TVFool=too optimistic, AntennaWeb=too pessimistic?

Great site, thanks for creating it!

I am in Atlanta Metro, I only want the major digital channels. I would also like no drop-outs except in severe weather. I especially want WGTV (PBS) to work. I would love to purchase and install one antenna (and ~40 ft of RG6 to two TVs). I would love to do this only one time.

All the stations I want are transmitting from the NE (~38-69 deg). TVFool tells me set top antennas will be fine, AntennaWeb tells me I need a blue antenna for WGTV and a red for most everything else. Please see attachments. Address and AGL was the same, I checked the trees box on AntennaWeb. (I have at least ten trees +50 ft tall dispersed behind my house between my future antenna location and the NE transmitters.)

The two suggestions couldn't be father apart (almost). Rabbit ears versus a metal behemoth.

So, as Solomon, can I split the baby in half and just mount a medium size red antenna in my attic or outdoor on the eave? What are my odds I won't have to do it again?

I would appreciate any suggestions and advice. Thank you!
