Not saying you should buy this antenna, but for your basic knowledge. This antenna I purchased last spring from Amazon for $27 with free shipping and it gets all the Orlando channels except for channel 2. I believe that station's transmitter is much further east. You'll get 6, 9, 24 and 35 without any problems, and 6 and 9 have sub-channels, you'll also get many higher channels. Unfortunately many of these other channels are either Spanish language or religious programing with the exception of QVC Channel and Buzzr Channel, which reruns old game shows.

I put the antenna in my attic and it's aimed at about 115 degrees and we are in the area of Sebreeze Rec Center just north of 466A. There is an app that will give you the best direction to aim, also you can either just lay the antenna across the trusses or for $18 more there is a mounting pole available. For expert advice you can always contact Villager AV.
