antenna advice please

Here's my report...

http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...1dda730aa90ecc

I'm mostly interested in the stations to the southeast, south and southwest. Also, I have 2 existing dishes that I'm not using. Can I use one of those to mount my antenna and if so, any advice on the best way?

Thanks.

The tvfool radar plot report you posted has no antenna height feet above ground.

Do not delete the tvfool radar plot report with no antenna height feet above ground.

And.

Please make a second tvfool radar plot report with antenna height at 25 feet above ground.

A simple reception situation that will receive , many , many , many , many , Digital Broadcast Tv stations/channels.

Above the Peak Of the Roof in such a manner that reception is not blocked by the roof and house in the directions of , east south east , south , south west , north west , install a Antennas Direct , Clear Stream 2 Complete Uhf/Vhf antenna aimed at about 155 degree magnetic compass direction.

Here is how to aim antennas , http://www.kyes.cm/antenna/pointing/pointing.html.

http://www.antennasdirect.com/store/...VHF-Combo.html.

The CS2 Complete comes with a , J type antenna mount.

Remove the reflector screen from the CS2 Complete antenna and the CS2 Complete antenna will receive at the front and back of the antenna , for even more Digital Tv stations/channels to receive.

The reflector screen is not the UHF reception loops.

The reflector screen is not the VHF reception rods.

The reflector screen is the screen , remove the reflector screen.

_________________

Also install a Antennas Direct CPA-19 preamp.

____

For 1 Tv connected use No splitter.

For 2 Tv's connected use a , HFS-2D , 2 way splitter.

For 3 Tv's connected use a , HFS-3D , 3 way splitter.

For 4 Tv's connected use a HFS-4D , 4 way splitter.

Buy the HFS splitters at , http://www.solidsignal.com , or , http://www.hollandelectronics.com.

_____

Here are places to buy antennas and etc..

http://www.solidsignal.com , http://www.amazon.com.

__________

As always , trees and tree leaves , plants and plant leaves , do a good job of , absorbing , multi-path reflecting , blocking , Digital Broadcast Tv reception and so do buildings and other obstructions including your own roof and house.

It is best to install the CS2 Complete 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 roof and house.

The Tv's Must Channel Scan for the 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 Tv Setup Menu and select, 'Air Channels' / 'Antenna Channels'.
