Imathankinyou! Although it will take some time to digest all the product information recommended it's a great start. At this stage of my learning process I still have interest exploring the benefit/drawback of this design versus a directional antenna

Based upon these potential signals availablility, is a comparable quantity and quality of signal achievable using a directional antenna design? I would include the use of a high quality rotor (nod to your apprehension) in the system.

Here's my thinking, for 6-months of the year these tyrannical wooden giants lose some of their bluster (leaves) and from what I've learned so far, that's a good thing for antennas! If during the winter a directional antenna gives me access to a greater number of channels due its greater gain or aiming precision it may keep my cabin fever in check.

Note: I was surprised by recent reviews of the HW180STB. Several indicated failures after 6-months. Again, thank you and all who've spent time reviewing this thread.
