Update - I have the U8000 up on the mast pointed right around 350 degrees. I am pulling in stations from the North (Tampa) and stations from the south (Ft Myers).
I scanned and the total was 25 digital and 3 air (not sure what the air ones are and deleted them after looking to see what was on them).
Thanks everyone for your suggestions and help!!

So the problem was with an old piece of coax between the TV and the barrel connector? Not to rub it in but that was the first question GUM asked back on page 2. Glad to hear you got it sorted out and that you're getting good reception in both directions. Enjoy your FREE TV!!
