Looking at the tvfool Pending Applications Included , OTA=Over The Air , Digital Broadcast Tv stations/channels List.

I see that the first 4 Canada Digital Broadcast Tv stations/channels , in the Green reception zone of the tvfool channel list are , medium signal strength , Are LOS=Line of sight , and fairly close at about 20 miles away , thats all good.

The rest of the Canada Digital Broadcast Tv stations are , Much Weaker of signal strength , are not LOS and are further away. This situation is not so good.

For Reliable reception of the Canada Digital Broadcast Tv stations/channels to the , east and south west.

Above The Roof of the house in such a manner that reception is not blocked by the roof and house.

Install a Winegard HD7696P antenna with a Winegard HDP-269 preamp aimed at about 86 degree magnetic compass direction , East.

Here is how to aim antennas , http://www.kyes.com/antenna/pointing/pointing.html , for reception of the Weaker Canada Digital Broadcast Tv stations/channels.

The Stronger Canada Digital Broadcast Tv stations/channels in the Green reception zone of the tvfool channel list that are the direction of south west will be received thru/at the back angle of/to the HD7696P antenna.

Some common Above the Roof antenna mounts are , tripod antenna mount , eave antenna mount , chimney antenna mount.

_________________________________________

For 1 Tv connected use No splitter.

For 2 Tv's connected use a 2 way splitter.

For 3 Tv's connected use a 3 way splitter.

Splitters that pass power through the splitter are the best to use because if the the power supply/power injector is one one side of the splitter and the preamp is on the other side of the splitter , power needs to go through the splitter.

The best power passing splitters to use are , HFS splitters.

HFS-2D , 2 way splitter.

HFS-3D , 3 way splitter.

Buy the HFS splitters , and antennas in the USA at , http://www.solidsignal.com , http://www.hollandelectronics.com.

And Canada at , http://www.saveandreplay.com , http://www.trentondistributors.com.

As always , trees and tree leave do a good job of , reflecting , reducing , blocking , Digital Broadcast Tv reception and so do buildings and other obstructions including your own roof and house.

It is best to install the HD7696P antenna at a location that has the least amount to no amount of obstructions in the directions of reception including your own roof and house.

The Tv's Must Channel Scan for the , OTA=Over The Air , Digital Broadcast Tv stations/channels , often named the , 'Air Channels' or ' 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 Digital Tv setup menu and select the , 'Air Channels' / 'Antenna Channels'.
