What antenna would you recommend for my home which is located in zip code 37813? Any help would be appreciated.

You have both the Bristol and Knoxville stations available to you: a VHF-UHF antenna mounted on a rotator will get them all for you, if you are willing to use a rotator. if this was my installation, I would use a Winegard HD-7084P antenna mounted on the roof, along with a good rotator like a Channel Master 9521a. I would use a high-input preamplifier like a Winegard HDP-269 ONLY if you plan to run more than one TV set from the antenna. You need such a large antenna because there are hills between your receiving location and the Knoxville transmitters, and also because WCYB, the ABC affiliate from the Bristol area, operates on low-band VHF channel 5. Good Luck!
