Need advice on outdoor antenna
 
Hello

I am new to OTA. I just borrowed my brother's bunny ears indoor antenna, and I am receiving:confused: 5-6 HD channels. I thought, why not get a outdoor antenna. My TV fool report is:
http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...0b869b97a8c0af

Please advice me what kind of antenna i should get to get the channels. Do I need a pre-amplifier too? I am reading on websites that if I have long wire, I need one. from the Antenna to my TV, the total length of Co-ax would be around 150 feet.

Please advice. Also, is an Attic atenna an option for me? Is their such thing?:confused:

Because most of your channels are UHF, rabbitears won't get you much. If the rabbitear antenna includes a UHF loop, then you may receive quite a few channels if the antenna is placed near a window with a southwest view. If your antenna directed about 208° magnetic, you should be able to receive all of your LOS stations in the green and yellow. If you don't have a window with a south/southwest view, then you probably need an outside antenna.

Tv antennas and Tv reception
 
In big red letters on the tvfool radar report it says , Address resolved to city level only and may not reflect your actual reception. Repost with the exact address and make antenna height 25 feet. How many tv's are/will be connected??
