Ran into this site by accident. Tigerbang

, I hope you can help me. I've talked to numerous people on numerous forums, and everyone's got a different opinion. I've heard so many different setup options my head is spinning.

Here's my situation...

I'm at 05773 Wallingford, VT. I'd like to get stations in (either not both) 12201 Albany, NY or 05401 Burlington, VT.

Here's the kicker... I'm roughly 78 miles from the towers in Albany and 74 miles from the towers in Burlington. My clearest shot would Albany.

What would be best for my setup? I'd like to get as many networks as possible. Albany would be at 237 deg. from my locale, and Burlington would be at 20 deg.

I've talked to the guys at Winegard as well as AntennasDirect, station engineers, you name it. Everyones got a different solution.

Option#1

All-in-one, like a CM 3671 or Wingard HD8200P with CM 7777 pre-amp

Option #2

91XG, along with a V21 or something better???, a combiner, and a pre-amp???

Option #3

Your recommendation goes here!

I wish I knew how to attach photo's here. I could show you 8 photos of the different TIGER coverage maps for each of the stations within their markets.

I'm so sick of not being able to get the HD network feeds it's making me sick. I can't get them through dish or any other way at this point in time. So, I'm thinking OTA may be my only prayer!!!

Please help.
