Trouble receiving ABC

[Eaglebox]

I have recently purchased the Antennacraft HDView360 antenna. I am able to pick up NBC, CBS, FOX, IPTV, and CW from Des Moines, which is 65 miles away. My TV fool report says I should be able to get ABC too, but I can't. Help!

The HDView360 would not be my antenna of choice in the situation you face.

I would consider antennas such as the Antennacraft HD1850, Channel Master CM-3671 and Winegard HD7084P. These larger antennas would give you a decent chance at reception of a Low-VHF signal such as WOI, real CH-5.

The Current Broadcast Tv stations channels that are transmitted and received in the , USA , Canada , Mexico , are ,

VHF low band channels 2 thru 6.

VHF high band channels 7 thru 13.

UHF band channels 14 thru 51.

Your location has receivable broadcast Tv channels in All 3 Tv Bands.

The reception signal strengths of the Tv stations/channels at your location are , Low Signal Strengths and far away 65 plus + miles.

Install a Large ALL Channel Broadcast Tv Antenna above the roof in such a manner that the roof and building are not impeding and obstructing and blocking reception in the direction of , East.

Install a Winegard HD7084P antenna aimed at about 104 degree magnetic compass direction.

As always , trees and tree leaves , plants and plant leaves , have a Negative effect on broadcast Tv reception and so do buildings and other obstructions in the directions of reception including your own roof and house.

The Best Practice is to install a antenna at a location that has the least amount to no amount of obstructions in the directions of reception including your own roof and house.

Thanks. I will just have to deal with no ABC. I am in an apartment, so those other antennas won't work for me (can't mount anything). The HDView 360 is good for me because I can just set it on the balcony. Oh well.
