Thank you for the quick reply!
Re channels 2-6: Right now I have no interest in these channels, but I wonder if I might in the future and don’t necessarily want to re-buy an antenna to do that if the cost now is negligible; are you saying the use of channels 2-6 is being deprecated and therefore there’s no reason to buy an antenna that supports them?
Re pointing at the visible skyline: If I point a directional antenna at the skyline of the mountain – where the mountain and the sky interface - in at the heading of the TV towers, the antenna will be pointed upwards at about a 45-degree angle; not horizontal to the ground. Is that what you mean / is that okay to do?
Re “pick a directional antenna”, do you mean literally any directional antenna should work for me? When I used antennaweb.org to “pick an antenna” (because I don’t know how to pick an antenna) it pointed me towards a Spectrum713 super wunderdeal that claimed it could pick up signals from 150 miles away with its “Next Generation Antenna Technology” (in Star Trek NG font). I had a gut feeling that the claims were a little bold; but are you saying that in my situation even that would work?
Sorry for the newbish questions, and thanks for the advice.
Thanks,
