Thanks John
Don't I need a way to remotely control this thing to aim it the proper directions?
My stations are 4 opposite points of the compass.

Found it for $85 delivered
Is there anyone else who has a cheaper antenna to suggest?

>>>>ALSO:
I just read this portion of the user manual for the antena:

- Relected signals (multipath interference) are often a source of problems. For those living close to transmitting towers, multipath interference occurs when
- strong signals bounce off nearby buildings and other surfaces causing signal loss. If your transmitting towers are close, try aiming your antenna in different
- directions away from the towers and check for more stations received. Users very close to the transmitters can use an attenuator to lower the signal strength
- to reduce multipath interference. If you live less than 5 miles from your local transmitters, you may need a variable attenuator to reduce the signal to a level
- that will not overload your HDTV set.
- Keep the antenna away from any metallic objects.
- Mount your antenna away from all reflective surfaces or other antennas.


Our home has a metal roof.
The one story building to our south and 15 feet away also does.
But AFAIK the closest station is 20+ mi away
Is this a deal killer for the OTA setup?


thanks
