OTA information needed.

I just purchased a Mits 62725 and a DirecTV receiver. However, I would love to get my local Fox station for the Super Bowl, this Sunday. I have read through some of the threads and am still undecided as to what my best option would be.

I went to antennaweb.org and here are the results:

* yellow - uhf WZZM-DT 13.1 ABC GRAND RAPIDS MI 47° 20.9 39
* yellow - uhf WTLJ-DT 24.1 IND MUSKEGON MI 126° 17.3 24
* lt green - vhf WGVU-DT 11.1 PBS GRAND RAPIDS MI 125° 17.5 11
* blue - uhf WMKG-DT 38 FMN MUSKEGON MI 05-05 14° 11.5 38
* blue - uhf WXMI-DT 17.1 FOX GRAND RAPIDS MI 134° 43.4 19
* violet - vhf WWMT-DT 3.1 CBS KALAMAZOO MI 137° 45.7 2
* violet - vhf WOOD-DT 8.1 NBC GRAND RAPIDS MI 133° 44.3 7


I guess that I will need an antenna that receives both uhf/vhf. I can mount one on the side of my house, if someone thinks that a outdoor antenna would be my only option.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jeff

Outdoor with a rotor. Stations are in different directions 47degrees,126,14,134, and 137.
Your distance varies from 17 miles to 46 miles. You will need a large VHF/UHF combo .Low VHF stations keep you from a UHF only -Try www.antennasdirect.com or

Specifically, consider a Channel Master Crossfire 3679, or a Winegard HD7082P or a Wade-Delhi VU934SR with the optional VU8PZ powerzoom UHF attachment. For a rotator, look at the Channel Master 9521a, and, if you find that you need a preamp (possible, but not likely) Look at the Channel Master Titan 7777 or the Winegard AP 8275. here are the links:
