I agree with JC that to receive the weak signal from WPXC-ION (down low in the 'red'), you'll need a large antenna as he suggests. Those weak signals would require mounting outside in the clear. The right high-input preamp would provide for distribution to multiple sets. (The wrong choice of preamp would cause more harm than good.)
Antennas designed to receive VHF are lager than UHF designs of equal gain and directivity. The frequency determines element dimensions. Lower frequencies dictate use of longer elements.

Thanks for the heads up.. not even looking to get ion.. just similiar channels to that of 7.1 and 12.1 only those listed below but I am limited to either indoor or attic.

this one appears to have a lower sensitivity however maybe it would suit me better than the db2

what gets me is my previous address on a 3rd floor apt at 20 feet up facing trees with the db2 only netted me the same 12.1 and 7.1 channels

starting to wonder if the built in tuner within the sony tv is the problem
