would like help with outdoor antenna. I would like to setup the antanna on the edge of the house using the sat bracket. 3 tvs in home. omni,directional,multi-directional?

I've been looking at this one for a while, hoping someone else would offer an opinion. You have several easy to receive signals but they are scattered around the compass which poses a challenge.

I don't think an omni will have the gain needed or the ability to reject multipath that I think will be needed.

Because you have multiple sets, I'm inclined to suggest a 'no rotator' solution.

A Winegard HD7698P pointed between 175° - 180° and a Winegard YA1713 pointed at 215°. To combine the antennas you'll need a Channel Master Jointenna (CM0577) followed by a good low noise preamp like the Antennas Direct CPA-18.

I'd love to here other opinions on this one though.

@ Mitche, How high can you safely consider mounting an antenna? Your report is based on a default of 10' above ground. Most roof top installations can easily and safely put the antenna at 25' AGL. If you can mount at 15' or higher it would be useful to create a new TVFR using the higher AGL value, you may have more signal to work with than shown by your current TVFR.

If you just want a single antenna, maybe a 4-bay or 8-bay (like CM 4221 or 4228) aimed at the SW direction should capture most of the signal in that direction and might catch the edges as well... (since those bay-types have wider beam than Yagi).
