I just dropped cable and new to all of this. I quess I should have worked all the bugs out before dropping. My wife wants the the parades for Thanksgiving. I haven't attached the antenna yet. I started with a Phillips SDV8622T/27 I purchased at Walmart. I thought I could hang on the side of the house and be done. I have a good line of sight from outside the second story window. I was able to recieve 21 channels the first time, but no NBC(WXIA). That only lasted a day and now I only get about 5-9 channels depending on the time of day. I purchased the HBU33 from Radio Shack and rescanned and same results. I was able to get back to 21 channels for awhile, but still no NBC. I still have both antennas. I am waiting to see what the experts think before I return anything. (You are the expert!)
Also, if I stay with the HBU33, can I install it in the attic? I really don't want to get on the roof. Are the stations close enought for this antenna to pick them up in the attic.
Thanks for your help.
