You might be interested in a set-and-forget kind of installation, as a lot of the stations you can pick up are low-power stations or translators. For a fixed installation, the challenge is trying to get your NBC affiliate from the NNW while picking up everything else from the SSW. If you're interested in a DIY solution, as someone was alluding to in your other thread, go to this site and check out the plans for a 4-bay bowtie with 9.5" whiskers and 9" bay spacing without a reflector. Going without a reflector is key, and you can't buy a bowtie array without one.

Sticking with a rotator, I'd recommend a Winegard HD7696P or an AntennaCraft HBU-44. You need the VHF capability for the PBS station.
