Between 2 cities

Hi all,
I’m finally making the time to go antenna… So here’s my report;

http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...46ae8beaa72061

I’m looking to go w/ the attic install. I tried a test run w/ a small antenna. The “freevision outdoor antenna by Winegard.
Here’s a homedepot link

Anyway I did a quick attic connection and leaned the antenna against the wall. It picked up about most of the channels down to about the pink on the report. I only had a short amount of time so had to do a quick scan and check… Based on this I think a better antenna should work fine.

I’m open to antenna suggestions. I was looking toward the rectangle type. Maybe the Channel Master 4228HD. They are referred to as 4 or 8 bay antennas. Some have small disc like portions behind the antenna. Any good or
more physic defying gimmicks?

This type/size seems like it would be easy to get into and out of (thinking of future) the attic. But do they work? They claim 60 and 75 mile reception… If they work it seems like a good physical fit for me…but I do not want to waste my time or money…Pros/cons vs the old fashion style..like the Channel Master 3020

I’m looking to get as many channels as possible. Even considering putting this on a rotor in the near future…Another reason to look toward the rectangle type….room to rotate in the attic… I’m between 2 cities and if I can get the other city may be nice for sporting events etc… Again, open to suggestions…rotor? Two antenna? Don’t be greedy?



So please..I’m open to comments, suggestions, etc….


Thanks in advance…
