I am not currently receiving any stations OTA, but would like to. Here is a report of my location:

I am not sure what antenna would be best. I am mainly interested in KQET (ch 25) and KSBW (8.1 and 8.2). Anything else is gravy. I was fooling around with a cheapie antenna: RCA ANT1050 Digital Flat Passive, and was excited to receive KMUV. (Not that I want that station – but I got something, and it’s on the same transmitter location as KSBW and KQET!) So I started moving the antenna around. I got brief flashes of a couple other stations, too. Then I remembered I had an amp, so I added that. I stuck the antenna out the window and I could receive KQET. (sort of – it froze up frequently.) But no matter what I did, I could not receive KSBW.
I’m wondering if maybe that antenna is not good for VHF, since all the stations I could receive were UHF? Or maybe the amp was a problem? I would prefer an attic install, but could mount an antenna on the pole of the soon-to-be-removed DirecTV dish, I think. I have looked at the RCA ANT751R. Would that be suitable for my needs? Is there something else that would be better? Thanks for any help you can provide.
