Need some help!

Hi

I have read alot of the information on hd antennas but still can't figure out which antenna would work the best. I would like to be able to receive the most HD channels possible. I have attached a link below for my Signal Location. I really appreciate any help you can give me on what type of antenna to purchase and any other information you would think is important.

The provided tvfool report says resolved to block level only.

The signal strengths are Weak signal strengths.

To see if signal strengths improve.

Please make and post tvfool reports using the Exact address.

Make the antenna heights in the separate reports , 25 feet , 40 feet .

We are located 60 miles from Detroit so I know the signals are probably fairly weak. I figured I would have to get an antenna that needs a fairly long range to get anything to work. Thanks for you time, it's appreciated alot.

Also know this.

As always , trees and tree leaves , plants and plant leaves , have a Negative Effect on Broadcast Tv Reception and so do buildings and other obstructions including your own , attic , roof , building in the directions of reception.

Some and not all Negative Effects are.

The Best Practice for Reliable Reception is install the 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 , attic , roof , building.
