After trying the monoprice amped antennas & a couple of others, I purchased the
Winegard FV-HD30 antenna and the Winegard AP-8700 Preamplifier.
Total for both from Amazon was < $60 @ the time. Both the HD30 & the AP-8700 handle UHF and VHF digital signals.
Many amped antennas don't play nice with VHF signals.
The HD30 sits on top of a dresser by the 2nd floor bedroom window & feeds 4 TVs and a
HD HomeRun dual tuner.
Reception is great, getting 40+ OTA channels {half are HD} from NoVA, DC, and MD.
Total cable run is approx. 80 feet after the amp.
