Tv Reception.

There is a problem causer for your reception location and that is , WTIU-DT channel 14 PBS , the signal strength is , Over The Top Strong , it is high lighted red , Pwr(dbm) -9.7 and 81.2 NM (dB).

Using a preamplifier for reception of the - Many other weak signal strength Tv stations/channels - is contra indicated because the over the top strong signal strength will over load a preamplifier and be the cause of bad or no reception of several channels.

The simplest way , but not the only way , to deal with the issue is to install a long range antenna , A Winegard HD7698P antenna with - NO Preamplifier - aimed away from WTIU.

The group of weak signal strength Tv stations/channels at about 22 degree magnetic compass , is a convienet way to do this because the antenna needs to be aimed at that group to get stronger reception of those weak signal strength Tv stations/channels.

This situation also means that the very directional HD7698P antenna will most likely not receive the any of the Terre Haute or Louisville Tv stations/channels.

A second antenna will be required to be installed , more about that later.

If you do not have a Strong and Sturdy antenna mount.

Install a Strong and Sturdy antenna mount above the roof , here are some Strong and Sturdy antenna mounts.
