I did that actually. It is an old GE Futura TV24746 antenna. Connected directly to the TV it gets 30-40 channels depending. Outside, sitting next to my DirectTV dish and plugged into the DirecTV lines it gets about 20 channels(part of what made me think I needed an amplifier). I was pretty surprised by that actually(and yes I aimed it the same direction as best I could).
That surprise result is what led me to ask for help here to ensure the best setup and hopefully minimize returns!
