For the buddy. Would you put that littler terk near the TV or go through the trouble of putting it up in the attic? Or even point it out the window if possible?

What's not to like about that Winegard or ChannelMaster?

You're stuck with that form, as alternates like bowties and interesting homebrew designs do not handle channel 6 (meaning their gains would be
-20 dB or so). For a rooftop install, you might be able to go down one model in the Winegard line to the HD7080. However, Tigerbangs has lots of experience in this realm, so you can trust that what he recommends will definately work.
For your friend, putting the Terk near a window would be best. Just keep it away from things like compact flourescent bulbs and anything with a CPU in it.
