I have included my TV fool assessment.


I'm about 28 miles out from the major broad sites. The problem is 3 of the channel's I want are in the high VHF band.


PBS = RF Channel 8

CBS = RF Channel 11

ABC = RF Channel 13


I was originally looking at Antenna Direct's DB2 or DB4. But I heard those are only meant for recieving the UHF band.


What would be proper for my application. I really want to be able to get CBS and ABC.


I need to roof mount since my attic has a radiant barrier.

you might consider the Winegard HD1080, a small VHF/UHF bowtie unit - may not have the gain if you don't have a clear line of sight to the towers.


otherwise, a Winegard HD7694 / 7695 / 7696 unit


These are the new series cut for VHF 7 up to UHF 52, so they are not as large as the older units cut for the very low VHF 2 thru 6 channels.

Kamiraa,


A HBU-22 would be a low cost alternative. It has sufficient gain on both UHF and high VHF for the broadcast towers in your location.


HTH.

The Antennacraft HBU-22 or (slightly smaller) RCA 751

I'm trying to stay away from the long 60 inch v shaped antenna's if possible. I'd pay more for it to be less of an eyesore on the house.

The RCA 751 is smaller.


It is a clone of the one in this image:

The "V" or "T" shape is what gets you the VHF channels.
