You can expect to get most of the stations some of the time, some of the stations most of the time, and, perhaps, a few all of the time.
Well, i'll like to keep my existing 91XG and Y5 fixed where they are pointing to my market's locals (Orlando) to keep the DVR happy.

I am just trying to get the other markets (Tampa and Ocala/Gainsville) for NFL games on CBS and FOX as they are sometimes different games.

Is there a good rotor that is available? I saw there was a Disquec one available but not longer manufactured but all the others seems cheaply made.

Since only the the Tampa is VHF, I can try a fixed Y10 to that direction. For the Ocala/Gainsville, I'm not sure if I even have a chance and what antenna would work for those UHF with those distance and NM.
