[mythtv-users] Antenna advise

[david brooke]

I just got my notice that comcast will be encrypting my basic channels. I'm
looking to get setup with OTA channels. I played around with a local
station and a "paperclip" antenna and things seem to be working well. I
need advise on a proper antenna and I know there are several variables to
consider. I have researched these two sites:
http://antennaweb.org
http://www.tvfool.com
I have gotten alot of useful info but I really need to find out which will
be the best antenna since a lot of effort goes into getting the unit,
setup, etc... and I don't want to return one if possible.

This is the info per tvfool:
channel NM   Power Path    Miles  Azimuth  VHF UHF
43        64.2   -26.6   LOS    3.5     91 95                X
19        42.1   -48.7   LOS    27.3   112 117            X
8          37.6   -53.3   1Edge 25.6   19 23        X
49        21.9   -69      2Edge 46.1   4  8                   X
51        21.6   -69.2   2Edge 46.1   4  8                   X
11        21.4   -69.5   2Edge 46.6   4  8           X
26        21.3   -69.5   2Edge 47.5   5  9                   X
47        19.5   -71.3   2Edge 47.5   5  9                   X

It seems that a two antenna setup should work:

antenna 1 (UHF) Indoor Multi-Directional
channels 19 and 43

antenna 2 (VHF & UHF) Rooftop Large Directional
channels 8,11,26,47,49,51

Please let me know your thoughts.
