I'm trying to get the major broadcast channels (ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX) in my area (Orange County, CA). I have a pretty good looking TVFool report from what I can tell, so I figured getting a decent indoor antenna would achieve my goal. I bought the Winegard Flatwave from Home Depot. Tested it by attaching it to my window facing NWW. ALL UHF channels come in great but I'm having a hard time with ABC and FOX, the 2 channels that are Hi-VHF. I'm thinking about returning the Flatwave and trying a Winegard Freevision but the advertised range is 30 miles, which is just barely enough to get most of my channels (28-29 miles). Do you guys think that range on the Freevision is sufficient? Also, should I try mounting it in the attic or outside? I have an old DirecTV dish that I can remove and replace it with an Antenna. If I do that, it would face opposite of the direction the dish is currently facing, but it would kinda face my neighbors house (see attached Imgur). Would that be a problem?
