Antenna? Remote area in trees

[esleighton]

OK...
I appreciate your input. Thank You.

I live in the Green Mountains, of Vermont, north of the Berkshires, east of Albany on a west facing mountainside at just under 2000', in the forest, on a dirt road. Lots of snow drops here. I doesn't all melt off until May most years. The good news is, that the trees are bare more than half the year. They just filled out a couple weeks ago.
I cancelled my DirecTV after the two year contract ran out last month and they had raised my monthly again. I planned on doing without for the summer to spend more time outdoors. We had an evening at a neighbors house, and he has a 2 bay UHF antenna that he gets a lot with (something like 16 channels), similar to the Eagle Aspen Dtv2Buhf Directv 2-Bay Uhf Antenna. He is below my elevation, and below the trees.
So, I think I would like to mount something on the roof peak at the rear of the house that will face westerly toward the Albany area towers. I have attached a photo of the view F.Y.I. It is a challenge. Fortunately the most open area is toward the towers in the WSW direction.
Here is my report. I entered the antenna height at 50 feet. The road is at least 50ft below the roof top, so the elevation is greater than what we will see I think. I used coordinates from the address. My home's upper deck GPS altitude is 1935ft on my Garmin trail GPS init.

I don't mind investing in a good rig, but want to be reasonable, and don't want something up into the sky, ruining the simple looks of my mountain home.

Thanks again,

Looks like too many extra steps to find location and antenna height above ground.

It is better to go to the tvfool home page , click on >>Start MAPS<< , move the pointer to your location and enter a antenna height above ground , if you can install the antenna 50 feet above ground , then Ok.

Please make 2 tvfool reports , 25 feet and 50 feet above ground.

Click on the Make Radar Map button.

Do not delete the tvfool report with extra steps.
