Thanks for the help.
The HBU33 has about 2 dB less gain than the HBU55 which is roughly a 60% decrease, but you have some pretty good signal strength to begin with. You say you are surrounded by Ponderosa pines...does the antenna point into the trees or is it a clear view to the horizon?

I think if you can provide a few more details maybe some folks will check in with some suggestions for you.

Are you mainly interested in the Denver stations at 320 degrees?
How high do you plan to mount the antenna?
Will the antenna have a clear view to the horizon?
How many TVs will you be feeding?
How long will the cable be from the antenna to the TV (or splitter if multiple TVs)
And if you have multiple TVs, how long will the cable be to each TV?

And, by the way, your HOA has little control over your TV antenna if you own your home. See the FCC web page at: http://www.fcc.gov/guides/over-air-r...n-devices-rule
