I know it's been brought up in the past, but I'm too lazy to go look through the archives.

What good OTA Antennas are out there now? Is channel master still the gold standard? Looking to mount inside an attic. 35 miles to the transmitter across water, and through a couple sand dunes and a forest (NW Indiana across lake Michigan to Chicago)

Looks like there are square and yagi antennas. The Yagi antennas say 'line of sight' Does that really mean LOS like we think of LOS, or LOS as in it has to be aimed at the receiver?

Has to go in the attic because my mom says 'anything that goes on the roof will leak', but she's ready to dump Comcast because they keep raising her price and taking away her channels (last straw was them pulling TCM from her package). I was at least smart enough to put in a conduit from the attic to the basement when they built the house. Yagi might be hard to aim in the attic. Would it work just the same on a post in the yard, or does the extra 15' of height to the attic really help.
