RJXJ - Was looking on GOOGLE and see alot of these DB8 BOW TIE antennas mounted in the attic. They are like 3x4 feet and smaller if you can get away with using half of that size. Most attic are all wood constructed which doesnt attn UHF signals all that bad...

When I first moved here I had a LOWES VHF/UHF long antenna laying in the rafter here at this house and it did real good picking up Washington DC channels 40-50 miles away.
BUMPY - I think everyone else answered your MOVIES question. They all are carrying the ME WE and a host of other CLASSICS channels... Get to watch the real HAWAII 5-0 series haha... Book'em Danny
I will have to learn spanish here to view some of the PBS forein channels coming in. Last time I had my BATWING and KING antenna up making some test I was getting 30-40 channels here of something most all in HDTV format....
I got just the spot on my Ham Radio steel pole mounted on the peak of the north end of the roof here. My BOW TIE will fit first just above the roof line then my ham vertical VHF/UHF antennas above that...
The DB8 will require an amplifier so i will have to run up a 12VDC amplifier control voltage up the RG6 coax just like in the RV trailers.
