Hello,
I'm looking for some advice on setting up an antenna in Windsor, Ontario.
My TV Fool: http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=29&q=id%3dec2f6ebc494624
I'd like to be able to get CKCO #42 and CIII #22 and CBET #9 plus the Detroit stations. The house is a brand new 2-storey and the antenna will feed a single HDHomeRun receiver in the basement (about 40 feet away).
Thanks,

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.
Some and not all Negative Effects are.
Absorbing and Blocking Reception.
Multi-Path Reflecting Tv Signals Bouncing All Around.
The Best Practice for Reliable Reception is to 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.
