thank you for all help..this site is awesome.

If your home has standard shingles and no metal backed insulation. Install a Winegard HD7015 all channel antenna in your attic aimed to 158 degrees magnetic. If reception is effected by the pines you could move the antenna outdoors for a 50 to 100% increase in signal.

Tv Reception.
 

For best reception install a Winegard HD7082P antenna above the roof aimed at about 180 degree magnetic compass direction.

The HD7082P antenna is a Strong Heavy Duty antenna that will last a long time outside.

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

The Tv transmissions are Strong at your location, try reception with No antenna amplifier.

Reason: An amplifier can make reception worse where there is strong signals and many reflections , like off of trees , the amplifier also amplifies the many signal reflections (multi path) and this causes the Tv tuner to Overload with Multi Path signals and bad reception or no reception is the result.

For 1 Tv connection 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.

Replace all outside coax with new RG-6 coax.

Here are some Strong 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.

Here are places to buy antennas and etc. , http://www.solidsignal.com , http://www.winegarddirect.com , http://www.amazon.com.


As always trees and tree leaves do a great job of reducing or blocking reception.

Locate the antenna where there is the least amount or no trees in the way of reception to the , south east , south , south west.

The Tv's Must Channel Scan for the Digital Broadcast Tv Channels sometimes named the 'Air Channels' or 'Antenna Channels' in the Tv setup menu because the Tv transmissions travel through the air from the transmitting antenna to the receiving antenna.

i really do not want to use outside..can u gauge how bad it will bad for my location..thxs

Because we can't see the attic/roof construction it's not reasonable for us to give you a definitive number. If you're lucky, you may only loose half the signal power and not be troubled by multipath symptoms. If the attic/roof is like some, you might not see any usable signals. The range is that extreme.

Given your specification, "would like all channels possible", use the largest antenna you can fit into the available space. The Winegard antennas are well built, but they can be very difficult to re-fold if you find the need to remove them from an attic. Antennacraft and Channel Master products are another choice that can be used if you would like to avoid the risk of an antenna trapped in the attic.

Tv Reception.
 

Your location has receivable Digital tv stations/channels in All 3 Tv bands.

For this new location the Tv stations are far away and weak signal strength.

A Winegrd HD7698P antenna with a Winegard AP8700 preamp aimed at about 20 degree magnetic compass direction.

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

Might get reliable reception of ,

W45CP-D Real channel UHF 45 , Religion.

WABC-Tv Real channel VHF 7 , ABC.

if there are No trees or tree leaves or buildings or other obstructions in the direction of reception.
