Nice report...

Point an RCA ANT-751 eastward. You'll do best with the antenna outside clear of obstructions such as trees and buildings.

A Super Simple reception situation.

Install a , www.antennacraft.net , HBU-11 above the peak of the roof in such a manner that reception is not , obstructed , impeded , blocked , by the roof and building in all directions and Many Digital Broadcast Tv stations/channels will be received.

Aim the HBU-11 at about 90 degree magnetic compass direction.

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

Use a Real and Actual magnetic compass to aim antenna.

-----

The Tv signals are very strong , a antenna system amplifier is not required.

-------

For 1 Tv connected use No splitter.

For 2 Tv's connected use a simple common 2 way splitter.

For 3 Tv's connected use a simple common 3 way splitter.

For 4 Tv's connected use a simple common 4 way splitter.

--------

Here are some places to buy antennas and etc. .

www.antennacraft.net

www.solidsignal.com

www.amazon.com

-------

The Tv/s Must Channel Scan for the , OTA=Over The Air , Digital Broadcast Tv stations:channels , often named the ~ DTV Channels ~ Antenna Channels ~ Air 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 ~ DTV Channels ~ Air Channels ~ Air Channels ~ Antenna Channels ~.

Scan for channels.
