And just to spam my post some more, I was playing around with the height settings on the signal analysis to see if raising the height would help with the two channels I think I will struggle with (real channels 5 and 28).... Well, it turns out, the lower I go, the better reception is for these two channels (based on the Signal analysis' estimation), which just kind of blew my mind a bit... Here's the TV Fool report for 1 foot above ground level (I know 1 foot isn't practical)... http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...46ae7830765d15 and here is the one for about 20 ft (mounted on the shed) http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...46ae4cf91c56af

I'm still thinking the Winegard HD8200U because of the low VHF channel 5 and maybe the preamp, because of the long run, but I never thought of LOWERING the antenna to improve reception...
