DTV/cell phone/broadband reception advice and products

Provided there are no large trees blocking your signal, you may be able to receive Phila, NY, and Scranton from your attic, but the antenna needed to accomplish this is long and wide. If you have enough room to mount and rotate, this will work well.
If not the same equipment just above the roof is recommended.

Use a Winegard HD7084P antenna. This is an all channel antenna which you need because you have channels in all bands including channel 6 from Phila.

Mount this in a Channel Master 9215 rotor. This will provide reception from all directions using one antenna.

A two antenna option could be the HD7084 antenna pointed to Philadelphia, and an RCA ANT751 antenna pointed toward New York. This will require the use of seperate coax to seperate distribution amplifiers and seperate coax from the amps to all DTV sets, along with A/B switches or Tuners with duel antenna inputs. A bit complicated but a great channel surfing freindly system.

The rotor system will allow for use of single coax from the antenna, to a distribution amplifier such as a Channel Master 3410, to a four set splitter and a single line to all sets. All channels will be received.
