Hi guys,
I could really use some advice. We're just completing construction of a new home. I had them run cable from the attic to a distribution box in the basement. I have cable going to 3 rooms from there.
I am going to mount antenna(s) in the attic of my 2 story house. I am locked into the attic installation despite the signal degradation I realize that causes. The house has common vinyl siding and shingle roof. On a positive note, it is a big attic area with room for any size/multiple antennas so this doesn't limit my antenna choices.
The terrain out the front of the house (which directly faces the East) is open and flat with a neighborhood across the street 400 or 500 feet away. The North, West, and South have flat terrain but some tall trees (up to 100 feet tall) that serve as a signal obstruction.
I would basically like to get as many channels as possible given the limitations of the attic install and trees and I'm willing to employ multiple antennas, combiners, pre-amps, etc. However, I need a solid recommendation of what combination of antennas and equipment would be good fit.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
