Thanks in advance!
Kinetic, if there is ANY chance that you will eventually add a second set or plan to record one channel while watching another, I suggest you walk through the channels on your TVFool Report using wikipedia to identify subchannels and titantv.com to see what is on each channel. Then group the channels you would like to watch by band (vhf/uhf) and direction. You may discover that you can live with a stationary antenna or two stationary antennas (vhf and uhf). If that is the case, you can save the cost and aggravation of a rotor. I'll bet you can pick up most channels by joining a uhf antenna pointed at 75 degrees with a vhf antenna pointed at 42 degrees.

Looking at your vhf stations, KTBC (7) carries fox, movies!, and MeTV. KAKW (13) carries GetTV and Escape. KCWX carries MyNetwork and ThisTV. KCWX (5) is at 259 degrees but has a translator (8) at 70 degrees. You only need one of these.
