Some and not all Negative Effects are.

The Best Practice for Reliable Reception is to install the , HBU11K 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 roof and building.

---------------------

The Tv's Must Channel Scan for the , ATSC-Digital Broadcast Tv Stations/Channels , often named the ~ Antenna Channels ~ ATSC Channels ~ DTV Channels ~ Air Channels ~ in the Tv Setup Menu.

DO NOT channel scan for cable tv channels.

I have setup the recommended equipment. only thing that is different is i went with the HBU22.

I am only recieving 2 channels on one tv. I can get 6 channels on a different tv. Does that seem low? I was hoping to get a few more than that.

Anything that i can check that might be hindering my reception? I do have some trees to my west. here is the signal analysis again.
