Buffalo NY HDTV Antenna Question

[Tom-Fred]

Hi Guys,

I want to replace my outdoor 20 mile UHF antenna with a DB8 antenna. I’m using a Alliance U100 rotor that has been in use for more years then I can remember. I have rebuilt it a couple of times and it sill keeps going. I would like some info about the use of the DB8 antenna. I live in the Town of Tonawanda a couple blocks north of Sheridan Dr. on Elmwood Ave. If I were to point the DB 8 toward Toronto, I’m going to be looking NW right into Channels 17.1, 23.1, 29.1, 49.1. Will this overload my Sony HDTV and/or prevent me from getting Channels 5.1 and 9.1 and maybe other channels on the CN Tower? The antenna on my house is about 30ft. high and 5 miles line of sight to the Grand Island antennas towers. 2.1, 4.1, 7.1 would be 30 miles SE of Buffalo I’m also using new 75 feet RG/6 Sat grade cabel. I’m not going to use a pre-amp. I would like to here some input about the DB 8 from some who might have a similar problem.

Thanks
