable or satellite, 45 million of which are in homes that rely exclusively on local, 'over-the-air' stations as their sole source of television. And let¡¯s not forget that Free HD is here, now, for those that can ¡°Get It¡±.
For consumers who can¡¯t or don¡¯t want an outside antenna, set-top antennas offer consumers the best way to receive local broadcaster's Digital TV signal over-the-air. And the only current way to receive true HDTV resolution (1080i) is with an Off-Air antenna or satellite broadcast signal and HDTV satellite is not free.
The single largest contributing factor to successful indoor DTV/HDTV antenna reception today is the ability of metropolitan/suburban consumers to buy the right antenna to specifically deal with multipath or reflected (balanced) signal. This is critical for downtown urban apartment/condominium dwellers living on the wrong side of a high-rise with respect to the transmit tower and want free HDTV.
This bounced signal is known in RF terms as multipath. It is imperative that any new digital antenna design specifically deals with this multipath issue. Winegard¡¯s SharpShooter indoor All-Band DTV/HDTV Digital/Analog Directional/Bi-directional Antenna Platform addresses this issue. It allows consumers to aim their SharpShooter antenna properly to choose the cleanest reflected digital signal off a wall in the room or a building across the street. This is made possible by the SharpShooter¡¯s ability to selectively look at each bounced multipath signal, one at a time, for channels 2 through 69 and by design, reject all unwanted multipath signals, to find the best signal possible.
This design characteristic allows consumers to properly select the cleanest digital signal possible and best digital data sources for the ATSC chip set to decode. It then delivers them in a format that the chip set in the receiver prefers and can resonate and process effectively, delivering the best DTV/HDTV picture possible, while rejecting other multipath signals, so critical for downtown urban locations.
And there is a huge need in the market for an indoor antenna that successfully addresses these issues. Outperforming all, all-band indoor digital antenna systems, there is no other indoor digital antenna platform that can do what the SharpShooter can do.
The SharpShooter¡¯s technical performance, low profile compact design which makes it esthetically pleasing for indoor use, absolutely make this new antenna more unique and better suited for the metropolitan/urban segment than any other indoor antenna platform on the market today. The unique resonate characteristics of this ¡°E-Field¡± antenna design allow the SharpShooter antenna to receive indoor analog and outstanding DTV signals up to 30 miles. All of this in an antenna that 26.75 inches wide, 5 inches high, 4.25 inches deep and weighs only 1.6 lbs is unheard of.
And it will be available just in time to meet the proliferation of the HDTV industry and subsequent exploding HDTV consumer market.
As a true testament to the acceptance of this unique and innovative new antenna platform design, this is only the second time in Winegard¡¯s 51-year history that a product has been pre-sold before it was available, the SquareShooter was the first.

Winegard SharpShooterTM Backgrounder
When the problem is Off-Air indoor DTV/HDTV reception for metropolitan/suburban consumers, where line-of-sight to the local transmit sources are blocked, the best solution is Winegard¡¯s new SharpShooterTM Antenna Platform.
Getting the best DTV/HDTV reception is all about the right antenna. And the best antennas are now necessities, not accessories.
73 million TV sets in the US don¡¯t get their signals from cable or satellite, 45 million of which are in homes that rely exclusively on local, 'over-the-air' stations as their sole source of television. And let¡¯s not forget that Free HD is here, now, for those that can ¡°Get It¡±. The CEA has projected that 8 million Digital TV products will be sold in 2005 and 10.5 million in 2006. 84.69% of the U.S. TV households are in markets with five or more DTV stations now. 1491 stations in 211 markets have made the transition to broadcasting a digital signal and are now delivering Digital signals serving 99.99% of the current US 4 million HDTV households, which are up from 1.6 million in March 2004.
For consumers who can¡¯t or don¡¯t want an outside antenna, set-top antennas offer consumers the best way to receive local broadcaster's Digital TV signal over-the-air. As many people have found out, they can't just bring home an HDTV set and use their old antenna system; they need to install a separate antenna for HDTV reception. The only current way to receive true HDTV resolution (1080i) is with an Off-Air antenna or satellite broadcast signals and HDTV satellite is not free. Satellite and even cable customers want the opportunity to receive free Off-Air DTV/HDTV signals.
