Just a quick update for those interested in how things worked for my particular case and to say thanks again for the help from the great folks on here.

As mentioned earlier, per GroundUrMast's recommendation I ordered the DB4e. I ordered from Amazon (best price I came across) along with a mount and a 4 way splitter. I opted for all the free shipping even though I was anxious to get it all in. To my surprise the antenna and mount showed up on Thursday (I had just ordered on Tuesday) and then the splitter on Saturday.

I got everything installed yesterday and am VERY pleased with the quality of reception along with quantity of channels. This is without doing any adjustments at this point from the initial installation at 220 degrees. This is also without using any amplifier.

I still plan to run through the channels and compare to the report to see if I'm missing anything I might can make adjustments for and receive. Although, from memory thinking I'm already getting WHDF that it was thought I might have to adjust further West to get.

It actually seems I may be getting more than what I saw on the report, but again I need to run through the list and compare. For example, for real channel 41 I'm getting 41-1, 41-2, and 41-3.

I still may add the recommended VHF antenna to get the one other channel as well, but already very happy with what I've got.

Just wanted to say thanks again for such a great site! I'm at one week from making the initial post and ready to make the call tonight to ditch the Dish
