Greetings Ralph,
Over the air HDTV is awesome.
Because you have several channels less than 10 miles away I
would rule out the MS 2000. The MS 2000 most likely would struggle
with signal overload issues and you would probably experience
digital signal drop out. I would also rule out two antennas this
can many times cause some of the same issues. I would be afraid you
would experience cross modulation in your digital tuner using two
antennas in that manner (one station interfering with another).
Also according to the FCC when the digital transition is
complete in 2009 you will have two VHF channels.
Your stations are approximately 60 degrees apart. I believe
you can use the
HD 7082 TV antenna aimed somewhere
between the two locations and receive them all. You may or may not
need a preamplifier. If you do the amplifier of choice would be the
Winegard HD 269
antenna preamplifier it's designed specificly for your
conditions. I would try it without the preamplifier unless it would
be difficult to add one at the antenna at a later date if so I
would recommend a preamplifier from the start.
If I can assist you further please don't hesitate to contact
me.
Denny