By far, the majority of the new antenna market today is directed at metropolitan/suburban consumers. And the fastest growing sector of the market is in the Off-Air reception of HDTV broadcasts. With the number of digital stations rising, the amount of HDTV program doubling since last year and HDTV set sales soaring, Digital TV is fast becoming a necessity for high tech home theaters. The vast majority of these HDTV unit sales will be to these markets.
The single largest contributing factor to successful indoor digital antenna installation and DTV/HDTV reception today is the ability of these metropolitan/suburban consumers to buy the right antenna to specifically deal with multi-path or reflected signal. This is especially true where line-of-sight to the transmit source is usually blocked and the only signal they can receive is a bounced signal, such as off a wall or building. This is critical for downtown urban lapartment/condominium dwellers living on the wrong side of a high-rise with respect to the transmit tower. This bouncing is known in RF terms as multipath. This is a huge issue and significant challenge for digital antenna manufacturers.
This was also a major issue and significant challenge for the 45 million potential Off-Air DTV/HDTV customers, until the SharpShooter was introduced in November of last year. Winegard¡¯s SharpShooter SS-3000 indoor All-Band DTV/HDTV Digital/Analog Directional/Bi-directional Antenna Platforms addresses this issue by allowing the customer to aim the antenna properly to choose the cleanest reflected digital signal off a wall in the room or a building across the street. This is made possible by the SharpShooter¡¯s ability to selectively look at each bounced multi-path signal, one at a time for channels 2 through 69 and by design, reject all unwanted multi-path signals to find the best signal possible.
Multipath is the result of several different broadcast signals reaching the antenna out-of-phase with each other or at differing time intervals. This creates a digital multipath condition that delivers several sets of digital data 1¡¯s and 0¡¯s to the ATSC chipset out-of-phase and can confuse proper decoding. The ATSC chipset is not sure which set of digital data is the correct data bits to decode. If the amount of multi-path is too high, the ATSC chipset will not decode any data at all. Unlike analog television, the interference caused by reflected signals can prevent a receiver from getting enough digital information from the primary signal, causing a cliff effect and total loss of the picture also.
The metropolitan/urban market is the biggest segment of the HDTV market. It was not being served well by existing digital antennas until the release of Winegard¡¯s GETDTV/HDTv TM Series, starting with the outdoor SquareShooter last year, which is now Winegard¡¯s best selling Off-Air antenna.
It is imperative that any new digital antenna platform design specifically deals with this multi-path issue. The SharpShooterTM does this by selectively looking at each multi-path signal one at a time and by design tends to reject all other multi-paths, allowing the customer or installer to properly select the cleanest digital signal possible and best digital data sources for the ATSC chip set to decode. It then delivers them in a format that the chip set in the receiver prefers and can resonate and process effectively, delivering the best DTV/HDTV picture possible, while rejecting other multi-path signals so critical for downtown urban locations.
Why do we say the new SharpShooter is the best indoor DTV/HDTV antenna? Because it solves indoor DTV/HDTV problems no other indoor antenna can solve. The SharpShooter incorporates, for the first time together, both an ¡°E-Field¡± Ultra-Low Noise Amplifier and the same ¡±Scatter Plane¡± technology found in Winegard¡¯s SquareShooter? Series, to deal with these multi-path issues.
The simple electric field (E-field) sensing structure coupled to an electronic Ultra-Low Noise Amplifier is patented technology and digital architecture from Dotcast, a privately held broadband communications technology developer headquartered in Kent, Washington. Dotcast¡¯s Active Antenna Technology allowed Winegard, under an exclusive license agreement covering North America, to design and manufacture this new SharpShooter antenna incorporating Dotcast¡¯s technology. This addition provides reception that is as much as 225 times more powerful than traditional rabbit ears; in an antenna package design smaller than 1/3 the size of a typical indoor TV antenna. This resulted in Off-Air Digital TV reception that radically improves reception in neighborhoods and buildings where digital reception was not feasible.
Winegard¡¯s Scatter Plane technology neutralizes reflected, out-of-phase signals arriving at the back of the antenna element. SharpShooter antenna purchasers have the option of attaching the scatter plane to the back of the SharpShooter making it directional for pointing at local transmitter sources where the desired broadcast antennas are closely grouped. Or they can leave it off, to make the SharpShooter bi-directional to receive and resonate broadcast signals coming from several directions. This will depend specifically on were the consumer lives, were they are located relative to the local broadcast towers they want to receive and what may be blocking their line-of-site.
