For reception of , Many , many , many , many , many , many , many , many , many , many , many , Digital Tv stations channels , the groups of Digital Broadcast Tv stations/channels to the west and east with one antenna aimed one direction.

Install a Winegard HD7084P antenna with a Winegard HDP-269 preamp aimed at about 283 degree magnetic compass direction.

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

Here are some Strong and Sturdy antenna mounts.

http://www.ronard.com/34424560.html. install the #4560 eave antenna mount.

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

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

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

____________________

If installing on the building , Install HD7084P antenna Above The Roof in such a manner that the roof and building are not blocking reception to the , west , east , north east.

As always trees and tree leaves do a good job of , multipath/reflecting , absorbing , blocking , OTA=Over The Air , Digital Broadcast Tv reception and so do buildings and other obstructions including your own roof and building.

It is best to install the HD7084P 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 building.

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'.
