The house with what looks like a blue roof from above , that is south of the curve part of the road CO RD 122 , and west of Honey Creek Cemetery.

The signal strengths are very weak but receivable.

The Digital Tv stations/channels to the north east at about 52 degree magnetic compass direction should be receive down the channel list to at least KDFI-DT REAL Digital UHF channel 36 , virtual number (27.1) MYNetwork.

The antenna will be mounted above the roof of the house no less then 25 feet above ground and 40 feet or as close to 40 feet would be better.

The antenna is aimed at about 52 degree magnetic compass direction.

Here is how to aim antennas , http://www.kyes.com/antenna/pointing/pointing.html.

Install a Winegard AP8275 preamp.

When the AP8275 preamp is installed do not use the little GE amp.

For one Tv connected use no splitter.

If you decide to connect more Tv's.

For 2 Tv's connected use a HFS-2D , 2 way splitter.

For 3 Tv's connected use a HFS-3D , 3way splitter.

For 4 Tv's connected use a HFS-4D , 4 way splitter.

Buy the HFS splitters at , http://www.hollandelectronics.com or http://www.solidsignal.com.

Here are some above the roof antenna mounts , http://www.ronard.com/909911.html , http://www.ronard.com/Tripods%200703/4712.html , http://www.ronard.com.

Buy the ronard antenna mounts at solidsignal by typing the word ronard in the solidsignal search box.

Here are some places to buy , http://www.solidsignal.com , http://www.amazon.com , http://www.winegarddirect.com.

As always , trees and tree leaves do a real fine job of reducing or blocking Tv reception and so do buildings and other obstructions in the direction of reception.

It is best to instatall the antenna at a location that has the least amount or no amount of obstructions in the reception path of the antenna.

The Tv/s Must Channel Scan for The Digital Broadcast Tv Channels , sometimes named the 'Air Channels' or 'Antenna Channels' in the Tvsetup menu because the Tv transmissions travel through the air from the transmitting antenna to the receiving antanna.

DO NOT channel scan for cable tv channels.

Here is a free standing no guy wires , light weight weight aluminum , lay over tower , do antenna instal and adjustments standing on the ground.
