Very cool setup. At my folks house, before they got locals over satellite, they got them all over antenna. The problem was that the major networks were all located in or around DC, while the local PBS station was dozens of miles south of the city. My folks are about 8 miles west southwest of the city, so their antenna wouldn't pick up any of the PBS channels. The only option our satellite installer (not DirecTV-provided - a local guy) gave us was to install a motor that would turn the antenna, but we decided not to go with that due to the equipment being very expensive.

I like your solution a lot, but I'm glad I can get all my local channels over fiber. Thank goodness for FIOS!
