http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...cc4996a996313d

would like to find a good outdoor antennea to drive 2 tv's and replave the two rabbit ears. WWBT and WUPV are both different direction from the bulk of the stations, they can be recieved but not without moving rabbit ears, hope to find a little bigger outdoor antennea which could be pointed in a way as to not have to do this, and wupv is troublesome at times, it is the farthest away. I was thinking either something from winegard, or RCA ANT model or a C2 or C4 or something similat

All suggestions are welcome

Sounds like you're headed in the right direction

The ANT-751 and C2-V (C2 + VHF add-on) are good options.

My personal inclination is toward an Antennas Direct DB4e, UVSJ & Antennacraft Y5713. The VHF antenna can be pointed directly at WWBT and the DB4e would face 20° (compass). These antennas have more gain and therefor you'll have more signal to overcome the cable and splitter loss.

Your willingness to mount outside will help with reception reliability.

___________________________

A preamplifier is not required.

For 1 Tv connected use no splitter.

For 2 Tv's connected use a common simple 2 way splitter.
________

As always , trees and tree leaves do a real fine job of reducing or blocking Tv reception and so do buildings and other obstructions including your own house.

It is best install the HD7694P antenna at a location that has the least amount to no amount of obstructions of any type or kind in the directions of reception including your own house.
__________

Channel Scan for the Broadcast Tv stations/channels , sometimes named the , 'Air Channels' or 'Antenna Channels' in the Tv setup menu because the Tv transmissions travel through the air from the transmitting antenna to the receiving antenna.

DO NOT channel scan for cable tv channels.
