Greetings, Having grown up in WNY, I am familiar with the area
and reception issues. All but one station, Rf 7, WBBZ are on UHF.
Rochester has Rf 10 and Rf 13 and the rest are UHF. I'd suggest
the MCM 30-2430 UHF antenna with one array pointed at Colden
and the other array pointed at Grand Island. That antenna will
hold up well in all weather conditions, especially if you wrap the
plastic portions with dielectric tape. If you want to receive Rochester
stations, I'd go with the Winegard 7698p which should do a good
job of getting all the stations from Brighton, NY. A metal roof will
seriously degrade some if not all your reception. Keep the antennas
as far away as possible and spaced at least 5 feet apart on any mast.
Avoid an amplifier or preamp, until you are certain you need one.
