Tv antennas and Tv reception

Looking at the second tvfool radar report of the Pending Applications Included of Only Digital Tv stations/channels , more digital broadcast tv channels should be received then the first two , WSB-TV Real digital channel 31 ABC and WGTV-DT real digital Tv channel 8 PBS will be received. Here is how to aim antennas , http://www.kyes.com/antenna/pointing/pointing.html. If no more then the first two are received then there is a problem with the antenna or the matching transformer (balun) that is attached to the antenna , the coax that goes from the matching transformer to the CPA-19 or the coax goes from the CPA-19 preamp unit close to the antenna to the CPA-19 power supply unit or the coax that goes from the power supply unit to the Tv. A way to 'prove out' the reception of the antenna the coax and the Tv is to , connect one long length of coax to the antenna Tv. One long length of coax , No splitters , No coax couplers , No preamplifier , No nothing , just one long length of coax from the antenna Direct to the Tv. Run the one length of coax through a open door , Direct to the digital Tv.
