another newbie looking for guidance

Just getting started researching options for OTA options.
We have a 2 story house and can mount the antenna either in the attic or on the chimney. Looking for recommendation on the best set up.

Thanks for the help.

Tv Antennas and Reception

WANN-CD looks to me like it's going beyond what can be stuffed in to Digital Tv sub channels. 10 sub channels of Video and Audio Tv channels , I doubt that Tv channels are 480i resolution. It will be more like 200i lines of resolution , like a very poor quality VHS tape. And stuff 6 audio (radio) channels in. I wonder what the audio channels sound like.
