Low mountain?

[terrybaz]

My analysis shows that I should easily be able to pick up the local channels. The problem is that there is a low mountain between me and the towers. So, distance isn't a problem and even though I live in a major city, Phoenix, wouldn't the mountains block some of the signals? I am in a sort of valley and until recently had problems with cell reception. Should I look for a satellite dish?

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

It is best install the HD7698P antenna at a location that has the least amount to no amount of obstructions of any type or kind in the direction of reception.

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

DO NOT channel scan for cable tv channels.
