VHF low band channels 2 thru 6 are still here , some Class A Full Power Tv stations , deliberately , intentionally , on purpose , stayed on the VHF low band channels and will continue to stay on the VHF low band channels and New Tv stations are choosing to transmit on the VHF low band channels.
I am in 100% agrement with transmitting on VHF low band and receiving the VHF low band.

Looks like WPVI REAL VHF channel 6 is your receivable ABC Tv station.
I recommend at a -->absolute minimum<-- a Winegard HD7000R All Channel antenna installed , outside in the clear , above the roof in such a manner that reception is not blocked by the roof and house in the directions of , north , north east , east.
Aim the antenna at about 49 degree magnetic compass direction.
A Winegard HD7082P All Channel antenna is the one I would install , outside in the clear , above the roof in such a manner that reception is not blocked by the roof and house in the direction of , north , north east , east.
Aim the antenna at about 49 degree magnetic compass direction.
Here is how to aim antennas ,

For 1 Tv connected use No splitter. No amplifier.
For 2 Tv's connected use a simple common 2 way splitter. No amplifier.

I recommend , do not , go cutting into coaxes here and there.
As an example.
If the coax cables go up through the walls into the attic and are routed to a outside location or to a location in the house , do not cut into any of the coaxes in the attic , the correct way is to route the coax from the antenna to the location that the coaxes from the locations in the house go to.
If that location that the coaxes go to is in the attic then Ok , but do not just go cutting coaxes , willy nilly.

As always , trees and tree leaves do a good job of , reflecting , absorbing , blocking , Digital Tv reception and so do buildings and other obstructions including your own roof and house.
It is best to install the antenna at a location that has the least amount to no amount of obstructions of any type or kind in the directions including your own roof and house.
The Tv's Must Channel Scan for the 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 Tv Setup Menu and select , 'Air Channels' / 'Antenna Channels'.
