I want to get an outdoor antenna and mount to my Directtv mast. Directv has been D/Ced. I'd also like to connect this to two TVs. Is also like to use the same cabling from the old DTV install.

There are two series of stations. One set due south (the closest) and a second set due west. Can I get both sets with a multidirectional?

Thanks for the info.

Looking at Digital channels , current + pending applications included , your location has Many digital channels to receive. I recommend a Winegard HD7000R antenna aimed at about 305 degree magnetic compass. Here is how to aim antennas , http://www.kyes.com/antenna/pointing/pointing.html. Use a simple 2 way splitter to connect the two Tv's. You will receive stations all the way down to WRPX-DT 15 ION. Any stations that are further down the list began to get ify because of low signal strength and adjacent channel interference and co-channel interference. Here are places to buy antennas and etc. , http://www.solidsignal.com , http://www.amazon.com , http://www.starkelectronic.com , http://www.3starinc.com.

The HD7000R antenna is will receive stations from most all directions. The HD7000R has a small amount of forward gain to receive the weaker channels at about 287 degree magnetic compass.
