I would like to ask for help choosing an outdoor antenna (and amplifier if needed) for our place in Wallingford (Seattle, WA).

We live in a dense neighboorhood that has a large house and trees 8-10 feet to the south (direction of most signals).

Our viewing would be in the basement.

The coaxial cable run will be about 50 feet and I can get it up about 15 on an eave or possibly 20 to 25 feet up on the roof.

Currently I have a cheap indoor/outdoor antenna that is on the eave 15 high. It picks up around 12-16 channels, but not ABC, NBC, or PBS which I would like to get.

Setup:
Projector- Epson 8350
TV Tuner- Mediasonic HW180STB HomeWorx HDTV Digital Converter Box
AV system-Denon 2113

Quite honestly, unless you can get an antenna situated so it has a reasonably clear path towards both Queen Anne Hill and downtown, your reception is going to be at the mercy of your surroundings.

Your requirement is for a modest non-amplified UHF/high-VHF antenna.
