Help with antenna setup in Windsor, Ontario

Hello,

I'm looking for some advice on setting up an antenna in Windsor, Ontario.

My TV Fool: http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...ec2f6ebc494624

I'd like to be able to get CKCO #42 and CIII #22 and CBET #9 plus the Detroit stations. The house is a brand new 2-storey and the antenna will feed a single HDHomeRun receiver in the basement (about 40 feet away).

Thanks,

Know this.

As always , trees and tree leaves , plants and plant leaves , have a Negative Effect on Broadcast Tv Reception and so do buildings and other obstructions including your own , attic , roof , building.

Some and not all Negative Effects are.

Absorbing and Blocking Reception.

The Best Practice for Reliable Reception is to install the antenna at a location that has the least amount to no amount of obstructions of any type or kind in the directions of reception including your own , attic , roof , building.
