@ teleview
Thanks you for all the information, this is part of what I was hoping for. I'm not in a position at the moment of being able to purchase antenna. Cable cost has gone up in a very short period of time, one because lower price term (sale price) has ended and then a price increase on top. Cable is not offering any other price reductions and I'm just not able to come up with the $. Hopefully the financial situation will change and at that point I'd be able to purchase the equipment you've described. I will not be going back to cable if at all possible. Please note that I'm going to keep and use the info you mentioned for which I'm very grateful.
You brought up a good point about the rotor "Antenna rotation Is Not channel surfing friendly" I can see this could be a potential for, well, one could only imagine.
Maybe a totally separate antenna would be something to think about. You did mention

. So should a second coaxial cable, totally separate be sent to TV with maybe some type of switch?
At this time I'm trying to build an antenna with materials on hand just to get something working for the kids and family. Any suggestions in this area would also be well accepted.
It sure seems like there would be no need for cable at my location anyway.
Again I want to thank you for your assistance and help.
