Thanks for the suggestion on the DB4e. I hadn't even seen that one yet. it definitely looks like the better choice of the 2 since its cheaper and has better UHF. I am willing to sacrifice the PBS station, since it is really the only VHF station I woud miss out on, and as you mentioned, I'll still get 2 other PBS.
I may attempt the attic set up, and then move it to the roof if it doesn't work. I know its going to be pushing it, but I'm just worried that I'll have to buy a new antenna and re-install it every summer during storm season. but if it comes down to it, I'm not opposed to going to the roof.
As far as the Mobile stations go, they would be nice to have, but I don't think they would be worth the extra expense. With the New Orleans stations, I would have the networks covered pretty much. It might be something to look into as a future project, but not at the moment.

Now, even though the DB4e is a multi-directional antenna, I assume the direction it installed to still affects its performance. in my situation, would it be best to install it pointed towards the New Orleans stations?

Thanks again for the info
