Antenna system number 1.

The East group of Digital Tv stations/channels has PBS , the South group does not.

I recommend reception of the East group. To start with.

Install a Antennas Direct DB4e antenna with a Antennas Direct CPA-19 preamp aimed at about 105 degree magnetic compass direction.

Here is how to aim antennas , http://www.kyes.com/antenna/pointing/pointing.html.

For 1 Tv connected use no splitter.

For 2 Tv's connected use a , HFS-2D , 2 way splitter.

For 3 Tv's connected use a , HFS-3D , 3 way splitter.

Buy the HFS splitters at , http://www.hollandelectronics.com , or , http://www.solidsignal.com

Here are some above the roof antenna mounts , http://www.ronard.com/909911.html , http://www.ronard.com/34424560.html , http://www.ronard.com/ychim.html , http://www.ronard.com.

Buy the ronard antenna mounts at solidsignal by typing the word ronard in the solidsignal search box.

It is best to install a antenna at a location that has the least amount to no amount of obstructions of any type or kind in the directions of reception.

The Tv/s Must Channel Scan for the Broadcast Tv Channels , some times named the 'Air Channels' or 'Antenna Channels' in the Tv setup menu because the Tv transmissions travel through the air from the transmitting antenna to the receiving antenna.

DO NOT channel scan for cable tv channels.

Above the roof install a Winegard HD7698P antenna with a Antennas Direct preamp aimed at about , 180 degree magnetic compass direction.

_______________________________

Antenna systems 1 and 2 are SEPARATE antenna systems and Are Not connected on to one coax.

The 2 Separate systems are separate All the way to Tv/s locations where the separate system coaxes are connected to a Remote control A/B antenna switch at each Tv location.
http://www.radioshack.com , #15-1968 , or , http://www.mcmelectronics.com , #32-4425.

Remote control A/B antenna switching is , Channel Surfing Friendly , press the button on the hand held remote control , change antennas and keep on channel surfing.

So y'all are recommending a Winegard HD 7698P over the Channel Master 2020 ? Why ? It's only rated 10 more miles (70) than the Channel Master 2020 , which is far less (Around 40 dollars at some places).

Also, the VIP 722 scans the locals for us. I would be interested in picking up only one set (Seeing as they are all affiliations and would carry everything the same besides local news). However, KLTV is where we watch the news at. Other than that, I don't care which set of locals. I think KLTV would come in fine if I pointed the antenna towards the Shrevport (East) locals, assuming that the Winegard or Channel Master is like the RCA one I still picked up KLTV pointing towards the East at about 85 signal strength, and usually 100% towards the south.
