Ok.

I'm gonna buy an HD antenna to pick up several HD signals. According to antennaweb, they range from 87 to 91 deg, at a distance of 26 - 30 miles.

I'm trying to research antennas. I know bigger and higher is better, but I don't want some huge thing on my house. I'd like to keep it as small as possible.

What is the difference between some of the antennas?

Again, antennaweb says i'm good at yellow, except one light green. And I need a large multi-directional.

But if all the channels I want are with in 4 degrees of each other at 30 miles, can I get a medium directional?

Thanks for any help.

I mean directly in the way from where I want to put my antenna, and the towers... Hmmmm....

I gotta go look at my house again.

bye bye pine tree

I was thinking the same thing. After spending all that money on the plasma...the pine tree doesn't stand a chance!

It provides awesome shade for the whole front of my house and driveway in the summer.

I guess Comcast will have to do, unless I get a HUGE antenna, and point it at San Francisco...
