Thanks for the great info Tigerbangs,

Let me ask your opinion on this,
I've been surveying my house yesterday for a good spot to install the antenna, and it looks like the roof is out of the question because the house is a two-story, and the roof angle is kind of steep. And since I'll be installing it myself, I'm thinking of installing right at the 2nd level (~9-10ft) attached to the vinyl siding via J-mast or some sort. Cabling wise is also not an issue with this installation and it will be <50 feet. Attic is another option, but I'm not sure how effective.

The equipment that I'm thinking is either a Antenna Direct C2 or C4 (the website says this one is great for the attic, but I don't know about that) as I'm planning to get just Ch 11, 49, 15, & 35 thru Columbus, GA which is abut SE from my location (33 - 42 miles). But after reading your link on the installation, it seems that I won't be able to get channel 11 as the C2/C4 antenna is rated as UHF, and if I'm not mistaken, ch 11 is considered high VHF right? and also I'm trying to find antenna that will actually fit nicely on the side of the siding, instead of vertically on the roof top. That's why I look at the antenna direct products. I guess I can get the Winegard HD-7696P and install it on the attic.

please Let me know what you think about this, and see if you can identify other problems or even other options.

Thank you so much again for the time
