Pardon my very limited knowledge of this subject. Firstly, when you say I need a high-VHF/UHF combo antenna, as I understand it high-VHF will pick up channels 7-69. What about channels 2,4, and 5 - three channels that I do watch regularly? Is there a combo antenna that will pick up the lower VHF stations along with the higher ones? Do I need a separate antenna for the low VHF signals?
Secondly, since my HOA may frown on a large (72"-78" boom) antenna e.g. Winegard HD 7694P or AntennaCraft HBU22, what can I expect if I mount the antenna in my attic - my roof is red tile?

Thanks for your patience,
Bruce
