Tired of Paying DirecTV - Eastern NC Antenna Help Wanted

Hello All,

First off I wanted to thank the moderators for this forum. It seems that the more "research" I do regarding my antenna needs, the more confused I get. In a rush to get rid of DirecTV I purchased an antenna from homeantenna.org - a very cheaply made all-plastic antenna with a remote-controlled rotator that's about as good as a dead battery. I never mounted it on the roof because I'm afraid it will break in a storm, but I did try it out and was receiving local channels clearly. That being said I am now looking to "do it right."

I have a 3' tripod mount and 5' pole in hand but want to get the right hardware for my location. I ran a report (http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...a36292eda0f9e2) and see that most of my stations are within 60 miles of my residence. There are two distinct locations where I can receive a signal - North East and South West. I do not want a rotator unless it is required and am open to mounting two antennas. I live in a fairly flat location but am surrounded by tall pine trees.

I have taken a look at the EZ-HD from Denny's TV antenna sales, but the more research I do the more I'm second guessing that particular model. I'm no longer under contract to DirecTV and I don't wish to continue paying for TV. I have already purchased a OTA compatible DVR that I really like so I won't miss the DVR feature DirecTV povided once my transition is complete. Any recommendation that can be provided is greatly appreciated!!!
