Is WGAL 8 NBC received ? I see at the >>Start MAPS<< part of tvfool that the transmitters are very close. Is there a building or trees or something that is close to your location that can block UHF 47. The UHF channels are more easy blocked then VHF channels.
Yes, WGAL 8 is received. It is the most difficult station to receive (next to FOX) but it comes in relatively easily. Yes, the transmitters are basically right next to each other and it looks like the reception at our house is about the same for both. There are definitely some trees close to the house in that direction but since WGAL comes in so well, it seems like FOX should as well.

Tower guy - in answer to your question. Yes, I had the antenna outside and was pointing it to 110 degrees and still could not bring it in. It's just so confusing because we used to get it with the antenna in the attic.

I'm open to purchasing a new antenna and having installed as long as I *know* it's going to work. Any suggestions on an antenna type would be appreciated. It looks like height is not much of an issue for FOX as it doesn't appear to significantly increase in signal until you get beyond 100 feet or so.
