Trying to cut the cord and need some help picking the right antenna. I have a DirecTV dish mounted on the roof and would like to replace it with an antenna. I think by what little I can understand from my location report that I will need a multi directional antenna, however I have no clue what one I should buy that will work well and fit into the mounting bracket. My link is: http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=29&q=id%3d46ae21de24dbfa

Any help would be appreciated:D

Aim the CM4220HD antenna at about 150 degree magnetic compass direction.

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'.

Scan for channels.
