Hi all,
I live in an ATL suburb. Most of the channels are coming from basically the same direction with the exception of channel 8 (PBS), which I watch a lot. My profile is below.

My antenna is a Channelmaster EXTREMEtenna 80. It is mounted outside about 15 feet AGL on a chimney. I have it pointed in the general direction of the majority of the transmitters. If I point it directly at them, then my channel 8 reception suffers considerably. If I point somewhere between the majority and my PBS station, the PBS reception is better but them I start seeing drops with some of the other stations, especially channel 2 (WSB).

I am desperate to do whatever I need to do to get this fixed. Being 10 miles or less from all of the channels, I feel like I should get excellent reception on all channels and I don't.

Any advice would be appreciated. I'm willing to buy another antenna if that will fix this.

Thanks!

Being 10 miles or less from all of the channels, I feel like I should get excellent reception on all channels and I don't.Yes, you would think so, but real channel 8 is in a different direction and you have a tree problem, as you mentioned in your previous thread.

You need a separate antenna aimed at 135 degrees magnetic for WGTV PBS on real channel 8.

If you still have the RCA ANT751, try aiming it at 8 to see how it does. If it works OK for 8, there might be a way to combine it. You can't use a simple UVSJ because you need NBC real channel 10 from the main antenna. And you can't use a splitter in reverse as a combiner.

If you don't still have the 751 or it doesn.t pick up 8, MCM makes a VHF-High yagi that might; the 30-2475 or 2476.
