Be advised that both WCBS out of NYC and WSFB in hartford operate on real channel 33, so it will be impossible to receive both at the same time. If the antenna is situated so that both signals are received, you will likely get neither of them as they will interfere with each other. This is due to the channels "short-spacing" that leaves your area in the overlap zone.

Similarly, WTIC is short-spaced with WPXN out of NYC on UHF channel 31.

WCBS operates a UHF 22 translator on Long Island which is short spaced with WEPT-CD out of Albany and also WGBY out of Springfield MA. That's two opportunities for destructive interference.

The only real solution is to use some combination of antenna selection, placement, and aiming that best maximizes one desired signal while simultaneously minimizing the other. Sometimes, there is no viable solution.
