Hi I’m new.
I have been investigation the possibility of picking up OTA signals in my new house. Please see my TV Fool Results here

I have been playing with a cheap Philips rabbit ear and loop antenna and have managed to pick up quite a fetw channels. With the antenna on my second floor I can pick up WNYT and WMHT which are listed in red and and a faint WRGB signal. I can also pick up a faint WCWN signal if I hang it outside.
I think it is time for a larger antenna. I would like to mount it in the attic pointing through the gable which has vinyl siding covering it. It is in a perfect westward direction. I would mount it on my roof but it is slate and I have too many other obstructions.
So, what antenna would you recommend? Would an antenna direct DB4/8 work in my situation? What would I do about VHF? I assume I would need a preamp since my rabbit ears has one.
Thanks for your help.
