I have room in my attic, which would probably be the best place if I can find a good unit that is fairly small. My problem is that I live in a stucco clad house--If I can just get the antenna above the stucco, I should get great reception.

Do they make a small unit with a remote rotator on it?

As far as I know, they've stopped making them altogether, but you might find something at a motor home/travel trailer supplier.

I got a unit, years ago, about two feet across, said to be omnidirectional. I installed it in the attic and it works pretty well.

Make sure your channel of interest comes in clear.

Plan B:

Get a good set of rabbit ears, pick up an amplifier, maybe at Home Depot, set up the rabbit ears on a card table in your attic, and run the cable down to your set.
