Update
I know this is an older thread but I have been living with so so reception and if it is going to storm outside the reception gets worse. I believe my major issue could be the woods that is behind our house and our neighbor houses. I would say the woods starts about 75 feet away from the antenna. The antenna points at the woods.
Right now I have a HBU-44 pointed south east. I have it on a 10 foot mast on a gable eve mount. Mast and coax is both grounded before entering the house. The signal is split right after it enters the house with a Channel Master CM 3412 2-Port Ultra Mini Distribution Amplifier. I am running 2 HD tvs.
So 13 and 8 35 (pbs) are typically really good. 3 can be in and out but pretty solid on the best days. 17 (fox) is only useful on the very best days. 17 should be solid all the time.
Tell me if I am on the right track but I think I need to try relocating the antenna left a few inches to see if it helps. Also may even try to lower it just to see if reception improves. I really can't go any higher with out a tower. This may be somewhat difficult seeing how it is an gable eve mount.
