Outdoor antenna selection

[ksharp20]

Antennaweb says I need a Medium directional with pre-amp (Blue). I have looked at a couple of retail sites, but they don't really tell which antennas fall into this category. I also have several large pine trees in my line of sight to the towers that range from 20-30 miles away.

Any suggestions of which antenna might work well for me. I can mount on roof on a two story home.

Thanks.

For DTV reception all your local stations are UHF. A Channel Master 4221 might work without a preamp.

Your bigger problem is the variation in directions for the local stations. A rotor will work, but rotors are problematic for DVR's.

If you buy two UHF antennas you can aim one antenna at FOX, ABC, and NBC, and the other at CBS. Use a jointenna tuned to channel 59 for WLNS-DT to connect the two antennas together.
