Reddit reviews Winegard HD7698P Platinum Series Long Range Outdoor TV Antenna (Digital, 4K Ultra-HD Ready, ATSC 3.0 Ready, High-VHF, UHF) - 65+ Mile Long Range HD Antenna

I feel like you're not getting a lot of direct answers here. I know there are plenty of variables, but there are few antennas that can achieve the 50+ mile range. That said, I live some 55 miles north of San Francisco, and use the Winegard HD7698P HDTV Antenna and receive crystal clear signal. However, if your run from the antenna to the TV or receiver is greater than 100 feet or so, I'd recommend getting the Winegard LNA-200 amplifier. It made a huge difference for me - my run is probably 200-250ft.

Edit: at 50 miles you'll HAVE TO use an outdoor antenna. There are no "leaf" style antennas that will work at this range. My antenna is mounted on a 10ft pole, to my chimney, some 40'+ off the ground.

I see that motivational speaker career is paying off!....

You have "line of sight" to the KHOU transmitters (which is good), but you're about 30 miles away. That's probably too far for a consistent signal with a window or attic antenna, especially on a VHF signal.

But a rooftop antenna should easily be able to pull in such a strong signal (and all your other stations). How about a Clearstream 2V or Winegard 7694p or 7698p strapped to your chimney or on a roof mount, with a RCA Preamp 1. A preamp locks in the signal you receive at the antenna so you don't bleed signal on the coaxial run to your television or at the splitters.

Point the antenna at 178 degrees using your iPhone compass app or install an Android compass app. On the roof, it'll pull in all your signals nicely because they all come from the same location.

FYI - the Clearstream is the nicest looking, but remember that federal law protects your right to put up pretty much any OTA antenna you want on your roof -- no matter what your HOA, city, or landlord prefer. FCC link 1 FCC link 2

FYI 2 -- if you previously had DirecTV or Dish Network, you might be able to re-use their rooftop mount and coaxial cable runs, assuming that their pole/mount gives you a clear, unobstructed view toward 178 degrees. You'll just need to swap out any Direct/Dish splitters/amplifiers for your own splitter or connector.

This is maybe a overkill:

But it is a good deal for Hi-VHF & UHF all depending what the TVfool report says.

I did go from 0/10 signal to 9/10 on a RF 7 channel 103miles away.
The old antenna was a Lo-VHF, HI-VHF, UHF 10" shorter.

This is the antenna I have.

I’d like to get nbc, cbs, Fox, ABC

I don’t think my report is working. I hope this one works.

The one you linked is HD7694P (45 miles, I worry that this may not be strong enough), did you mean to link https://www.amazon.com/Winegard-HD7698P-HDTV-High-Antenna/dp/B001DFTGRY
Either way thanks for the info, I just wanted to make sure

I use this antenna, when using an antenna in the Attic always get the biggest one that will fit

I use this in my garage Attic and still suffer some stuttering on windy or rainy days

You could go either with two separate VHF-Hi and UHF antennas what someone else has said or a combo antenna such as a Wineguard HD7698P , Xtreme Signal HD8200XL with a pre-amp mounted as high as possible. It should be aimed towards the transmitters which can be moved later. The combo antennas are roughly 12ft long so quite big.

KXLT is UHF and will most likely be very weather dependent if it will come in or not and the KT pre-amp is best for weak channels with a low NM such as -3.5NM. KTTC channel 10 is a VHF-Hi so you will probably have no issues picking up KTTC since it has an 8.5NM. This site can actually be incorrect and the signal is actually much more stronger than it says it is or go the other way and be very weak. I actually pick up a VHF-Hi channel 8 with 1.2NM and it comes in ~97% of the time with a Kitz Tech KT-200 pre-amp. Also putting up the antenna as high as possible is one of the best way of increasing the signal strength and hopefully you don't have any trees in the way of the transmitters otherwise multipath interference problems could occur.

The best pre-amps are a Kitz Tech KT-200(best for VHF but $$$) or a Winegard LNA-200 less $ to have the highest chance to pick up the Des Moines stations. You could do all this and not get your channel you want its a real crapshoot.

My advice. Concentrate on the red stations. What sandbagger8 has suggested for antennas and stations to concentrate on is good advice. However, in your situation, I would consider a combined antenna mounted on a rotor.

The winegard suggested by sandbagger8 is a good choice.

If you do not want to mess with a rotor, possibly consider the Clearstream 4 for UHF channels. Consider the Clearstream 5 if you have to receive the VHF station.
