Due to the Very Weak Signal Strengths and local reception conditions , mountains.
And trees blocking or not blocking reception.
The listed tvfool signal strengths can be the , same as listed , better then listed , worse then listed.
If you decided to Test reception.
As a Test of reception I recommend install a.
http://www.antennacraft.net.
Y10-7-13 , VHF high band channels 7 thru 13 antenna , aimed at about 311 degree magnetic compass direction.
----------------
Here is how to aim antennas.
http://www.kyes.com/antenna/pointing/pointing.html.
Use a Real and actual magnetic compass to aim antenna , do not trust a , cell phone , tablet and etc. compass.
---------------
It can also help reception to tilt the antenna up so the front of the antenna is aimed at the top of the ridge of the mountain in the direction of reception.
---------------
The 2 Digital Broadcast Tv Stations/Channels you are Testing to receive are.
WBNG-TV , Real VHF high band channel 7 , CBS and CW.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WBNG-TV
WICZ-DT , Real VHF high band channel 8 , FOX and MyNetwork.
http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/WICZ-TV.
--------------
Install a ,
http://www.kitztech.com.
Model KT-200-COAX TV Antenna Booster , Remote Power Coax Fed.
If the amplifier unit is installed outside close to the antenna , directly exposed to the weather/water , the amplifier unit will need to be put up inside of a protective box , so as to keep the weather/water off of the amplifier unit.
The coaxes will go up into and out of the box from the bottom of the box , the amplifier unit will be up inside the box , protected from weather/water.
The amplifier unit can also be inside the building , not inside of a box.
--------------
As a Test of reception , I recommend install the antenna at no less then 40 feet above ground. And higher is better.
As a Test of reception here is a 10 foot tripod antenna mount that is placed above the roof.
http://www.ronard.com/712.html. Ronard(712-50-10) , 10 foot tripod antenna mount.
Do not put holes in the roof , bolt the tripod in place , until Testing is completed and reception is happening.
Do not allow the wind to blow the tripod and antenna mast pipe and antenna over , when the antenna hits the ground the antenna will be damaged.
-------
Home Depot has , 10 foot 6 inch lengths , 1 and 3/8 inch diameter , TOP RAIL , chain link fence , PIPE , that makes excellent antenna mast/pipe , the price is low at about 12 dollars.
The 10 foot sections can be put together to have the antenna higher , as a Test of reception.
--------------
Use all New Coax to connect all up.
As temporary connections , the New coax can be run through a open window or door to the Tv location.
------------------------------
Tvfool lists 2 more Tv stations that are both the same Network.
W51BN-D , Real UHF channel 39.
W25DY-D , Real UHF channel 25.
http://www.rabbitears.info/market.ph...ility_id=31642.
and
http://www.global-cm.net/TV%20NY.pdf.
Shows the Network as , Catskill Television Network.
The Tv transmitters , may or may not be transmitting.
I will say the transmitters are not transmitting because the ownership situation and Network information is on the if'y side.
If you like you can do research to discover whats up with the situation.
W51BN and W25DY , are in the -->Opposite Direction<-- of WBNG and WICZ.
W51BN and W25DY , are UHF Tv channels and will require a UHF antenna to receive.
If the transmitters are transmitting , a , Antennas Direct , DB8e , current UHF channels 14 thru 51 antenna can be installed and aimed at about 112 degree magnetic compass direction.
The Y10-7-13 antenna can be disconnected from the preamp and the the DB8e antenna will be connected as a Test of reception.
