The brackets can be mounted below the peak if the direction toward the towers is not aimed through the roof. You can cut off the mast if it's too long.

The 2001C may be a little weak for DTV. Try this one instead;

I like that option as well. I will have to examine the house and think about the ideal mounting method. I will also look and see if there is a similar eave mount with a crossbar available at Skywalker in case that turns out to be the best method for us.

Regarding the 2001C, you may not have realized I was referring to using it strictly as an FM antenna. Someone had suggested Antennacraft FM antennas, and I don't see Skywalker has any, so I was looking for something they have in stock in a similar price range.

I'm still planning to use a Winegard 769X series for UHF/VHF, just unsure if I should go with the 7694P to be cheaper and lighter to carry, or something like the 7697 to ensure reception without a pre-amp and not having to re-do the job. Worried about the possibility of conflicting with further channels and multicast. See comments at the bottom of my OP. Suggestions?
