DTV Antenna Location

[holmesuser01]

I thought I would never be posting anything in the digital forum, but here goes...

I finally cut the satellite TV service after 8 years. The commercial load, and lack of anything other than Roseanne, The Golden Girls, and a couple of others made me do it. This and the price increase notice.

For now, I've got a little ad-on Zenith DTV tuner connected to rabbit ears, and running on my 32" Sanyo CRT set. I'm going to have to install a better antenna to pick up the stations that are about 65 miles away, in our viewing market.

I still have my antenna rotor unit. I can install it on the chimney like the old antenna was, or....

What do you think of installing the antenna in the attic? There is room for it. Would the asphalt shingles cause any problems?

Also, I need some suggestions on a good antenna for this.

Thanks!!
