First, Thank you both -- This info in extremely helpful!!!
I'm assuming the CS4 with the reflector would pull in signals from the SW and NW just as well as the DB4e? If that is the case, I suppose the best option would be to go with the CS4 and try without the reflector first, just to see what I can pull in.
If I'm not getting reliable enough preformance (I strongly prefer quality over quantity, as long as I get all the major networks), I'll try the CS4 with the reflector, pointed due West.
Bummer that the CS4 costs almosts double on Amazon, but the savings from cutting cable will cover either one
Before I order, I may just test out both of my homemade jobs (4bay Coat Hanger tyep and Hoverman) WITH a reflector, pointed due West.
Out of curiousity, do either of you have any thoughts about the upcoming DB8e?
