I agree , You need the All band Tv antenna for channel 5 reception. The best reception is to the north west. I think that the reception will be very good. And Yes you need a Big Tv antenna. The Channel Master is fine , or a Winegard HD8200U antenna. If you are splitting the signal to more then one Tv , only use the splitter that has the needed splits. Do not use a 8 way splitter for 2 Tv's. Every time a split takes place the signal is reduced. If only one Tv is connected then do not use a splitter. Please keep us informed. Here is something else to check in to
