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 roof and building.

The Best Practice is to install the HD7698P 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 roof and building.

The Tv/s Must Channel Scan for the , OTA=Over The Air , Digital Broadcast Tv stations/channels , often named the 'Air Channel' ~ 'Antenna Channels' in the Tv Setup Menu because the Tv transmissions travel through the Air from the transmitting antenna to the receiving antenna.

Some digital tv's will Automatic channel scan for cable tv channels.

DO NOT channel scan for cable tv channels.

Go into the Tv Setup Menu and select 'Air Channels' ~ 'Antenna Channels'.

Scan for channels.

_______________

Some satellite systems will accept and distribute antenna channels ~via~ the satellite system passive and active componnets.

And some satellite systems WILL NOT.

Check with your satellite system installer.

____

A single continues length of coax can be run from the HD7698P antenna to 1 Tv so as to receive Broadcast Tv untill the satellite system is disconnected.

When satellite service is cancelled.

Disconnect and Remove ALL satellite system passive and active componnets such as and not limited to , multi-switches , multi-plexers , splitters , couplers , power supplies , power injectors , amplifiers , and etc. .

YEs it is Ok to use the satellite systen coaxes and other coaxes that are in/on the building to get the antenna reception from point A to point B.

______________

If any type or kind of cable tv service is being used , be it , cable tv , cable internet service , cable phone service , the cable service/s must not be connected to the coaxes that are being used for the antenna system.

Any cable deliverd service Must Be on a seperate coax.
