I live in Colchester and I am surrounded by trees and hilly terrain between me and CBS/NBC/ABC. I was reading reviews on amazon about the small but powerful RCA ANT751. It sounds like a great antenna but my only concern is that it can not be rotated (although it seems to pickup signals from all directions). I was wondering if there are any other southeast residence who can "point me in the right direction" with the best antenna for my location. :D

Here is my map:

The ANT-751R is a very good antenna in situations with stronger signal levels. Most of the signals available to you are too weak to make the ANT-751R and good recommendation.

You'll need a large high gain antenna mounted in a location that's not blocked by trees. Most signals are UHF, but you also have a few High-VHF signals.

I'd consider using an Antennas Direct DB8e, Antennacraft Y10713 and an RCA TVPRAMP1R preamplifier.

If you're down in the trees with no way to get over or around them, your results are going to be affected adversely.
