Moving the antenna to above the roof will improve reception.

Above the roof aim the ANT751 at about 280 degree magnetic compass reading.

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

Here are some above the roof antenna mounts , http://www.ronard.com/909911.html , http://www.ronard.com/34424560.html , http://www.ronard.com/ychim.html , http://www.ronard.com.

Buy the ronard antenna mounts at solidsignal by typing the word ronard in the solidsignal search box.

For more improvement of reception install a second ANT751 antenna aimed at about 215 degree magnetic compass reading.

And aim the first antenna at about 324 degree magnetic compass reading.

The 2 antennas Will Not be connected to gather on to one coax.

The 2 separate antenna and separate coaxes will go to the Tv location and be connected to a remote control A/B antenna switch.

I'm not really planning install second ant751, I just want to receive as many channel as possible with out moving the antenna to the roof, its very high and don't have ladder.
So if I keep my antenna located at the attic the way it is and move it to the 270 degrees do you thing I can get more channel????? Thanks for your help.

As always the antenna can be turned and moved to find the place of better reception.
