Hey there. First time poster on here and pretty new to getting ota channels. Me and the girlfriend decided to give this a try.

We can get a good few channels here but I'd really like some home help gettin to know if I can get a couple other specific ones, like the CBC and ctv.

We are using just a set top Panasonic antenna on a second floor. Please check out the link for the stats for my area and if you have any tips for how I could get these stations let me know. Thanks.

It's a house, on the second floor.
There's one window in the room this antenna will be placed in. It's east facing and about ten feet from where there tv and antenna are placed.
And as well just 1 tv connected in here.

Some Above the Roof antenna mounts are , Tripod antenna mounts , Eave antenna mounts , Chimney antenna mounts.

_____________________________________________

As always , trees and tree leaves do a good job of , reflecting , reducing , blocking , Digital Tv reception and so do buildings and other obstructions including your own roof and house.

It is best to install the HD7082P antenna at a location that has the least amount to no amount of obstructions of any type or kind in the directions of reception including your own house.

The Tv/s Must Channel Scan for the Digital Broadcast Tv Channels , often named the 'Air Channels' or 'Antenna Channels' because the OTA= Over The Air Tv transmissions travel through the air from the transmitting antenna to the receiving antenna.

Some Digital Tv's will automatic channel scan for cable tv channels.

DO NOT channel scan for cable tv channels.

Go into the Tv setup menu and select , 'Air Channels' / 'Antenna Channels'.
