It looks like at 50', you have some chances for US signals.
CW becomes the best chance at US reception. PBS and CBS are in the extremely weak category, but may be mostly reliable. FOX and ABC are right on the bleeding edge of signal strength for reception. How you recieve will rely on localized factors TV fool can't account for. NBC is too weak and unless exceptionally lucky, will not be viewable.
Let's look at it another way for successful reception:
CW: very likely
PBS/CBS: possible, with luck may be mostly reliable
FOX/ABC: In sometimes, others not.
NBC: unlikely
So you have one US signal that is likely at 50', 2 possible and 2 "maybes." The question is do you want to set a system to see if the if you get some of the US signals. This would require a two antenna set up and could push your expenses up to a few hundred dollar range depending on mounting equipment needed (50' rohn push up pole) and then you may only see one or two US signals once the installation is completed in a less favorable outcome.
How tall is your home? Are you surrounded by trees? Are you in a suburban area or on open land?
My goal here is give you a reasonable picture of what it'll take so you can make an informed choice.
Easy is still the HBU11k, going after the US signals is going to be more of a production.
