I recommend remove and discard the old antenna.

-----------------

For reception of the Denver Tv stations.

KMGH Real VHF high band channel 7 ABC.

KUSA Real VHF high band channel 9 NBC.

KBDI Real VHF high band channel 13 PBS.

KRMA Real UHF band channel 18 PBS. Rocky Mountain PBS.

KTVD Real UHF band channel 19 MyNetwork and Me-Tv.

KCNC Real UHF band channel 35 CBS.

-----------------

YES the antenna/s can be moved off the roof and installed at a location that has the least amount to no amount of obstructions in the direction/s of reception.

-----------------

Install a http://www.antennacraft.net.

Y10-7-13 , VHF high band channels 7 thru 13 antenna aimed at about 324 degree magnetic compass direction.

And install a , Antennas Direct , DB8e , Current UHF channels 14 thru 51 antenna aimed at about 323 degree magnetic compass direction.

http://www.amazon.com.

------------------------------------

Install the Y10-7-13 antenna at about 3 feet below the DB8e antenna on the same antenna mast.

------------------------------------

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

Use a Real and Actual magnetic compass to aim antenna , do not trust a , cell phone , tablet and etc. compass.

As always , antenna aim and location can be adjusted for best reception.

------------------------------------

Install a ,

http://www.antennacraft.net.

10G221 preamplifier.

Connect the Y10-7-13 VHF antenna to the VHF connection of the 10G221 preamp.

Connect the DB8e antenna to the UHF connection of the 10G221 preamp.

-----------------------------------

As a Test to prove reception , run a New Continues Length of Coax through a open door or window direct to 1 Tv , No couplers , No splitters .

-----------------------------------

If reception is OK , can then install other components.

-----------------------------------

For 1 Tv connected use No splitter.

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

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

Buy the , HFS-2D , HFS-3D , splitters at , http://www.hollandelectronics.com , or , http://www.amazon.com.

----------------------------------

As you know by now , trees in the path of reception are Not friendly to reception.

The closer trees are in the path of reception the more disrupted reception will be.

The further away are trees and other obstructions are from the antennas in the directions of reception the better the reception will be.

----------------------------------

This 10 foot tripod antenna mount might be useful for a antenna mount on the roof or at some other location.

Use the , ronard(712-50-10) .

----------------------------------

The Tv Tuner must channel scan for the ATSC Digital Broadcast Tv Stations/Channels.

Do Not Channel Scan for Cable Tv Channels.

----------------------------------

Digital Tuners can develop - Digital Glitches - that are not cleared out with simple channel scans.

To clear tuner do Double Rescan.

----------------------------------

Also the Tuner in the Tv might be defective.


----------------------------------

Also can Test reception of the Colorado Springs Tv Stations.

Aim the antennas at about 169 degree magnetic compass direction.
