The north/north/west Tv stations/channels are just strong enough that might be received with the antenna aimed at the west/south/west Tv stations.
The HD7696P antenna must be above the roof and installed Away from the tree on the west end of the house.
Tree leaves will do a real fine job of reducing and blocking Tv reception of the north/north/west Tv stations/channels.
And that front picture of the house shows a big tree on the south side of the house , that trees leaves will do a real fine job of reducing an blocking Tv reception of the Tv stations to the west/south/west.
Looks like the best place for the antenna is the east end of the main body of the house roof area.
Or some where on the garage roof.

Is the Winegard HD8200U overkill (or is there such a thing when it comes to antennas)? Before I had any responses to my post, I came across that one and figured we would need something closer to it because of the miles between our house and the towers (particularly the UHF). The specifications on the one you recommended says 50 miles VHF 40 miles UHF ...I'm sure you know what you're talking about but am just curious are those low end estimates on the specs? Just want to make sure we do it right the first time (if possible).
Thanks again fore all of the responses!
