Virtual channel 4.1, KDFW is broadcast on real channel 35. VC 5.1, KXAS is broadcast on real channel 41. Therefor, both are UHF channels. The antenna choice has no relationship to virtual channel numbers.

A proper roof mounted antenna would work better than this. But, given my financial limitations...
So I don't need to beat that point any more. Can you try the ANT-111 in your attic?

The basket to the right of the antenna holds my spare cables and controllers for the video game systems you see in the picture below. That wouldn't cause a problem, would it?
That close... yes. Are the picture frames metal? If so, they can affect the antenna also. Metal within 4' will affect the UHF signal quite a bit, For signals on real VHF channels, it's nice if you could keep metal objects 10' or more from the antenna.
