Ideas to get westerly stations. Maybe 2nd antenna?

[Pete_lake]

Hi All:

I currently have an Antennas Direct DB4E antenna & an Antennas Direct CPA Pre-Amplifier pointed easterly and I get Boston & Rhode Island station well.

My Tivo shows the stations to the west in Hartford & Springfield but does not show up on TV (signal too weak I think). Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get the Hartford & Springfield stations too? A second antenna & combiner??

I have included my tvfool signal analysis chart here:

Any recommendations welcome

Thank you in advance for your assistance

Google couldn't find the street address entered. Use the "Online TV Maps" tool to get an accurate plot. Position the balloon directly on your rooftop, then enter an estimated antenna height above ground. Run a new plot and post its link.

Have you tried pointing the DB4e to the west and running a channel scan as a test? I'd recommend doing that first as it doesn't cost anything but some time.

Hi ADTech. I'm not sure what you mean. I have the signal analysis from the mapping tool. Is there something else you need to see ? thx

An accurate plot from an accurate location. See the warning at the top of your plot in bold then red letters? I've been doing this long enough to know that it means your location as looked up by Google's Maps is inaccurate, perhaps by a few yards, a block, or even more.

Hi ADTech

Maybe I'm missing something, but there is no other options for me in the signal analysis. I see the red letters, and I have entered my exact address. It does not provide anything better. If there is something I can do for more accurate analysis please let me know.

UPDATE: Coordinates= 42.095576,-71.934686 antenna height: 20 ft (above ground level)

Is the approximate location & signal map good enough for any ideas of what I can try?

Thank you

If Google does not have an accurate geo-coding(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geocoding) of your street address, you end up with its guess.

If its lookup of your home address is not accurate enough, you can click on their "Report map problem" link and submit a correction so future searches for your address will be correct.

Thanks Jake V.... That was what I needed. Here is the accurate plot link. thx again
