I'm in zip code 63401

This means that my local off air channels will revert
to high VHF next Feb....... channels 7 and 10.


Along with few channels that will stay on UHF mainly
PBS channel

Soooo..... I need a combo high VHF/UHF antenna

Compact would be nice for sure

I'm looking at these two diff antennas:

Channel Master 2016

Or the Winegard HD 1080

http://www.summitsource.com/product_...oducts_id=7048

I'm gonna mount the antenna at the peak of my side of
the duplex I rent and the towers are all in same
direction and 20+ miles northeast of me. I will use a J
mast and mount like a satellite dish.

Which of these two antennas would YOU go for and why?
I'm undecided!!


definitely the HD, anything with HD in the name has to be higher
definition than anything else and that must be better than non-HD.



Remember the special antennas that were sold which were marked "color" TV
antennas?
