WESH and WKMG (NBC and CBS) have translator towers which are received with no problem. For ABC the Gainsville station on 20.1 comes in fine as well as their PBS station. Orlando is 60 miles away from me and this made it easy. I don't get the religious or Spanish channels but not interested. Give this option a try.
Thank you for the info, just took may 2 antennas out of the attic storage and tried them. I will be putting the Db4e along the side of my house over the nexrt couple of days, I was able to get 10 channels with it clamped on to a ladder in my driveway.
