Hi, great forum! I am reading some and trying to learn the ins and outs
I quit paying for cable awhile back, and have been using netflix and watching some OTA channels. I can pull a few in fairly well with some glitching, with just a 8 dollar rca rabbit ear antenna sitting near the tv, but some stations I want to pull in are 20 or 30 miles out. I don't mind mounting a antenna in the attic, but for right now I'd like to stay away from outdoor roof mounting if possible. I would also like to increase the signal strength on the stations I already get. I do have quite a few large trees around the house. At any rate here is my tv signal analysis results if it will help? I read online that the Antennas Direct 91XG is a great antenna, and also the CM4228hd, but I gather the hd is not as nice as the older model. Do I need a antenna such as this, or would I be just as well off with something like a antennas direct DB2? I don't mind spending some money but I would like to keep it at 100 dollars or under if possible. Also how crucial is it to have a preamp can you get away without one for stations under 50 miles etc?
