I recently cancelled my Dish subscription and I'm looking to install and antenna. The only existing cabling is two coax cables running from the cable demarc to the wall where the TV is. These are the same lines that Dish used, but I may rerun the cable just the same. Incase it matters, the TV is a Panasonic Viera TH-50PZ85U. I currently plan to mount the antenna to the top of the chimney, which is about 18' from the ground. Then I'd run a cable to the demarc box, probably split it there and run one cable to the TV and another to a tuner (either a Hauppauge 2255 or an HDHomerun Plus) for DVR and streaming to other devices. Here is my report:

Is there an antenna that would get good reception for the main broadcast networks? Is it possible (and effective) to combine the signal from 2 directional antennas, one aimed North and one at around 295°? And in case anybody has any experience with them, any suggestions on the Hauppauge vs the HDHomerun?
