OK, scratch the Winegard antenna. The Stellar labs VHF will fit the budget. An RCA preamp will also be affordable.

A 4 bay UHF aimed at Erie with a VHF aimed at CTV is an easy compromise. The question is how to combine them. The sure way is inside the RCA preamp, but you'd probably lose NBC.

I also like the HD 7694P for Erie PA. In order to watch Canadian TV, I'd invest in a second tuner instead of a rotator. Then I'd aim a VHF antenna at CKCO and a 4 bay UHF antenna at 347 degrees for...

I'd try the Antennas Direct 2MAX. It is a bidirectional antenna, which is exactly what you need. If it doesn't work in the attic, it should work on a short mast on the roof.

WQED will move from channel 13 to channel 2 in 2020. You will need a large all channel antenna such as the Winegard 8200u or Channel Master 3020.

Many of the stations you can get are in different directions. This implies that you either need a rotator, or must decide to concentrate on NY or Philly. I'd try a fixed aim antenna at Philly if I...

I would expect that stacked antennas in a swaying tree would be counterproductive. The extra gain would help only on calm days. If the height helps, you may not need the extra stacking gain. If you...

I would concentrate on the attic. The Winegard HD7000R is one option.

Note that the VHF dipole on the Antennas Direct models is optimized for high band VHF. It is not likely to work for WPVI.

My wife has one of those hair dryers. She loves it. So does our daughter. They work extremely well.

But to be fair to ADtech, he suggested a different hair dryer first.
