Thank you for your kind words; sometimes I can help and sometimes not. I too get frustrated if I am not able to help.

Thanks for the image with the green lines. It does look like the trees might be a problem.

The red dot on the roof is exactly where I placed my outdoor antenna. If you zoom the picture, you can actually see the antenna there. I pretty much used the old dish network pole that was there with the house. I just removed the dish and replaced it with my antenna.
I can't see the antenna or the pole, but I will assume it is where the marker is located.

The trees that blocked most of the signal are the trees across the freeway. Nothing I can do about it I guess.
I see trees across the freeway, trees on your side of the freeway, and trees behind your house. Also, the channels you want are not all in the same direction, so you need more than one clear path through the trees.



Looking SSW:

I think you need to get your antenna higher.

We still don't know what your antenna looks like, so it is impossible to make a suggestion about a better antenna.

Can you show us a picture of your antenna, or as second best maybe give us a link to one that looks like it?
