Re. NJ site

What is the maximum number of TVs that will be connected at the same time during the life of this antenna system?

Both Philadelphia and NY are available to you. The trees sound as though they could pose some trouble though. Mounting high and in the clear is going to pay more than any other single factor.

You could attempt to go after the NY signals with a large high gain all channel antenna such as the Winegard HD7084P. The strong locals from Philly would be received through the back of the antenna.

If I were in this situation, I'd use two antennas. The Philly direction would be a Winegard HD7080P. I would cable the two as independent systems. One antenna terminated in the main TV tuner, the second in an HD set top box tuner attached to the HDMI input of the TV or Home Theater amp.

I would expect to use a preamp or distribution amplifier, but I need to know how many TVs.
