Which stations, other than those in a generally northerly direction, are on your "must have" list? Which are on the "like to have but not too important" list?

What are the surroundings outside your attic like? Can you achieve relatively unobstructed views in the requisite signal path(s)? The online/interactive tool is very useful in helping you visualize this. Switch to the satellite view, turn on the lines, then zoom/pan and drag and drop the balloon onto your rooftop. If the display switches to an oblique view, turn it off (the 45° control is under the "Satellite" control). Now, you can see the various signal paths overlaid on a view of your roof, and, by adjusting the zoom level, your surroundings including trees and buildings that were visible whenever that aerial view was captured.

I found your thread's title to be ironic as I use almost the exact same thing as the title of a tech tip I wrote a while back. I've attached it to this thread, you will likely find it to be enlightening.
