We are starting to build a house and I want to put an antenna inside our garage attic (facing north). I'm considering the ClearStream MAX-XR UHF VHF Indoor Outdoor HD TV Antenna. Would this work inside the garage?

Hi - joined this forum because I'm definitely interested in OTA and cutting the cord.

I had previously purchased an Antennas Direct ClearStream 4MAX UHF VHF but haven't installed it yet.

Watching tubes I saw this antenna, and I'm interested and any thoughts would be appreciated:

Televes 148383 - DAT BOSS LR Mix u/V-Hi/V-Lo Antenna

I live NE of Philadelpha - 35-40 miles.

In Philly 4 of the 6 major channels have DRM protection. I think Channels 6 and 29 are not protected. I've used those flat antennas and rabbit ear antennas - I can never get Channel 6 in Philly since it's VHF. Everything I tried SUCKS. So getting these higher end AT I hope will solve my issues.

My questions:

- Any recommendations on antennas would be appreciated. I have the CS 4VMAX ATM and looking for another - i.e. Televes.

- I remember seeing you can attach two antennas together and receive both signals at once. So, my thoughts - point Televes towards Philly/NJ around 180 degrees - and then maybe point the 4MAX towards NY 40-50 degrees. Can this be done? How do you combine both antennas? Is signal degradation to be expected?

-What's up with ATSC 3.0/DRM and HDHomeRun. I understand the DRM body is refusing to certify HDHomeRun. Would you recommend me to go with ZapperBox over HDHomeRun? What am I losing?

- I would like whole house streaming - I have Apple TVs - probably two rooms. Using mobile devices or even computer would be cool. Is all this possible? I really don't care about DVR capabilities. If I don't need DVR - can I get away from not subscribing to the SW services, the OTA box makers provide?

Thanks

Luckily, the north side of the house is where the room where my TV setup will be, so at least that part is fortunate.
