OTA for Roswell, GA

[olchannel]

I am replacing Directv with an OTA. I would prefer an outdoor one. AntennaWeb says I need a Medium Directional Antenna with Preamp, however according to this website I only need an indoor one (if I read the results right).
So given these results, what antenna would you recommend? Here's the link:

Thanks in advance.

Unless you have metal siding or foil faced insulation, I would recommend a set of rabbit ears... Non-amplified

For example: http://www.amazon.com/Terk-Technolog...2210417&sr=1-1 or http://www.amazon.com/RCA-ANT111-Bas.../ref=pd_cp_e_3

However you say you prefer an outdoor antenna so you may want to consider a non-amplified 'omni' like http://www.solidsignal.com/pview.asp...0Antennas&sku=

The predicted signal levels at your location leave you plenty of margin even if you need to split the signal to several sets.

Nice line up BTW

No indoor antenna will ever give you the quality or reliability of reception that a good outdoor antenna will. If you are willing to mount an outdoor antenna, consider using a Winegard HD-7694P or an AntennaCraft HBU-22 aimed due south of your location (180 degrees) Either antenna will give you perfect reception of all of the available Atlanta stations with complete reliability and freedom from pixellation and dropouts.

No preamplifier should be used at your location because the levels of signal strength available will overload just about any preamp made. Either antenna will allow connection of at least 2 TV sets by using a simple passive splitter. if you want to connect more TV sets, use an amplified splitter like the Channel Master CM34xx series

Here is a good installation guide to help you along.

Thank you all for your help. I have decided to go with the AntennaCraft HBU22.
Now I need to find someone to install it! (I know, go to the subthread...)
