Thanks, this helps a little, but I have some questions.

The current Tv stations channels transmitted are. VHF low band channels 2 thru 6. VHF high band channels 7 thru 13. UHF band channels 14 thru 51. Your location has Receivable Tv stations channels in All 3 Tv channel bands.

Ok, first let me ask this: Aren't antennas that are designed to receive VHF low band larger in size and more awkward to move than those that are VHF high band + UHF only? Also, let me emphasize that we don't have any desire in watching the channels we receive on VHF low band (and they are both extremely low power stations often classified as 'silent,' one is for certain in a language we don't speak, the other I am unsure of any programming whatsoever). I am unsure that an ALL channel antenna is best suited to meet our needs if we don't want a VHF low band antenna. I was thinking about purchasing this one which is in stock at my local RS or ordering this one. Thoughts?

Here is a antenna mount that installs on the eave of the house, http://www.ronard.com/34424560.html. use the #4560 eave antenna mount.
Here is a chimney antenna mount , http://www.ronard.com/ychim.html.
Buy the ronard antenna mount at solidsignal buy typing the word ronard in the solidsignal search box or buy from ronard.
Here is a , J pole type antenna mount. Winegard DS3000. UP HIGH on the eave. Or relocate the dish antenna mount UP HIGH on the eave.

Ok, in regard to this, here's what I have:
I have a flat roof on the edges of the house that climbs to the apex near/around the center of the roof. The Dish was installed two years ago on a very nice J mount, on the roof, very near the edge of the western side of the house.

Here is what I do not have:
There are no eaves to speak of on the edges, it's completely flat (which is a real pain to move around in the attic as you get closer to the edge of the framework and it becomes way less of an "attic" and much more of a "crawlspace;" also, I'm 6'5" tall so you can imagine that adds even more frustration to the equation when I'm working in my attic.

There is no chimney. I live in the coastal plains of South Texas. If you want a fireplace in your home here, it's a special order. Most houses here don't have them.

Last question...

I Strongly recommend install the antenna UP HIGH.

Every building that is built new and existing buildings that include any exterior additions in this area of South Texas must be windstorm certified to 150 MPH winds. This is most definitely major hurricane territory, I am twenty miles from Galveston Island. Just an example, this weekend we're supposed to be getting thunderstorms with winds gusting to 30 MPH. Gale force winds (39-54 MPH) are fairly common for this area, at least once a year. I know that I won't be able to make this install hurricane proof, but my basic question is: if I know 15 feet is a likely achievable stable height, shouldn't I test those signals before deciding that I need the extra 5 to 10 feet? Any higher than 25 feet would be an extreme long shot, and I would worry that at this height, I'd be replacing antennas after bad thunderstorms instead of only after hurricanes.

Thanks in advance for your help. I apologize for not having eaves or a chimney, if I had designed the house, it likely would have been designed with eaves.
