Here's your report from, https://www.rabbitears.info/

It looks much better than your TV Fool report. I think it might be more accurate since there seems to have been a lag in updated information for the TV Fool reports, as posted by some of the Techs on this forum.

If that is the case, probably all of the above recommendations would be acceptable, depending on what you actually are looking to receive. The gentlemen posters above are all very experienced in their fields and I would take their advice with gratitude.

Also, while you're on Rabbitears.Info website, check out the TV market listings for Los Angeles, and look specifically at the channels you want to receive in detail, especially the Longley-Rice maps. Those maps will really tell you how good you can expect your reception to be.

But in the final analysis, getting up either in your attic or roof (better choice), and hooking up an antenna to your television will certainly reveal your actual reception. It takes some time and effort to find out what works at your location.

Hope this helps and please report back with your findings when you can. I know it would be of interest to me and others.

All the best.....

P.S. Just looking at a few of the major LA stations on the Longley-Rice maps for your area, I think you will need a roof top antenna as high as practical and probably a preamp etc., for optimal reception in Moorpark, CA.
