The signal levels shown on your report indicate you can achieve your goal of receiving the major networks and a bit more. You will need an outdoor mounted antenna though. Eave/gable or chimney mounting are good options that avoid putting any holes in the roof deck.

The default report elevation is 10'. Please run an addition reception report at 25'. I suspect you'll find a few signals improve a fair bit.

An Antennas Direct DB4e aimed at about 225° gives you FOX and ABC. Then an Antennacraft Y10713 or Winegard YA1713 pointed at 317° gives you CBS and NBC.

Use a UVSJ to combine the two antenna feeds into one coax, and then an Antennas Direct PA-18 preamplifier to insure enough signal strength to make it to through the cable and splitter in the house.


There are other ways to approach this situation (which is usually the case). Others may suggest a rotator and single antenna.
