Amplifiers Are Not the automatic answer to all reception situations.

WFMZ-TV REAL UHF digital channel 46 , virtual number (69.1) Independent Tv station.

Along with.

WBPH-TV REAL VHF digital channel 9 , virtual number (60.1) Independent Tv station.

WLVT-DT REAL UHF digital channel 39 , virtual number (39.1) PBS.

Are being received at a back angle to the HD7084P antenna.

This means that the - very directional in the forward direction - HD7084P antenna is not doing all that good of job of receiving the weaker digital Tv transmissions to the north east.


The HD7084P antenna along with other directional antennas receive the best at the front and front angles to the antenna.

__________

The - wind issue - has to do with reflected signals off of the trees (multipath).

Tv transmissions are reflected off of trees , the shifting of the trees in the wind causes shifting multipath.

Digital Broadcast Tv tuners can cope with and correct some multipath in the computer circuits of the tuner.

However , at some point the computer in the tuner will not be able to correct.

___________

The starting aim direction of a antenna is the -->starting aim direction of the antenna.

Try adjusting the aim direction of the antenna so the Tv transmissions are received at a different back or back angle to the HD7084P antenna with out loosing the reception of the Tv stations to the front of the antenna.

____________________________________

And yes you can try a second amplifier , But know this , making the signal stronger will also make the reflected signals stronger.

If the reception situation is not resolvable by HD7084P antenna aim adjustment , then will most likely be required to install a second antenna system that Is Not connected to the to the first antenna system.

That is aimed at the Tv transmitters to the , north east.

WFMZ. , WBPH. , WLVT.

If that is what it comes to , then I recommend a Winegard HD7696P antenna with No preamplifier aimed at about 32 degree magnetic compass direction.

For 1 Tv connected use No splitter.

For 2 Tv's connected use a simple common 2 way splitter.

For 3 Tv's connected use a simple common 3 way splitter.


The 2 antenna systems Will Be Separate all the way to the Tv locations where a Remote control A/B antenna switch will be connected.

A/B antenna switching Is Channel Surfing Friendly , press the button on the hand held remote control , Change Antennas and Keep On Channel Surfing.
