I read the guidelines so hopefully I don't lave anything out.

No existing antenna. Single-story house. Tall tree line (30-40 feet) to the east and west.

I would like to receive each of the five network.

Thanks in advance for the help. I'm trying to cut the cable cord and was told this site is the place to start.

Oh yeah I forget to add. I'm running this to four TVs. However, I might use a setup like SilconDust's HDHome Run if that's better that splitting the signal.

Here is the new map with at 30 feet high. Thanks.

Keep the old radar map and repost a new one with the antenna at 30 feet high.

Looking for help. Thanks.

For reliable reception, you need to pull out the big guns - an Antennas Direct 91XG for the UHF stations (real 14-51) and an AntennaCraft Y10-7-13 for the VHF stations (real 7-13). Install as high as you can, with the 91XG on top and aim both antennas to the southeast, at about 150 degrees. Combine the antennas with a Channel Master 7777 preamp, using the proper inputs.

I agree with Dave.

If you are considering a Silicondust HD Homerun, you could add a moderate 4-bay panel antenna such as a DB-4 aimed at the PBS station at 248°. Run the line from that antenna to one of your HDHR tuners, giving you reliable access to that network. The other HDHR input could be fed by the SE facing antenna array.
