If your home construction materials don't block RF, a non-amplified indoor antenna would give you the signals in the green section of your report. Everything else will need an outdoor mounted antenna.

Unfortunately, several major networks are not in the green section of your TVFR.

I understand that most people would prefer not to build an antenna farm. Still, a single HD7698P with preamp, aimed at Sutro Tower, would give you an impressive list of networks, major and some you may not be aware of.

Check out www.rabbitears.info, you'll find that many if not most of the broadcasters in your area are using the capacity of the digital technology to send more than one program over their bandwidth.

If I were in the Bay area, the full line up of programming coming from Sutro Tower would make me think twice about building an antenna farm to go after 'every possible' signal.
