Old tvfool report using provided coordinates.

The following recommendation is updated to reflect the new tvfool report below.

For reception of the Canada Digital Tv stations/channels and USA Digital PBS.

Install a Antennas Direct - Clear Stream 2 UHF/VHF , http://www.antennasdirect.com/store/...VHF-Combo.html , antenna with a Antennas Direct CPA-19 preamp aimed at about 140 degree magnetic compass direction.

Remove the Reflector Screen from the CS2V antenna and the CS2V will receive 2 directions , the Canada and USA Digital Tv stations/channels.

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

The CS2V antenna will be installed above the roof in such a manner that the roof and building are not blocking reception to the , south east , north west.

Some common antenna mounts are , tripod antenna mount , eave antenna mount , chimney antenna mount.

Here are some places to buy antennas and etc. , http://www.saveandreplay.com , http://www.trentondistributors.com , http://www.amazon.ca , http://www.amazon.com , http://www.winegarddirect.com.

_____________________________

For 1 Tv connected use no splitter.

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

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

Buy the HFS splitters at , http://www.solidsignal.com or http://www.hollandelectronics.com

As always , trees and tree leaves do a real fine job of reducing or blocking Digital Tv reception and so do buildings and other obstructions including the Condo building.

It is best to install antenna/s at a location that has the least amount to no amount of obstructions of any type or kind in the directions of reception including the Condo building.

The Tv/s Must Channel Scan for the Digital Broadcast Tv Channels , sometimes named the 'Air Channels' or 'Antenna Channels' in the Tv setup nenu because the Tv transmissions travel through the air from the transmitting antenna to the receiving antenna.

DO NOT channel scan for cable tv channels.
