Re: Best Directional HDTV antenna?
Danger Will Robinson...
I suggest finding out if the post-feb configuration for your stations will include VHF or not. In my case, there is one VHF digital signal already (which I can't get from my attic even with a huge antenna) and a second station will be switching its DTV from UHF to VHF in february.
So if one of your stations is or is going to be a VHF odd-ball, these UHF solutions will not cut it for you.
I personally use the 4-bowtie uhf and get great reception from 30 miles out, in some cases 'on the bounce' as I can get both Cinci and Dayton channels with it pointed to Cinci. But again, it is no VHF antenna and doesn't do much with regard to FM either.
Another dimension is the VHF-low -vs- VHF-hi difference - you can get some combo VHF-hi + UHF antennas which are much shorter/smaller than full VHF+UHF+FM.
Bottom line, I suggest a trip to Antennaweb.org to see what the post-feb story will be in your area.
good luck and be safe!
