Rural Area Antenna Recommendation Needed

[kent]

I'm really glad I found this site! What frustration weeding through the scams and the lies on the web for something that appeared to be an easy task,,,,,buy an antenna that works for my location.
I've been reading what seems to be great advice here and before I pull the trigger on a purchase I would greatly value the advice from the community.

My signals will be coming from Houston and fortunately seem to be in a relatively common direction (NNE 24-25 degrees).

I'm mainly interested in the usual channels (ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX,,,,,) and the other VHF and UHF within that reach.

Being in the south part of Texas the terrain is flat. I do have tall trees about 300 feet from the house in the direct of the NNE signals.

I put together different heights on the following TVF reports;
10 feet - http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=29&q=id%3d1dda1238d8c34c
15 feet - http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=29&q=id%3d1dda20efc0415a
20 feet - http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=29&q=id%3d1dda7d76d8ca27
25 feet - http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=29&q=id%3d1dda433c5e7f5f

Thanks in advance for your help!!

As always , trees and tree leaves , plants and plant leaves , do a good job of , absorbing , multi-path/reflecting , blocking , Digital Broadcast Tv reception and so do buildings and other obstructions including your own roof and house.

It is best practice to install the HD7698P antenna at a location that has the least amount to no amount of obstructions of any type or kind in the directions of reception including your own roof and house.

The Tv's Must Channel Scan for the , OTA=Over The Air , Digital Broadcast Tv stations/channels , often named the 'Air Channels' or 'Antenna Channels' in the Tv Setup Menu because the Tv transmissions travel through the Air from the transmitting antenna to the receiving antenna.

Some Digital Tv's will Automatic channel scan for cable tv channels.

DO NOT channel scan for cable tv channels.

Go into the Tv Setup Menu and select , 'Air Channels' ~ 'Antenna CHannels'.
