If so, I'm going to mount mine in the attic and point it exactly in the direction you mentioned. Thanks again, I'm looking forward to gaining back some bill money!
Yes, all including channel 3. Good luck and remember to use tvfool.com for exact bearings as yours might be different. A handy item was a compass program for my android to help with alignment. Let me know how it turns out.

It's hard to believe that it's been almost two years since I first found this thread and started asking some questions! Fact is, I finally cut the cord! I hooked my antenna up in the attic, pointed it about 175 degrees from true north straight into a series of 100 year old rafters, and beyond that, my neighbors house, and as a result, I have beautiful HD reception of all of the locals, and my favorite, Antenna TV! I couldn't be happier! Thanks to all of you, and your advice!

I didn't know that there were VHF and UHF antennas?? It's strictly a digital signal now, so as long as your TV is digital ready, or you have the converter box, you should be okay, right?
