WCBS is also transmitted from a repeater transmitter , UHF channel 22 , at 189 degree magnetic compass direction.

Thanks for that. I was aware there was a CBS feed @ 189 however I was not sure if it was actually the same broadcasts as WCBS. I know from inside my second floor with half of the DB8 (DB4 I guess technically) I was able to pick that up depending where I moved the antenna. Thats with a short 6 ft cable directly to my tv tuner along with a powered splitter I ran it through which is I think 10db gain. thing is my DB8 on the roof 3 ft East of where the DB4 was indoors could not pick it up. Strange but if I had the DB4 directly behind where my outside mast was it wouldnt get it but if I moved it West 3 feet It got good reception. Maybe I need to move the mast. Regarding the channels I would love to get CW out of new york or hartford. The only thing I really want is CBS feed out of NY and not Hartford. Not sure if I can pick and choose. I thought of an AV switch but I was not sure how I would have to rescan whenever I wanted to catch New york. ..... choices choices..... I think Hartford would give me more useable channels. I am still considerin maybe doing a stacked yagi type antenna for NY or a large UHF/VHF antenna to direct towards NY. Thanks you for the help I do appreciate it !!
