Any time a KZbinr can post a positive uplifting string of content, especially with being eco-friendly, you two will be superstars almost right away. It's always refreshing to see REAL people doing life, challenging themselves, and posting it all. KZbin is sadly full of negative trash for sensationalism purposes. Thank you for deciding to broadcast your journey!

1. Cabling - Make sure you're using the best, low-loss cable. 2. Antennae - Precise aiming, as well as separation and positioning optimize reception. Mount the antennae on the same plane, separated by at least four feet, and angle the bottoms toward each other at an approximate 30° angle. 3. Signal booster - Expensive? Perhaps. Worth it? Absolutely. These solutions will amplify the received signal. Turning three bars into five, no problem. All the best.

The thicker the coax the lower the loss. USE NO MORE THAN ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, IT'LL SAVE A BUCKET ON BOOSTERS AND GIVE RECIPROCITY: UP AND DOWN SIMILAR. AT the high frequencies cell signals work at, reducing cable loss is paramount. (old radio tech)

QUESTION: The power pole you have your wireless internet modem antennas on, does the transformer on that power pole have a ground wire from the top of the pole coming down and into the ground to a copper ground lead at the base of the pole ? If if does, then you need to put a lightening surge protector on those antenna wires coming into your modem, to keep lightening strikes on the lines connected to the top of that pole from following your antenna wires into your home and burning out your equipment.

​@@life.uncontained Opensignal only shows towers that have been mapped by a device on that brand. so unless someone with a pink device has been running the app while cruzing in your neighborhood they wont have anything, only a guesstimate based on signal strenght. Use that to find the actual tower on a sat map and then point your antennas based on that new information. The receiver wont update its signal fast enough to get more than general hand aiming. you might try doing that with only one antenna and then addiing the second afterwards.

@@charlesmasclef1309 a phone has a fixed antenna and circuitry that you cannot change. Phones are designed with an assumption that you will be near a tower. In this couple's case they aren't using a phone. They are using a MoFi router with directional antennas designed to pick up long distant signals from far away. Depending on their setup (positioning, type of antenna, elevation, feed line and amplifier) they can improve their signal reception. They said in their video that they were going to do research to help improve their signal reception. However we haven't seen any update on their internet setup and whether or not they've made improvements. I personal was considering an off the grid setup in the future. So knowing what worked and didn't work would definitely help someone like me have an idea of what I can do for myself in the future for an off the grid internet solution. Also I think you need to watch this video again. These guy talk about their subscription to Unlimited Ville which gives them unlimited internet service over 4G networks.

Internet bandwidth is not a measurement of speed, it is a measurement of volume. You are not measuring how fast the data gets to you, but how much data gets to you per unit time (DATA AMOUNT per SECOND). It is not how fast the water flows over the waterfall, but how MUCH flows over every second. Stop calling it 'speed'. Speed is also known as 'latency', or the time it takes for signals to travel along the medium (be it a wire or the air), and it is measured in milliseconds.

Put a add or check on Craigslist in your area. Many homes have now gone to cable in town. many also have TV antenna towers from before. In most cases you can get them for free. Sometimes you may have too take them down yourself. All you will need is a grinder/cutter. of some kind to cut the old bolts off. Attaching A pulley on a chain to hang from the tower bracket that is highest point on the house, 2 Ropes one in the pulley for lowering 2nd for directing the tower away from power lines or other buildings, will let you bring it down safely , Use a hydraulic jack and 2 boards to separate tower sections for hauling away after you cut off the old bolts that is I hpoe this helps.

Inquire with T-Mobile where the nearest tower is and ask if the would consider putting a tower out on your property for you and your neighbors. There’s financial advantages to having a provider lease property for their towers. 😀 I would think you metal roof would cause attenuation (signal grounding). That’s why you get better reception off of the pole.

Hey guys, this is a very old video and I assume you already either fixed your reception issues or have other things more important in hand, either way few suggestions. Find a way to mount the router closest to the antennas. Unless you ordered some extremely expensive coax cables, the attenuation will be severe and most of the signal you would be picking up with those antennas will be lost in the cable. Just get the router up there and the run an ethernet cable back to the barn where you can attach another router to it for wireless. If you turn off DHCP on the second router and attach the cable from the first one to the second on the LAN ports, your first router would be able to handle IPs seamlessly, so it would be like you are attached directly to the providers router.

Hi guys, been watching a few of your videos and they've been very entertaining. Thought I'd throw in some food for thought. I've got background in sat and cell tech and one of the factors in setup has always been line of sight. Whether it's been tree branches or structures, pointing to a tower or satellite always had best results when the line of sight is unhindered. If it were me setting up for signal, I'd find out the direction of your tower/towers, and position your antenna so there are the least amount of interference, preferably a mount with no inference. Your signal will probably not get any better than the three bars but that's just the nature of the beast but you can at least reduce, say, swaying branch interruptions. Hope that helps even if a little.

If there is ever an interruption in service I loose dsl forever. That means I can’t even change the bill. I had to add my name to the previous owners name on the bill. If I have them remove the previous owners name there will be an interruption and I’ll be s.o.l. So the bill I pay comes to the old owner and myself both on the bill.

You’re so fortunate! We can’t get anything yet at all where we are building! There’s no cable or anything. Not even any cell phone service! We have to drive about 15 minutes to even get a cell signal.

You do know some companies will pay you to use your land to put a cell tower up with the approval of the town of course. It wouldnt hurt to look into it. It may give you free service. Yet again if they are paying then most your expenses for intenet or other things might be free. Its an option.

Who does your aerial photography and what do they use? I see that it's super stable and crystal clear. I know that there are some relatively inexpensive drones and Gopro clones that almost anyone can fly successfully. That place is really beautiful. Do NOT allow the stress of what you are doing affect your health and relationship. I know from experience that it can work on you. So keep that communication open and realize you will get through this stronger and wiser.

Q/A. I may have missed the video where you discuss buying the property but I'll ask anyway. Apparently there used to be a house on that property. Have you checked for a septic tank or did you already install one? Have you checked to see if there is a well? Don't be like that city in Saudi Arabia that but a beautiful city but forgot to install a sewage system.

Ouch! I'm lucky enough to be in a service area of a dedicated link wireless provider. Have an oval BBQ grill type microwave dish mounted to my cargo container. Service is solid as a rock, even in a major white out blizzard. I pay $39.95 a month flat rate for a data cap free 2 meg link. My entire system with WiFi router uses 28 Watts.

Since you guys should get the TV off the grid too check out Tiger Stream or Free Stream. All you need is wireless internet the box and HDMI cable which they provide and you will be truly off the grid with all the TV services you could want for free, all you do is pay one time for the box and it is totally legal too.

I love watching your videos. Thanks for this internet video. We are in the country in Texas and use a MoFi router on AT&T through a reseller. How has your internet been? I use a pair of Wilson Yagi antennas like you did, but I was told to angle them 45 degrees off center and the one below it the other way by 45 degrees. I have mine on a 50’ tower and they are poor, but ok. Internet in the remote places is sketchy. Let me know where you learned about the Wilson antennas and what advice or instructions they gave you for installation. Thanks so much!
