Your location is in the Tv signal shadow of South Mountain.
Are the houses wrapped with stucko Wire , stucko Wire makes a perfect Tv signal reflector and indoor reception will be Real Bad.
Having Tv antenna in the Tv signal reception shadow of a house that is blocking the direction to the Tv transmitters on South Mountain will also produce Bad Reception.
As a ->Test<- of reception , go to Lowes and buy a ANT751 antenna.
Also buy 6 , 5 foot sections of antenna mast pipe , install the ANT751 on the mast pipe to use as a probe.
Also buy a New loooong coax to connect to the ANT751 and run the New long coax through a open door or window , direct to 1 Tv.
No couplers , No grounding couplers , No splitters , No nothing.
The coax goes direct to the Tv.
You can probe with the antenna higher and lower above ground at locations close to your house and away from the house.
The Tv Must Channel Scan for the , OTA= Over The Air , Digital Broadcast Tv stations/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'.
