Unhappy Batesville (Arkansas) reception help needed

Just moved in to this "No Man's Land", and TVFool's coverage map shows I should have at least two free OTA channels. I use Mohu Leaf antenna (which of course was working perfect in Manhattan) which is unable to pick up any channels here. Is it just a matter of buying a better antenna to get those two channels?

Here is my reception map: http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...0559962653ba26

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Is this a , house , town home , condo , apartment , travel trailer , motor home , mobile home , or etc. ??

What directions do , windows , patios , balconies , face ??

What floor??

What is the top floor??

The provided tvfool radar map plot and channel list is the default 10 feet antenna height above ground.

To see what Tv reception signal strengths are at higher antenna heights please make and post 2 more tvfool radar map plot and channel list reports.

25 feet and 40 feet antenna heights above ground.

Thanks for the reply!

This is a town house styled apartment with two floors. I occupy both floors.

Currently the TV is placed in the living room on first floor. The Mohu leaf antenna is also on the same floor, about six feet from TV, stuck to the north wall.

The window in the living room, where the TV and antenna is, is facing West. The patio door is 8 feet from TV, facing North.

Top floor is second floor.

I do not want to relocate the TV to second floor, TV must stay in the living room on first floor.

25 feet signal report: http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...46aef75610839b

40 feet signal report: http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...46ae24094130ad

The first tvfool radar report is West of Jonesboro Arkansas.

The second a third tvfool radar reports are east of Little Rock.

Please make all the tvfool reports at the correct address.
