We currently have an HBU-55 + RCA TVPRAMP-1R mounted in the backyard about 13 feet up.
Any trees or buildings in the signal paths?

Recently the woman of the house expressed her need for KSTP news (rf 35) is there a effective way to make that happen (with out going too crazy)?
We don't know yet. Your signals are very weak. You would need an antenna facing 299 degrees magnetic. Why don't you just aim it there for everything?

What channels do you get now? Where is the antenna aimed?

Does she want that ABC station for local news instead of WQOW?

With the coming FCC re-pack would it be prudent to look into an antenna with VHF-lo capabilities?
Hold off on that. VHF-low antennas are very big. Wait until after the FCC auction.

How is the local cable co. (http://www.ntec.net/NtecCable.php) allowed to get away with not offering a OTA replacement package, per FCC?
The Ntec price for the basic package is waaay too much. Our basic is $26 per month.

The FCC changed the must-carry rules:
