Also wondering.

Yes, I am also wondering about this as well. First of all, are Winegard HD769xP gain specs accurate? I'm wondering if I should get the HD7695P over the HD7694P but if the 7695P's UHF gain is less than 1dB average for UHF, as the specs state, then it doesn't seem worth going up in size to me, if in fact the specs are accurate. Other than dB gain, is there any other reason to have more antenna real estate?

I read people suggesting going up in size if they're going to mount it in the attic to compensate for building loss, but it seems to me that they should go up as many sizes as they can since I think the building loss would be at least 3dB and probably closer to 10dB.

Anyway, I'm going to mount, whichever antenna I decide on, on the roof and I'm wondering if I can get a channel with an NM of 7.9 and LOS(with one, possibly 2 TVs in future) with possibly some far away trees cutting the signal. I don't know how much those trees may cut the signal and if I could get that station anyway.
