Hi Guys-
Another cord cutter here trying to find a good antenna for my house! I live in Hauppauge in New York (on Long Island) about 45 miles from NYC as the crow flies.
Some details on the house-
The antenna will be approximately 20 feet from the first of 2 tvs. Add another 15 feet to the second tv.
Here is a link for my tv signal analysis results-

I live in a bit of a dip with trees and houses above me on a hill towards NYC where most of the signals emanate from. My neighbor has good reception on most channels except for NBC and he is further down the hill from me. I would like to get NBC so I am willing to be creative in my setup.
I am thinking something like the following might work for me:
1) Winegard HD7698P Platinum HD Series Antenna or something like it. I do like the concept of the Dennis’ double stacker antenna (

instead of these big guys but I’m not sure how they would work in my situation. I could probably mount the flatwave higher since it has a smaller profile and that might help as well.
2) Some sort of pre amplifier like the Winegard LNA-200 Boost XT Digital HDTV Preamplifier
3) Some sort of rotator system.
Thanks for your help!
Steve
