Hi, my first post so please bear with me. I'm trying to figure out what antenna to get, but the more I learn by reading online the more confused I'm getting. Maybe I am making this too complicated. Anyway, I want to go OTA, and place the antenna in the attic w/o amp or rotor. The TVFool Signal analysis for my address with the antenna 25' AGL is:
http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...3cf4d0002f48b8. My home is a two story with asphalt roof shingles and hardiplank siding. No aluminum on insulation. So have a little bit of aluminum HVAC ductwork up there. Have some BIG oak trees to the north and east in the yard. Want to run coax to 1st floor and split to 2 TVs. Est total cable length ~100'. Use of rabbit ears gets a fair number of channels.
The majority of the close transmitters are in two groups (about 40 degrees and 305 degrees). All the strongest signals appear to come from 40 degrees and are within 10 miles. So I was thinking about going with a high gain 8-bay antenna such as Antenna Direct DB8 or Channel Master 4228 aimed @305 degrees.
Will this work? Too big an antenna for this type of scenario?
Any other suggestions or tips would be helpful. Sorry for such a long post, but I thought the more info I could provide the better replies.
Thank you.
