I borrowed medium directional unknown brand & model, about 6'L x 4' W https://dl.dropbox.com/u/46204484/2013-02-17%2015.54.12.jpg and did some tests this weekend. Channel 48 (4.1) had 10% signal (according to my tv) inside 1st floor and inside 2nd floor. Didnt try attic as there was 0 improvement between 1st and 2nd floor,. Antenna laying on the ground outside the signal went up to 25%-30 and was viewable. Only 1 other channel came in clearly with no "lag". Holding the antenna on front porch, so about 8' elevation, brought the signal up to 60%. I did not verify all the channels at this point, probably should have.
1. What antenna is recommended for this location? If I get UHF only antenna will I be unable to view channels 7 & 9, but will be able to view Fox5.1 because it is actually on channel 36?
2. Can someone provide a link covering roof mounting? I thought it was all done with tripods, but then I was looking at some pics and it seems that passing the mast through the roof into an attic mount makes the most sense.
