It's very pretty country here, but you are right, the terrain is very challenging with the hills. Over that, the area is about 45 minutes from nowhere lol I've only been here about 2 years and originally from the Central NY area where I was receiving a TON of stations with a modest roof mount antenna. Oh well...
John: The problem that I'm thinking that I will run into is that even though that tower is a shade over a mile away, I can not see it from the 2nd story window of my house as it is blocked by a hill. The other tower is the same way; only just over 2 miles, but blocked by a hill...
I'm really thinking that unfortunately my only realistic choice is the basic cable especially considering NBC is 40 miles away (Elmira, NY) and the closest PBS I could find is 30 miles (Savona, NY) and is extremely low power...
Now, with that Antennasdirect DB2, the description I saw says it's for UHF frequencies while FOX is channel 6 which I thought is VHF... I guess I'm not really up on this whole digital thing yet. Wouldn't I need a VHF antenna for that and then a UHF antenna for W06AR or whatever the other tower is called (lol)
