A Simple reception situation.

Above the Peak of the Roof in such a manner that reception is not , obstructed , impeded , blocked , buy the roof and building in the directions of reception , West , North West , North , North East , East , South East.

Install a , http://www.antennacraft.net.

HBU11K antenna aimed at about 284 degree magnetic compass direction.

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

Use a Real and Actual magnetic compass to aim antenna , do not trust a cell phone compass.

---------------------

Install a , Levtion , 47690-6 , 6 way splitter.

---------------------

Before the input of the splitter install a , Winegard , LNA-100 Boost amplifier.

---------------------

Here are some places to buy antennas and etc. .

---------------------

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 including your own roof and building.

Some and not all Negative Effects are.

Absorbing and blocking reception.

Multi-Path Reflecting Tv Signals Bouncing All Around.

The Best Practice for Reliable Reception is to install the , HBU11K 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 , ATSC-Digital Broadcast Tv Stations/Channels , often named the ~ Antenna Channels ~ ATSC Channels ~ DTV Channels ~ Air Channels ~ in the Tv Setup Menu.

DO NOT channel scan for cable tv channels.

DO NOT channel scan for only Analog channels.

I have setup the recommended equipment. only thing that is different is i went with the HBU22.

I am only recieving 2 channels on one tv. I can get 6 channels on a different tv. Does that seem low? I was hoping to get a few more than that.

Anything that i can check that might be hindering my reception? I do have some trees to my west. here is the signal analysis again.
