Thank you all for your reply. A lot to digest and learn. Let me ask a couple more basic questions:

(1) I'm not sure I understand VHF. Do I need such an antenna at my location? How do I identify the VHF channels to see if I even care about them?

(2) It seems that some of the antennas recommended above have a 40 mile range, but some of the stations in my report seem to approach 60 miles. Should I instead look at an antenna that claims 60 mile range?

(3) Re grounding: I should first see what the current dish installation does, hopefully it is properly grounded and so is the coax cable wiring done by the builder. If they look OK then I should probably try and re-use the same location for the OTA antenna.

(4) At the same locations where the 2 TVs will be placed there are also FM tuners (AVRs). The FM reception is not great with the simple wire the AVRs came with, any way to piggyback on the same TV coax cable from the OTA antenna to get better FM reception?

Thanks again.