This antenna was specifically designed to reject multi-path and receive and resonate VHF/UHF
transmissions from reflected broadcast signals, by allowing the antenna to be pointed at
another reflective source, such as a building or wall, to capture the reflected signals and still be able to resonate quality DTV/HDTV signals. Sometimes reflected or balanced signals may be stronger than direct signals.
Other manufacturer¡¯s pre-amplifiers today typically deliver a noise figure of 4.0 dB or more. In contrast, the new technology found in the SharpShooter uses a truly unique non-traditional electromagnetic design for superior performance. This allowed Winegard to totally integrate the patent-pending Dotcast Ultra-Low Noise Amplifier design into Winegard¡¯s SharpShooter antenna platform.
With a demonstrably low noise figure of less than 1dB, the SharpShooter¡¯s Ultra-Low Noise Amplifier design significantly improves the carrier-to-noise ratio. This new technology, together with Winegard¡¯s ¡°Scatter-Plane¡± design, delivers an average beam-width of 55 degrees and a front-to-back digital multipath rejection ratio, its gain in a specific direction, of 6.5dB, providing the SharpShooter its muscle to reject multi-path signals and to deliver a low-noise digital signal as no other antenna can, in today¡¯s market.
The resonate characteristics of this ¡°E-Field¡± antenna design breakthrough also provides for a much smaller antenna that resonates throughout the entire VHF/UHF band-pass channels 2 through 69 in a platform that is 26.75¡± inches or less in size. The unique reception characteristics of this very small SharpShooter antenna allow it to receive and resonate indoor analog and outstanding DTV signals up to 30 miles from the transmit source. This fact is unheard of in an antenna package that is 5 inches high, 4.25 inches deep and weighs only 1.6 lbs, making it a true engineering marvel.
And there is a huge need in this market for an indoor antenna that successfully addresses these issues. Outperforming all, all-band indoor digital antenna systems, there is no other indoor digital antenna platform that can do what the SharpShooter can do. This is why Winegard feels that Off-Air antennas should no longer be thought of, by the trade media, as an accessory.
Antennas were originally put in this accessory category, although Winegard is vigorously attempting to make the point that they are no longer accessories. The FCC, in their press conference last October launching their ¡°DTV Get It¡± educational initiative, did touch on the need for the right DTV/HDTV antenna. Winegard will continue to help the FCC educate consumers by supplying information to them about Off-Air antennas, the does and don'ts of selection and installation and the right antenna¡¯s very important role in getting free local HD reception.
The point is that the right DTV/HDTV antenna, considering the role reflected signal plays, is not an option, it is now a requirement. Most of the DTV/HDTV antennas returned to retailers are either the wrong antenna for the location or are in perfect working order and returned because of faulty installation techniques. This means there is a huge need to educate consumers and retailers alike about receiving free Off-Air Digital and HDTV signals.
The SharpShooter¡¯s technical performance, low profile compact design which makes it esthetically pleasing for indoor use and installation, absolutely make this new antenna more unique and better suited for the metropolitan/urban segment than any other indoor antenna platform on the market today. And it will be available just in time to meet the proliferation of the HDTV industry and subsequent exploding HDTV consumer market.
The SharpShooter is built in the USA at Winegard¡¯s facilities in Burlington Iowa. As a true testament to the acceptance of this unique and innovative new antenna platform design, this is only the second time in Winegard¡¯s 51-year history that a product has been pre-sold before it was available, the SquareShooter being the first.

Winegard Introduces
The SharpShooter
The Best All-Band DTV/HDTV Digital/Analog
Directional/Bi-Directional indoor Antenna
On The Market
For Metropolitan/Suburban Consumers
The Next Innovation In Winegard¡¯s
GETDTV/HDTVTM Antenna Series
For Indoor Reception of DTV/HDTV Broadcasts
Burlington, Iowa, The right Off-Air DTV/HDTV Antenna is now a Necessity, not an Accessory. Getting the best Off-Air picture starts with the choice of the best antenna for today¡¯s reception challenges. The SharpShooterTM ?SS-3000 is Winegard¡¯s newest Off-Air Antenna adding to its series of innovative new digital Antenna Platforms. This is a continuation of Winegard¡¯s GETDTV/HDTvTM Series and will be introduced at CES 2005, along with the introduction of Winegard¡¯s new SquareShooter SS-2000, a more powerful amplified version of the outdoor SquareShooter SS-1000.
