We are 65 miles from Jax FL and about the same from Orlando.
I can roof mount at about 32-35'.

I have a Drop amp EDA 2462 [5-42 54-1000 mhz 6kv 15vdc]
And my direct tv satellite cable pre-installed in the house.
I want to hook up 2 tv sets.
Thought I would buy an "Eagle Aspen ROTR100" rotor.

Lost in Florida, thanks Floridaron

The following is a Teleview recommendation for broadcast tv reception.

Antenna system number 1.

For the Deltona/Orlando groups of Digital Tv stations/channels install a Winegard HD7698P antenna with a Antennas Direct CPA-19 Preamp , aimed at about 190 degree magnetic compass direction.

Here is how to aim antennas , http://www.kyes.com/antenna/pointing/pointing.html.

For 1 Tv connected use no splitter.

For 2 Tv's connected use a , HFS-2D , 2 way splitter.

Here are places to buy the HFS splitters. http://www.hollandelectronics.com , http://www.solidsignal.com.

If you have a way to mount the antenna then Ok , if not then here are some antenna mounts , http://www.ronard.com/909911.html , http://www.ronard.com/Tripods5200703/4712.html , http://www.ronard.com/34424560.html , http://www.ronard.com.

As always , trees and tree leaves do a real fine job of reducing or blocking Tv reception and so do buildings and other obstructions.

It is best to locate the Tv antenna at a location that has the least amount to no amount of obstructions of any type or kind in the direction of reception.

The Tv/s Must Channel Scan for Digital Broadcast Tv Channels , sometimes named the 'Air Channels' or ' Antenna Channels' in the Tv setup menu because the Tv transmissions travel from the transmitting antenna to the receiving antenna.

Do not channel scan for cable tv channels.

The 2 antenna systems are Separate all the way to the locations of the Tv's.

The 2 Separate antenna systems are connected to a Remote control A/B coax antenna switch at each Tv location. http://www.radioshack.com , #15-1968 , or , http://www.mcmelectronics.com , #32-4425 .

Is Ok to install 1 antenna system to begin with , Deltona/Orlango has many more Digital Tv stations/channels then Jacksonville.

Using a Antenna with a Rotator is Not Channel Surfing Friendly , must wait for antenna to rotate , and not every one in the house will agree on where the antenna is aimed.

Simple, effective DTV reception solutions
 

Install an Antennas Direct CS2 complete antenna with a Winegard AP8700 pre-amplifier and the Eagle Aspen rotor.

Follow the instructions with the rotor for a single coax configuration.

You will receive both of the markets that you desire and more.
