Got the Winegard 7694P from SolidSignal.com and 100 feet of RG-6. The antenna is pointed at 109° (or the best I could get it using my phone's "compass")
Have it going from the antenna into a dual grounding block shared with the existing dish network wiring, then to my bedroom. I ended up being about 12 feet short of cable and had to couple in an additional 25 foot cable. With that said - I picked up 38 digital stations and 3 analog. The analog stations aren't clear at all, but it's Latin programming which I don't really care for. Everything else comes in extremely clear, clearer than some stuff on my satellite.
The only VHF station (WESH-DT) is coming in extremely clear in HD, so I am very happy with that. There are actually some big trees in my neighbor's yard and this doesn't seem to affect my signal.
I appreciate the advice that I was able to get from this forum, I believe this is the best antenna for me and I'm glad I didn't blindly follow antennaweb's advice!
