Note the antenna is not amplified.
8.1 WTNH-DT - ABC (Real Channel 10)
8.2 Bounce
43.1 WSAH-DT (Real Channel 42)
43.2 WSAH-2
59.1 WCTX-DT - MyNetworkTV (Real Channel 39)
59.2 Cool-TV
65.1 WEDY-1 - PBS (Real Channel 6)
65.2 WEDY-2
65.3 WEDY-3
65.4 WEDY-4

It would appear I would need to use some sort of an amplifier to possibly pull in the channels further away, in the Hartford area. Would a pre-amplifier like a Channel Master CM7777 or a Winegard AP8700 help pull in the distance stations/channels? Or is using a distribution amplifier like the ChannelMaster CM3412 distribution amplifier or CM3414 distribution amplifier be a better solution than the pre-amplifier?
When you started this thread, you were receiving five channels. Now you are receiving four. That is not progress.
