Tigerbangs, thank you for your thoughts. I would consider upgrading the antenna. The homemade bowtie was really just a diy project and test to see if ota dtv was even feasible at my house. It proved it is feasible and is actually providing most of the TV we care for. That said, I can easily justify spending money for a better antenna if it will provide increased programming and quality, particularly in the areas I mention in the original post. I prefer to keep the antenna in the attic for aesthetic reasons and we do have space for a larger antenna in the attic - I understand that doesn't give extra height, if you think that is an issue.
Does my TVFool indicate I might have multipath issues? Since most signals are coming from the North, aren't multipath problems limited?
