Not understanding the map
So I've been trying to figure out what type/size of antenna to get but I don't really get how to read the map. It doesn't help that I'm colorblind so the green, yellow, red, grey doesn't help me much. If I post my results or add my zip code, would someone be willing to help? Thanks so much.

Thank for the report. I will study it and get back to you.
You have channels in many directions. It is important that you select the ones most important to you. http://forum.tvfool.com/attachment.p...4&d=1516667860 |

Here are the colors; they are not easy for me either. The yellow blends in with the red, and the red blends with the grey at the line of demarcation.

The 7698 is a little more difficult to set up but has more gain. Aim the antenna at 353 degrees for WFXA through KRIN. You will also need a preamp like the Antennas Direct Juice Channel Master 7778 Channel Master 7777HD/Amplify; has HI & LO gain settings Those signals are partially blocked (indicated by 2Edge) by the curvature of the earth because they are far away, so reception will vary. Try to avoid the trees at the NW corner of your house; trees block TV signals. It's the best solution I can think of now, but I can't guarantee it. |
Thank you very much.
I have DirecTV now so I'll sill have the dish on my roof. Do you think I can just mount the antenna on the current dish? |

Your reception location is not the best; it will require some experimentation. EDIT: The antenna must be high enough so that the signals can clear the peak of your roof. |
