The interference produced by moving vegetation can be nearly impossible to overcome by anything less than a chainsaw or tower. In my case, I'm still looking at trees when 90' up.
Most of the RS amplifiers gain is matched by the noise they produce... Consider an RCA TVPRAMP1R.

I understood that the trees would be difficult to overcome, I guess I just assumed that with a better antenna I'd at least get somewhat better signal. Te signal is about the same as with the old antenna, but overall, I think it's worse because with the HDX1000 I was getting signals from both providence and boston, all be it, not many would be reliable. With this one, I only pickup the channels to which I aim it, and according to my Tivo, right around 50%.
Would it be advantageous to maybe aim it up? I mean above the treeline, Angle it up in the front...Would that help? Or does it need to be level?
I'm going try moving it to different spots on the roof, but There is no where I can get a clearing in the trees on the whole NE-SE side of my house.
