I live in middle TN & about 40miles from Nashville, which is where most of broadcast stations are located.
Here's my report:

As with most, I'm trying to move away from sat tv to OTA programming. I could honestly care less about getting ALL possible channels. I just want to get ABC/NBC/CBS(important)/ & Fox (important)....rest are just icing on the cake.
Here's what I have:
- Antennas Direct 91XG UHF TV Antenna
- CM7777 pre-amp
I've put it in my attic mounted to a pvc pipe. I've been able to EASILY get roughly 20-25channels at a time. ABC always comes in clear as does (fox at some positions). I'm having a hell of a time getting CBS/NBC to come in. Can anyone look at my report & my setup & let me know if it's my setup or just possibly my location or something else on my end? (i have just plastic siding on my house(besides brick only in front) (
pic of house - north side is the back of my house...so it's only going through normal wood/roofing that you see in the image)
Hopefully, I've included enough info to at least get some suggestions/ideas. Thanks guys
edit: When I said the northern side of my house was the back, this is what I see when looking from my back yard towards the north:
I've read trees do affect the signal quite a bit, and this image was taken during the Fall too. So you can imagine how much more signal blockage I'm getting. IS this probably my sole reason I'm have such a hard time finding CBS? It's really the only channel that I cannot seem to pickup. ABC/NBC(sometimes)/Fox seem to come in OK a majority of the places/direction I point my antenna.
