i tried last summer installing an antenna but the channels were poor for the most part. so today i moved it and tried again about the same.
49442 shows me i should be able to get more that a dozen channels and i get about 13 of them i have a dipole that gets 49 and 2 beams that point to the ne and se i have had them from 8 ft to more that 50 ft and about the same.

what puzzles me is i get some channels further away that some stronger one's closer.

i get 13,17,29,49,54. with the beams pointing now i get 13 good 17 normal 29 good 49 good 54 poor to no signal.

if i read that map i should be getting a bunch more. i have i have a signal combiner on the system so i can have them all connected then one cable to the tv i'm testing with. i tried an amp but did not seem to be any difference.

i don't mind spending the money i just don't want to spend it twice.

so if anyone has a solution that can help out i sure do appreciate it thanks. i tried to follow the below plan. the pictures are of the system i'm trying to use now the top one is pointing north east the second one is taped to a pole about 10' away 10' from the ground higher doesn't seem to do any better with this one the last is pointing south east.

thanks for the help bp.
