I think that I can capture the signals with an attic mount, but if not I will just take the thing and mount it outside.

Thanks for all the help. Much appreciated.

I don't think you have anything to apologize for. I think you were unfairly and falsely accused of using slang. MythTV is the name of the media center software you're using, it's correct of you to use the name.

Clearly, signal conditions improve at the 26' level. In the direction of 215° I would expect a Winegard HD7968P with an Antennas Direct CPA-18 to have a reasonable chance of receiving a full line-up of major networks. I think you will need to mount outdoors though. (Try in the attic... you might get lucky.) I'll bet that signal conditions will be even better if you can mount on the roof peak with a tripod and mast.

Starting with one antenna and tuner, you can explore the options... You may or may not want to add a second antenna and tuner (aiming at 34°). It will be interesting to hear how the project works out.
