Hi New and how to choose best OTA outdoor antenna ?

Postby oluvinu on Tue Aug 16, 2011 2:51 pm

hi i went to the geo locator http://www.hdtvantennalabs.com/location/92563/

at 70 miles ihad about 90 stations and at 100 miles i had about 114 stations . Not sure if its a lot but sound s like a lot to me :).
my question is .

1- what type of antenna is best for the roof of a house ?

2- how high (minimum) does it need to be to get best signal of stations ?

3- how do i know based on my terrain if i will get all or most of these stations ?

4- what is a good base price to start for antenna?
is $200 or $300 ?

5- how do i find an installer?
- i called a few installers and they all seem to say i wont get any good signal BUT that they can give me good signal if i choose direct-tv or dish-network with them. i can read there they want to sell me a service and are lying .
