Hello All, I have been lurking a bit and finally figured I would post since I am still a little confused on what to buy.
here is my report -

I borrowed a DB4 UHF antenna just to see what we could pick up in our attic. Attic is 2 stories off the ground - faces north. OSB roof with tar paper and asphalt shingles.
We get (virtual) 4, 21, 38, 40 pretty consistently. 62 comes and goes at times. We would love to get 7 and 13 so need a VHF antenna. I would like 62 and even 33 to come in as well.
I was looking at four antennas, two are shorter range and two medium:
RCA ANT751
Wineguard 7000
Antennacraft HBU33 or 22
Wineguard 7694P
Any feedback on those models for my needs? Luckily most stations are in a pretty narrow beam and I can aim right at the main cluster due to the roof facing north. TVF report states I can get away with green for most of them, but distance is out to 65 miles for a couple of channels. That seems pretty far for a basic indoor antenna. I had tried an indoor antenna once and I could only pickup NBC (4) and I think one other.
Forgot to mention - two TV's. Decent run of coax needed due to the way I had to mount and run wires. Maybe 75 - 100ft or so for both.
Antenna will be mounted in attic only. I know rooftop is much better but I have multiple reasons for not going that route. We would rather spend a little more to make the attic work reasonably well vs. trying to roof mount one.
Thanks for any help!
