Thank you GroundUrMast and teleview for the info! It would love to have a DB8E and Y5713 on the roof! I rent at the moment and don't have a patio or balcony. For the time being, I'd rather not deal with the hassle of the landlord/HOA and see what results I get indoors. As I said before, I was quite surprised what I got with just the Leaf (and yes, it will be returned, lol!)
The loft I have is above the bedroom, so the HBU33 is too big, unfortunately (and I will have to look at it, LOL!) I did wonder about using an amplifier. I will have it hooked up to 1 tv, so looks like I won't need one.
Glad to know the DB8e won't be overkill. Still a newbie, but from all I've been reading about building penetration losses, I figured I needed something pretty big. I've been going back and forth with the DB8e and the CM-4228. I like that I can aim the DB8e and I
think that I'm close enough to real channels 9 and 11 (both also Hi-VHF) reception might ok if I choose that one.
Now, if I can only find a DB8e on sale.....
For anyone else in my area looking for help also, I will post my results when I've got it up.
