As always trees and tree leaves do a good job of , multipath/reflecting , absorbing , blocking , OTA= Over The Air , Digital Broadcast Tv reception and so do buildings and other obstructions including your own roof and building.

It is best install the HD7698P antenna at a location the has the least amount to no amount of obstructions of any type or kind in the direction of reception including your own roof and building.

The direction of reception at your location is , north west / west.

The Tv's Must Channel Scan for the Digital Broadcast Tv Channels , often 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.

Some Digital Tv's will automatic channel scan for cable tv channels.

DO NOT channel scan for cable tv channels.

Go into the Tv Setup Menu and select , 'Air Channels' / 'Antenna Channels.
