I don't mind spending $100 for an antenna if it is what will work best. If I get something like the Antennas Direct DB4E will I need a rotator since the available channels are in two different directions?

Ok - I read about that antenna a bit, and it is multidirectional which means it will not need to be rotated, correct? What other equipment do I need? I assume I will need one of the J brackets I saw online. Does it matter which one? I also assume I need RG6 cable. Does one end of the cable connect directly to the antenna? Is the chimney a good place to mount it? I am hesitant to mount the antenna on the roof itself because I don't want leaking issues.

Also, I read you usually need a preamp. Then I see other people say one is not needed. Confusing. Do I need one?
