@GroundUrMast - while I appreciate the advice I received with my first post in 2010, I was serious about a roof-mounted antenna not being an option. That being said, I went ahead and tried installing a roof-mount antenna inside my attic. I don't remember the models but I do remember one was Winegard and another was antennas direct (might very well have been the XG91). Neither antenna gave me any signals at all. The problem was that both units were so long I had trouble aiming them properly. Is there a shorter antenna that you might recommend?

@TowerGuy - that's an interesting point. I had no idea the C2 is UHF only. Guess I should have read the literature. I never did get KCOP or KCAL but I don't watch those channels anyway so it didn't bother me. I always got KTTV. KABC was good on most days and seemed to depend on weather.

I'm contented with the channel lineup i'm able to get now, with the exception of the two PBS stations KCET and KOCE that I don't get. I know where to place the C2 in order to get those two stations but it would mean I'd lose KPXN. I thought maybe I could leave my set up the way it is now but augment it with another C2 just to get everything ;-)

I think I've got enough to go on for the time being. I'll just have to get a UVSJ and try different combinations of antennas and location. I'll report back on this thread if I am successful.
