Then it's seamless channel flipping after that. That'd be an option for you possibly since you have signals in all directions. But if you have the newer HDHR with a single coax, your only option to go this route is another HDHR.
Use the HDHR setup/config app to tune, as it'll give you more details vs WMC's bars will.
As for the DIY antenna, I dunno how much you can expect. I built a similar one that's sitting in the attic right now. It's the wire hangers version on a 1x4 screwed down into an old christmas tree stand. It worked pretty well and was fun to build, but wasn't that great compared to some purchased antennas, plus it had nothing for VHF, like WABC for you.
Another antenna joined directly will likely just cause you multipath issues. Plus there's a rule of thumb for distance between antennas.

Newer black.
I got a good deal on it, so could probably sell it for even money. I'll look into getting the white version.
Is there an antenna you'd recommend that would work better in my situation (omni-directional)?
