OTA Help

[tcarroll]

Hi everyone!

First, let me thank you for this site. It was great before buying my new tv and even better now trying to work everything out.

My question is recommendations for OTA for me. Here is what I have available, my concern is CBS which is 25+ miles farther than the other antennas and at completely different compass heading. My wife's concern is also the look, she is open to an exterior antenna but she does not want an ugly mess up there!!! HELP!!! :headb:

If it wasn't for your CBS station at 46 mile (and a different compass heading) you'd be in decent shape.

With that, I'd suggest a Channel Master 4228 and a rotor.
Note that you have two channels that are hi-band VHF (7 and 12), although the 4228 (UHF only antenna) is pretty good at getting those frequencies.
