Looking at the performance data sheets for the DB4e, DB8e, and 91XG, the gain at 546 MHz (corresponds to channel 26, close to channel 28 which is what you're trying to get for football) is 15.4 dBi...

The ANT751r is just the updated version, redesigned for channel 51 at the top instead of 69, since no UHF stations are over 51 now. Antennacraft is owned by Radio Shack, I believe, and you can buy...

You have an enviable fool report. Loads of stations, strong signals, line of sight over flat ground, and virtually all coming from the same tower farm. All signals are high-VHF (channels 7-13) or...

With multipath signals, some reflections or diffracted signal can cancel, and some can reinforce, or anywhere in between. Since the wavelengths are different for two different channels, it's...

Just a guess, but with the antenna close to the roof (any wire mesh under or in those tiles?), and the wavelengths of those two channels relatively close to each other, I'd guess there's just enough...

I thought the power inserter for that unit was intended to be used indoors, and comes with a short coax pigtail to connect to your tv or other tuner. As long as the splitter(s) will pass DC, it...

That's pretty impressive considering it's a VHF-only design, and there's only one VHF channel in the area. The Clear Stream 4 is UHF, and should do considerably better. Consider also the 91XG,...

Attic is bad. That antenna has something like 15-18dB gain, depending on frequency, with both panels pointed in the same direction, but it drops to around 8-10dB gain at 30 degrees (60 between...

The first dozen channels are all strong, line-of-sight, and in the same direction; tailor-made for a small outdoor high-VHF/UHF antenna like the ANT751R or HBU11 or HBU22.
But for an indoor...

While you're waiting for real expertise, I'll give you my two cents. The only high-VHF station you're likely to want is real 8 (FOX), and all the others are UHF, some stronger than others, covering...
