Here what I can tell you. I have a hdtv with dish network right now. I'm ready to cut it off and go to antenna. I have an old antenna (have no idea how old or brand or anything else). It is pole mounted just above peak of house, so 18-20'. I pick up the local stations just fine with it, but it will not pick up the stations I want (45-69 miles away). I rotated the antenna(with the end I think is supposed to be pointed) last night to around 240-250 and still could not pick them up, but still got those other local channels just fine. I plan on running three tvs (one hd, two sd). The run on the cables would be about 35'(hd), 45' and 55'. I already have coax running, but was not sure if they would need to be replace eventually due to splitters, converter box, etc.) Thanks for any suggestions and help.
