As always , trees and tree leaves do a good job of , reflecting , absorbing , blocking , Digital Broadcast Tv transmissions and so do buildings and other obstructions including your own roof and house.
It is best to install the HD7696P antenna at a location that has the least amount to no amount of obstructions of any type or kind in the direction of reception including your own roof and house.
The Tv/s Must Channel Scan for the , OTA= Over The Air , Digital Broadcast Tv stations/channels , often 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.
Some Digital Tv's will automatic channel scan for cable tv channels.
DO NOT channel scan for cable tv channels.
Go into the Digital Tv Setup Menu and select the , 'Air Channels' / 'Antenna Channels'.

If you currently have any type or kind of Active Pay cable services , be it cable tv service , cable internet service , cable phone service , the Antenna Can Not Be Connected to the the same coax that the active services are on.
Yes the coaxes that are in or on the house can be used for the antenna system.
But no active cable service such as cable internet service can be connected to the antenna system coax.
Any cable services must be connected to separate coax.
