Hi -
I'm in the bay area (zip 94597) and I checked on antennaweb and found that the stations that I want to pick up are rated red and blue.
I'm looking to pick up the major networks - don't really care about everything else.
Currently, I pick up just the first channel on this channel list - nothing else.
The directv installer put up my off-air antenna and just "pointed it towards San Francisco - Mt. Sutro". He didn't use a compass or anything specific.
My questions:
Is this a good enough antenna for my needs? Do I need the deep fringe prescription? Should I just point in the right direction (224 deg) and get a pre-amp?
Any help would be appreciated (especially with Football season starting!).
