The provided tvfool report is the default 10 feet antenna height.

The reception is not so strong signal strength at 10 feet antenna height.

I reverse engineered a tvfool report to close , a few houses , of your location.

And at the , Reference antenna height of 25 feet above ground , the signal strengths improve , so that 1 smaller antenna will receive , Many , many , many , many , Digital Broadcast Tv stations/channels.

Above the Peak of the Roof in such a manner that the roof and house are not impeding or blocking , OTA=Over The Air , Digital Broadcast Tv reception to the Main Groups of transmitters to the , South East , South , South West.

Install a Antennas Direct , ClearStream 2 Complete Uhf/Vhf antenna.

http://www.antennasdirect.com/store/...-Complete.html.

Aim the CS2 Complete antenna at about 180 degrees magnetic compass direction. South.

Here is how to aim antennas , http://www.kyes.com/antenna/pointing/pointing.html.

Install the CS2 Complete antenna UP High above the ground , not , down low close to the ground.

The CS2 Complete comes with , J type antenna mount that has a single flat foot mount.

This flat foot mount is Very Strong when Strong Sturdy Screws are used.

If using lag screws , recommend do not use the lag screws that have the shallow threads.

Use screws that have deep threads.

It is not the length of the screw , it is the depth of the thread.

If your house has eaves along the edges of the roof , the flat foot of the mount can be mounted on to the eave.

Here is a picture of what eaves look like , http://www.ronard.com/34424560.html.

Or can buy the CS2 Complete antenna that does not come with the J type antenna mount and use the ronard eave antenna mount.

If using the eave antenna mount then use the , ronard (4560) , eave mount.

Buy the ronard eave antenna mount at solidsignal by typing , ronard (4560) , in the solidsignal search box or buy from ronard.

___________________________

Install a Winegard , LNA-100 'Boost' , antenna system amplifier.

___________________________

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.

For 4 Tv's connected use a simple common 4 way splitter.

_____________________________________

As always , trees and tree leaves , plants and plant leaves , have a Negative effect on Broadcast Tv reception and so do buildings including your own roof and house and other obstructions.

The Best Practice is to install the CS2 Complete antenna at a location that has the least amount to no amount of obstructions of any type or kind in the directions of reception including your own roof and house.

The Tv's Must Channel Scan for The 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 channels 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'.

Scan for channels.
