Here's my Report
I'm right at 30 miles from Chicago in a 2 story quad level. The report shows green for all the major networks. I picked up an inexpensive antenna a few years back from monoprice and some channels 2.1, 9.1 and others were unavailable. I wasn't concerned then because I was just toying around and the antenna was on the ground floor.
Well now the family wants to cut the cable and this is a priority
I moved the antenna to a second floor bedroom closet (center of the house
) hoping for better results but reception is still hit and miss with some of the "Green" channels. I'm planning on taking that set top antenna to the attic near a northerly facing gable for a trial run in the next day or two.
I'm looking for suggestions and hoping I can get away with an attic mount antenna that I could do myself for (eventually) 3-4 TVs. If a roof mount is a must, then I'm hoping I can get referrals for an installer to do the job.
Thanks for your consideration,
~Frank
Here's the details on that set top antenna. It's connected to a SiliconDust Home Run unit at the moment, but I have a few TVs I can use if needed.
