I'm all for outdoor mounting, but do not believe in mounting on, or anywhere near a chimney, or it's contaminants.

Cable and satellite compress their signals, whereas OTA is pure and direct.

I'm all for supporting the local guys too, even if it costs me a bit more.
The thing w/ antennas though, is that they can be tricky to fold back into their packaging state.

There are no such things as digital, or analog antennas, anymore than there are any such things as B/W, or color antennas.
