Hi Ken,

The trees are a definite problem which you cannot change. Another issue
would be splitting an already weak signal. I install antennas several times
per week. I have not had good luck/outcomes with your type of antenna.
I would try the following..... I would connect a flatpanel tv to your antenna
while on the roof using a 5-10 foot RG6 cable. See what you get. If things
improve dramatically, you have issues with the cable/runs/amp/splitter.
If things don't change dramatically, you have a weak signal at the antenna.
The MCM 4 or 8 bay antennas work well for UHF and are relatively inexpensive.
The MCM high band antennas work on Rf 7-13 and are quite cheap, actually.
Another option would be the Winegard 7694p, mounted about 10ft higher than
current. The Winegard is UHF and Hi-VHF. With the MCM antennas, I ALWAYS
recommend two different cable, one for each antenna and an A/B switch.
Let us know what you find.........
