Can anyone tell me why I don't get WPMT

[windisch33]

Here is my TVFOOL report
http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=29&q=id%3d8d170c18ee97f5

I have a Channel Master 4228HD, and I get WLYH, WGAL, WITF, WHTM, WGCB, WHP, and WWPX.

Can anyone tell me why I don't get WPMT or give me any tips to pick it up?

What is the magnetic compass direction of the antenna pointed at now ?? . The antenna you have is a directional antenna , it receives the best in One Direction. The sides of the antenna will be almost no reception. The back of the antenna will be greatly reduced reception. Here is how to point Tv antennas , http://www.kyes.com/antenna/pointing/pointing.html

My antenna is pointed at 72 degrees.

How many sets are connected?

Are there any splitter ports unused, including connected to cable that has no set connected?

Are you using any amplifiers or 'boosters'?

How old is this antenna system?

Is the antenna mounted outside or in the attic?

My antenna is brand new and is mounted on the roof of my house. There are no splittets it's just a straight line of cable from the antenna to one tv. No amps or boosters.

The no reception situation of WPMT is likley signal reflections from , trees , buildings , mountains. Try turning the antenna to the left and right for better reception. Having the antenna at a different angle can reduce a signal reflection. Also try raising and lowering the antenna. Also try the double rescan suggested at http://www.dtv.gov . Also use a coax grounding block to ground the shied of the coax to earth ground , this directs unwanted signals to earth ground and keeps them out of the Tv tuner.

Some Tv's and converter boxes have parental control that can block channels.

You are picking up a weaker station, WWPX, that's in the wrong direction. That means that your coax should be fine and your F connectors are OK, but suggests that your antenna works in the wrong direction.

I'd double check how you figured out which is the front of the antenna and which is the side. Next, is the balun connected properly?
