I did the map a few times quite a while ago and saved the link, thought that one was more exact. The town is only a couple of miles square and if I remember correctly it didn't change the results. I tried the coat hanger antenna from youtube,I'm on a budget, but left it inside by the tv just to see if I could get any channels. No luck. I have some trees,25 to 30 feet tall, about 75 feet away from the house and I was wanting to put my antenna on my old dish mount which is about 12 feet off the ground. The roof ridge and chimney may cause some interference depending on the direction of signal (Atlanta stations). I was wanting to get this right as close to the first try as I could, not wanting to go back and forth to the store too many times.

I do have a tv that is about 5 years old, and am not sure if it will handle the digital signal. I could track down the user manual if it has the info there.
