Looking at the , Digital Current Plus Pending Applications Included Radar Report and Channel List.

The Tv stations in the Green and Yellow reception zones will be received with a , Antennas Direct , DB8e UHF channels 14 thru 51 antenna because those receivable channels are All UHF Channels.

The Tvfool channel list report and radar map shows under the channel list , Real Channel , Real channels are the channels that are transmitted and received.

(virt) virtual numbers are not Real Channels even if the virtual number is the same as the Real Channel.

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

The antenna heights of , 25 , 40 , 75 , feet show little difference in signal strengths and are all LOS Line Of Sight.

The main issue of reception of your area of the USA is Trees , Trees obstruct and block Tv reception.

If you can install the DB8e antenna at 75 feet that is Ok.

If you can install the DB8e antenna at a lower antenna height and avoid most or all trees and other obstructions in the directions of reception , North West , South West , North East , then a lower antenna height will be Ok.

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

Aim 1 panel of the DB8e antenna at about 306 degree magnetic compass direction.

Aim the other panel of the DB8e antenna at about 225 degree magnetic compass direction.

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

Use a Real and Actual magnetic compass to aim antenna.

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

I recommend Test reception with the DB8e antenna at about 25 feet or so above ground.

If the house has a chimney , you can lash a pipe to the chimney for testing of reception.

Home Depot and Lowes have , Top Rail , chain link fence pipe , 10 foot lengths , makes good antenna mast.

And the mast pipe and DB8e antenna can be moved around to find a location with the best reception.

For Testing of reception , use a New Continues length of coax connected to the DB8e antenna and run the New Continues length of coax through a open door or window direct to 1 Tv.

The reception signal strengths are moderate strong at your reception location and a antenna system amplifier will most likely not be required.

When you find a good location of the antenna for reception.

Then for 1 Tv connected use No splitter.

For 2 Tv's connected use a simple common 2 way splitter.

For 3 Tv's connected use a simple common 3 way splitter.
