There are no low-VHF signals in the DFW area so that eliminates #1, 4, 5, & 6 from the list.

All DFW stations except WFAA are UHF, so, a UHF-only antenna like #2 or #3 would be expected to miss that one.

The fact that you got nothing suggests to me, as to others, that something is either defective or something has been overlooked.

The 4228 is, like any 8 bay UHF antenna, VERY directional when dealing with the weakest signals, it must be accurately aimed for maximum effectiveness.

If you have a Menards nearby, they usually stock the RCA preamp. I'd suggest picking one up along with a fresh run of RG6. Install the pre-amp at the antenna and run the new coax directly to the TV set (and power inserter) bypassing any existing cabling and hardware. If you still get nothing, I'd then conclude the antenna's balun is defective.
