First, I would like to make it clear that I wasn't saying anyone in particular confused me. My confusion stems from not having worked with an antenna situation before, so if I offended anyone, I apologize. Everyone has been more than helpful, and I appreciate the time and effort that goes into every reply
I will try to answer each reply in order.
No, I do not have a balcony. But, I am pretty sure I have windows facing north.
Thanks for the clarification, ghz24, as well as the link. I will do a bit more research on there.
Thanks for that flat coax cable, I was wondering if I would have to drill to get the cable out.
So at this point, I am leaning towards a Winegard HD7084P or DB4, with a stronger possibility being the DB4 because of the roof situation. I was also wondering about the DB8. Would that be a better option than the DB4? Also, if I were to go with one of the DBs installed somewhere outside my window, would I still use a preamp, and if so, can that go inside or out?
