What antenna to buy per my location details!
 

I want to cut the cable cord and buy a indoor or outdoor antenna. An indoor one may not work well because I have aluminum siding on my house. Here are my location details. Thanks again!!!

You need two outdoor antennas, one UHF only aimed at Hartford, one VHF only aimed at New Haven.

One configuration would be a DB-4 for UHF and a Y5-7-13 for VHF. Use a UVSJ to combine them.

Tv Reception with Tv antennas
 

I will return with a way to do it with one Antennacraft U8000 antenna and receive many more tv stations , a lot more tv stations. Simple and easy.

The aluminum siding will make indoor reception somewhere between unpredictable and unreliable. A roof (or perhaps an attic) location will eliminate those unknowns.

Tower Guy's suggestion will net you a full set of network channels and is very workable and will be reliable.

You may wish to look closely at the listing of the stations on your plot and investigate them to see if there are other ones that you really want to receive. If so, then there may be less conventional methods to try to do that.

One of those is to remove the reflectors from a directional antenna (2-bay and 4-bay UHF antennas are good candidates) to make it bi-directional (you have stations in opposite directions). If it works, great! The potential drawback is that, by removing reflectors, we also remove the front-to-back ratio and increase the odds of multi-path interference. Still, this is a viable attempt as it can simplify the system and reduce the need for a rotor.

Good luck!

http://www.antennacraft.net. U8000. Remove the reflector rods of the U8000. Drill out the rivets that hold the flat metal brackets that hold the the reflector rods in the horizontal position. Remove the reflector rods. Now the >< shaped metal reception elements will receive 2 directions. The front of the antenna and the back of the antenna. Aim the U8000 antenna at about 60 degree magnetic compass. Here is how to aim antennas , http://www.kyes.com/antenna/pointing/pointing.html. Now the U8000 antenna will receive the group of tv stations to the north east - about 44 degree magnetic compass , the group of tv stations to the east - about 106 and 116 degree magnetic compass , the group of tv stations to the south at about 190 degree magnetic compass , the two tv stations at 226 degree magnetic compass. The U8000 antenna will be mounted above the roof. Here are some antenna mounts , http://www.ronard.com/909911.html , http://www.ronard.com/34424560.html , http://www.ronard.com/ychim.html.
