Thank you all for your great suggestions.

I am a bit confused by the antenna choices.
I looked at Winegard HD 7698P and on paper it doesn't look good. It has only 60 mile range on UHF.
The DB8 looks promising with 70 mile range.
Although I think I tried it in my living room and got bad results. (yes, sounds stupid, but I just hung it on the wall instead on putting in up on the roof)

How about the clear stream c4 extreme? I have that on order and it has a 65+ mile range. Would that be close to what DB8 would get me?

I am also puzzled in general if a directional or a non directional would be better.
The db8 is non directional, but others being recommended are mostly directional. But for my situation, I'm guessing I'll be getting reflected signals instead of LOS, does that call for a directional or non directional?

Thanks again for all you suggestions. I'm hoping to learn from you experts!
