The Main part of the Analog to Digital Broadcast Tv transition happened June 2009 , All Full Power Analog Tv stations changed from Analog to Digital.
______________________________
Analog , Low Power , Repeater/Translator , stations have until September 2015 to complete the transition from Analog to Digital.
Many have changed from Analog to Digital and Many have not yet.
_______________________________________
Tvfool is showing 2 Analog Tv transmitters to the South West. At 243/242 degree magnetic compass direction.
_______________________________
WPHJ-LP = Low Power ,

WPHJ-LP may be Analog now or may have changed to Digital.
_____________
W14CQ UHF channel 14 .
If transmitting.
May be Analog and may be Digital.
Or may not be transmitting.

____________________________
Both transmitters are listed as , LOS=Line of Sight and are listed as weak signal strength in the Yellow reception zone and are listed as 27.5 miles away.
__________________
Directional antennas receive the best at the front of the antenna then front angles to the antenna.
Directional Tv antennas receive the Least amount of signal Directly on the sides of a directional Tv antenna , the HD7698P antenna is a Directional antenna.
Directional Tv antennas receive to a lesser degree at back angles and at the back of the antenna.
Recommend aim the HD7698P antenna at about 110 degree magnetic compass direction.
This will put the 2 tv transmitters at a back angle to the HD7698P antenna.
________
If the transmitter/s is/are transmitting Analog , the received signal and resulting picture will be a bad.
Ghosts/multipul images , some snow in the picture , lines in the picture.
The Analog reception picture can be improved buy aiming the HD7698P antenna at the transmitters.
However that means that the Main group of Tv stations to the south east will not be received well.
___________________________
If the , south west , Tv stations/channels are Digital then the picture and sound will most likely be Clear.
Digital Broadcast Tv reception is either Clear , or , pixilated , or , blank.
Digital Transmission and Reception has built correction signals for picture and sound , that Correct most of the transmission and reception situations/problems in the Tv tuners computer.
Even when the HD7698P antenna aim direction is the main group of Tv stations/channels to the south east , not south west.
_________________________________
I do not recommend using a antenna rotator to aim the HD7698P antenna at the , south east and south west , Tv stations.
Antenna rotation Is Not channel surfing friendly , must wait for antenna to rotate and there Will Be Domestic situations about the direction the antenna is aimed.
If the reception get's to the point that reliable reception of the , south west , Tv transmitters is not happening.
Then I recommend 2 Separate antennas and coax systems.
The HD7698P antenna system aimed at about , 110 magnetic compass.
And a -->Completely Separate antenna and Completely Separate coax system <--> Channel Master CM4228HD and antenna and coax system aimed at about 242 / 243 degree magnetic compass direction.
A antenna system amplifier will most likely not be required.
For 1 Tv connected use No splitter.
For 2 Tv's connected use a simple common 2 way splitter.
______
The 2 SEPARATE antenna systems Are Not connected together on to one common coax.
The 2 Separate antenna systems are Separate All The Way to the Tv locations.
The Separate antenna coaxes are connected to a , Remote control A/B coax antenna switch at each Tv location.

Yes Remote Control A/B antenna switching Is Channel Surfing Friendly , Press the button on the hand held remote control , change antennas and keep on channel surfing.
