Does WPVI (ch 6.x) come in?

Yes. WPVI comes in with very good to 100% signal depending on antenna position.



Maybe. It depends on what, specifically you've asked for.

I am asking what can I do do get more channels that are shown in my TV Fool report.



That means that the tuner detected something on that channel, but the signal is too weak or distorted to actually decode the data.

Right. Is there anything I can do to help pull it in those signals since it is being detected?



Are they in the signal path?

There is one tree in front of the antenna about 20 feet away. When I first put up the antenna about 1.5 months ago there were leaves on it.Now there are none.However, I was getting the same stations as I am now. The other trees are much larger but not as close to the antenna.



Intermittent reception of more distant signals is not unusual during certain kinds of weather. Such propagation usually lasts up to a few hours or a day but usually won't be reliable.

It was fairly reliable when I had the antenna to the south. Though, for some strange reason on the weekends it was sometimes an issue getting the signal at all.



Give it a shot if it's within your capability.
It shouldn't be a problem.

Can an antenna be too high? It seems that the CBS 21 in Harrisburg was easier to pick up when the antenna was a little lower. However, I have moved that thing up and down and rotated it so many times I lost track of everything.
