The Channels I'm most interested in are 6.1, 8.1, 10.1, 54.1, 43.1, & 20.1

Was looking at the Antennas Direct DB4 & DB8.

Go with a 91XG and the lowest-noise, highest gain preamp you can find.

Forget the DB4 completely. The DB8 might work, but the 91XG is the better choice.

You need the best UHF antenna you can get your hands on. That means either the Antennas Direct (Terrestrial Digital) 91XG, or the old model Channel Master 4228, or the new model Channel Master 4228HD with the modifications described at

You might have to try all three of them, or "stack" two identical antennas to get more gain.

In any case, get the Channel Master 7777 pre-amplifier.

Good luck! It looks like you're really "down in a hole" with such weak signals despite the transmitters being only about 35-40 miles away.

At least you don't need VHF, unless you decide to try for channel 7 too.

Ditto on the 91XG antenna. Also add a CM 7777 preamp.

If hills are in the way, see this article on reception in such situations:

If not you may want to check to see if any of these stations are changing frequency assignments on June 12.

Ditto on the 91-XG. It's an amazing performer.

Oops, Digital Rules is correct. WBIR (10-1) will be moving from UHF to VHF, post transition.

You'll likely need a VHF+UHF fringe antenna and VHF+UHF low noise, high gain preamp, like the CM 7777. One of the new Winegard antennas designed for UHF & VHF chs 7-13 might work well.

Thanks for all the replies, i will check out the winegards and the Channel Master 7777.

My neighbor was able to get most of the HD channels with a RCA ANT3030X antenna, amp, and a rotor. So maybe there is so hope. After I checked tvfool I thought I was out of luck.

The RCA 3030 has very long elements for the old lowband VHF frequencies, which you do not need.

Either add a Winegard YA-1713 to the 91XG or get a Winegard 7698 (has both UHF and VHF-HI) and the Channel Master 7777.
