Ok, thanks for all the great input. We have until 10.24.10 before cable tv service runs out for us. We'll keep you posted with questions and how the antenna installtion went.

Thanks again for all your help

Just keep in mind that if you plan on using a DVR, your antenna can only be pointed at one set of channels at a time. If the antenna is pointed the wrong way while the DVR is trying to record a program, you may end up missing the shows you want.

An antenna rotator is great for viewing flexibility, but it's not so great for unattended recording of programs.
Agreed. Get as much height on this antenna that you are able and it will serve you adequately for the signals you've indicated that you'd like to receive.

Do you buy your stuff right from the winegard website.

Any opinion on the 360 coverage antennas advertised on the web?
If it were me I'd forgo the preamps and rotor and just use two antennas. It's less money and more flexible.

Look at Solid Signal and Summit Source.

The 360 degree antennas won't work for you.
