here is my exact address report:

My question is this, I want to put an antenna in place of my directv dish.

the directv dish is on the southeasternmost part of the roof.

I am questioning how high above the satellite dish mast the antenna should be...I was thinking 5 feet or so which would make the antenna about 18 feet above ground.

Most perplexing....there are two cables attached to the satellite dish that come down to a junction box on the side of the house and therein turn into black cables which disappear into the attic.

How do I know which of the two cables to use at the dish to connect to antenna...or do I need to run my own cable from antenna to junction box?
what do i have to look for and replace in the attic if anything?

any recommendations on specific antenna or can I just grab something at radio shack?

Is 18 feet high enough?

Is 115 degrees right direction?

Thanks in advance.
