Assistance with antenna choice (please)
 

Hello,

First off, thanks everyone ahead of time for your assistance.

Second, the data:
http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...0b86e8d0d55c0c

Third, the goal:
I would love to cut the cable and but i NEED to pick up (atleast) 4 of the top 7 stations on my report (FOX, ABC, CBS, NBC... Any extra would be an added bonus.) I plan on placing the antenna in the attic of my 2story home with a shingle roof. I plan on feeding this signal to 4-5 TVs. The only potential problem I see it that ABC and CBS are in a totally different direction then FOX and NBC, but you guys are the experts, so you tell me.

Additional info: I have RadioShack "rabbit ears" on the first floor of my house that can pick up the all of the top 7 but ABC and CBS and sometimes PBS.

Let me know what you think! I would really love to cancel this Comcast install set for 4 days from now....

Thanks again

This recommendation is based on tvfool radar report of Pending Applications Included of digital channels as of 01-31-2012. Install a ANT751 antenna aimed at tv station WHTM at about 345 degree magnetic compass. The ANT751 is not a very directional antenna and will receive the tv stations/channels in the green and yellow zone. The tv transmissions are strong at your location and the ANT751 should provide signal to 1 to 4 tv's . . 'If' WITF-DT 36 PBS is weak when a 4 way splitter is used then replace the 4 way splitter with a Channel Master CM3414 distribution amplifier. For 5 or more tv's connected , use a CM3418 distribution amplifier. Here is how to aim antennas and etc. , http://www.kyes.com/antenna/pointing/pointing.html.

New digital tv channels can come on the air with out any anouncement so rescan for new digital tv channels from time to time.

Thanks Electron! The antenna has been ordered and I will have it tomrrow.

****UPDATE****

The antenna has been installed and it pulls in ALL stations Electron noted! I don't have a tuner (yet) that will give me signal strength but based on a few hours of viewing OTA programming it didn't miss a beat!

Thanks again to Electron and TvFool as a whole!

Be sure and scan for new digital channels from time to time because new digital channels can begin transmitting with no notice.
