I have try ANT751 install on attic, I can get a weak signal on channel WASA-LD(display 24, physical 25) and I also install old Terk amplifier indoor antenna on attic, it does the same.
Can anyone please Recommendation a better antenna? I am going to install in attic and connect to one or maybe two TVs, one TV about 25 feet away other one 8 feet away, do I need amplifier?

Thanks

I recommend a Winegard HD7082P antenna aimed at 116 degree magnetic compass. Mounted on the roof. The HD7082P antenna will supply signal up to 4 tv's , No preamplifier will be needed. Here is how to aim antennas , http://www.kyes.com/antenna/pointing/pointing.html. The HD7082P all channel antenna will receive , WASA the Chinese channels and WKOB channel 2 , WKOB has these digital sub channels , http://www.myretrotv.com , http://www.hottvchannel.com , http://gbctv.us. Here are mounts for the roof top mount of the HD7082P antenna , http://www.ronard.com/909911.html , http://www.ronard.com/34424560.html , http://www.ronard.com/ychim.html. Here are places to buy antennas and etc. , http://solidsignal.com , http://www.amazon.com , http://www.starkelectronic.com , http://www.3starinc.com . . YES the HD7082P antenna will easly receive WASA.

Have you 'tested' the ANT-751 outdoors? At best, the attic is a compromise mounting location. It works in many cases, but always at some cost to signal strength and quality.

To pick up WASA-LD with an ANT-751 in the attic and split to 2 TV sets, yes, you need an amplifier.

The HDP-269 is the best preamp to try. If you have AC power in the attic, a CM 3412 distribution amplifier is worth trying. Other amplifiers are likely to be overloaded by WMBC.