Bob Howell, Director, Distribution Systems/Off-Air Antenna Business Group at Winegard said, ¡°The single largest contributing factor to successful digital antenna installation and DTV/HDTV reception today is the ability of the metropolitan/suburban consumer to buy an antenna that deals with multi-path or reflected signal. This is a major issue and significant challenge for digital antenna manufacturers and installers, anticipated and addressed last year with the introduction of our SquareShooter SS-1000 outdoor High-Band VHF/UHF Digital/Analog/HDTV Antenna System, specifically designed for digital reception of reflected signals. The SS-1000 was selected as an Honoree in the 2004 Innovations Design and Engineering Showcase.¡±
It is imperative that any new digital antenna platform design specifically deals with this multi-path issue. The SharpShooterTM does this by selectively looking at each multi-path signal one at a time and by design tends to reject all other multi-paths, allowing the customer or installer to properly select the cleanest digital signal possible and best digital data sources for the ATSC chip set to decode. It then delivers them in a format that the chip set in the receiver prefers and can resonate and process effectively, delivering the best DTV/HDTV picture possible, while rejecting other multi-path signals so critical for downtown urban locations.
The metropolitan/urban market is the largest segment of the HDTV market and was not being served well by existing digital antennas until the release of Winegard¡¯s GETDTV/HDTVTM Series, starting with the SquareShooter?. This new addition, the SharpShooterTM, incorporates a specialized ¡°E-Field¡± design, a significant new innovation by DotcastTM,? combined with Winegard¡¯s ¡±Scatter Plane¡± technology.
¡°Pre-amplifiers today typically deliver a noise figure of 4.0 dB or more. In contrast, the new technology found in the SharpShooter uses a truly unique non-traditional electromagnetic design for superior performance. This allowed Winegard to totally integrate our patent-pending DotcastTM Ultra-Low Noise Amplifier design into Winegard¡¯s SharpShooter antenna platform. With a demonstrably high carrier to noise ratio of <1dB, our Ultra-Low Noise Amplifier design significantly improves the carrier-to-noise ratio¡±, said Leo Hoarty, Dotcast¡¯s Chief Technical Officer. This new technology, together with Winegard¡¯s ¡°Scatter-Plane¡± design, delivers an average beam-width of 65 degrees and a front-to-back ratio of 6.5dB, providing the SharpShooter its muscle to reject multi-path signals and to deliver a low-noise digital signal as no other antenna can, in today¡¯s market.
The unique reception characteristics of this 26.75" wide SharpShooter allow it to receive and resonate indoor analog and outstanding DTV signals up to 30 plus miles from the transmit source. This fact is unheard of in an antenna package of this size, making it a true engineering marvel. The SharpShooter¡¯sTM technical performance, esthetic design and installation options, absolutely make this new antenna more unique and better suited for the metropolitan/urban segment than any other antenna platform on the market today and will be available just in time to meet the proliferation of the HDTV industry and subsequent exploding HDTV consumer market.
Half-wave length propagation theorem for channel 2 at 54 mega-hertz is about 104 inches. The resonate characteristics of this ¡°E-Field¡± antenna design breakthrough also provides for a much smaller antenna that resonates throughout the entire VHF/UHF band-pass channels 2 through 69 in a platform that is 26.75¡± inches or less in size. Specifically designed to receive and resonate DTV/HDTV transmissions from reflected broadcast signals, the SharpShooterTM is uniquely suited for urban/metropolitan locations where line-of-sight to the transmit source is blocked, allowing apartment/condominium dwellers to now receive digital broadcasts.
Howell went on to say ¡°There is a huge need in this market for an indoor antenna that successfully addresses these issues. Outperforming all, all-band indoor digital antenna systems, there is no other indoor digital antenna platform on the market today that can do what the SharpShooterTM can do. It solves problems no other indoor antenna can solve. If you want the best DTV/HDTV picture, you start by selecting the best antenna. As a true testament to the acceptance of this unique and innovative new antenna platform design, this is only the second time in Winegard¡¯s 50-year history that a product has been pre-sold before it was available, the SquareShooter being first. This is why I feel that Off-Air antennas can no longer be classified as an accessory.¡±
