Make a radar plot with your exact address , if exact address does not work the use the >>Start MAPS<< part of tvfool , move the pointer to your location and make the radar plot that way. Also enter the antenna height. How many Tv's will be connected??

I recommend a Winegard HD7698P antenna aimed at about 145 degree magnetic compass , Columbus OH. And a ChannelMaster CM3412 distribution amplifier. Here is how to aim antennas , http://www.kyes.com/antenna/pointing/pointing.html. Here are places to buy antennas and etc. , http://www.solidsignal.com , http://www.amazon.com , http://www.starkelectronic.com , http://www.3starinc.com.

Install new RG-6 coax cable on the outside of the house from the antenna.
