Hi jdeday,

Teleview gives you a nice one-stop approach.

If I were attempting reception of your desired signals, I may however be more aggressive. I would purchase an Antenna's Direct 91xg to concentrate on Harrisburg UHF broadcasts and orientate it towards magnetic 186

I would also purchase an Antennacraft Y10-7-13 to focus on Harrisburg VHF broadcasts and orientate it towards magnetic 186 as well.

I would install a RCA TVPRAMP1R preamplifier. Connect 91xg jumper coax to UHF/VHF combined input, and Y10-7-13 jumper coax to exclusive VHF amplifier input. Both antennas would be consolidated into one lead coming down into the house.

Harrisburg signals I'd expect to see would be: WHP, WHTM, WGAL (RF 8) and PBS WITF. WPMT is extremely weak and may not be reliable and/or decode.

For FOX affiliate service, I recommend a third antenna pointed at magnetic 74 for Scranton market service. For this, I would choose a Channel Master CM3020. I would also install a second RCA TVPRAMP1R on this antenna exclusively. Connect coax from the CM3020 to combined VHF/UHF combined amplifier input. Run coax from amplifier into home.

This would create two antenna leads coming inside your home. Inside, I would use A/B switch to switch between antenna systems for desired markets. This eliminates a need for a rotor system.

In this scenario I would anticipate:
Harrisburg (antennas: 91xg/Y10-7-13): CBS, ABC, NBC and PBS
Scranton (antenna: CM3020): ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX

For mounting this set up, I would install the 91xg and Y10-7-13 (at least 4' apart) on one pole above the roof. I would choose a secondary location to mount the CM3020, preferably 20' away or farther. Another option is a 15' pole, that gives you the ability to space the antennas out a little further.

This may seem like an investment for the channels you want, however with your 2-edge conditions and weak signal strengths this aggressive set up will likely yield you all the Harrisburg signals that provide enough signal to be reliable along with secondary coverage of Scranton (and FOX).

Best of luck!
