All provided tvfool radar reports are at the default 10 feet above ground antenna height.

I suppect that installing a Channel Master CM4228HD UHF/VHF antenna higher then 10 feet above ground will increase signal strenghts , and make it possible to receive all the receivable broadcast Tv stations/channels of ,

CBS.
PBS.
NBC.
ABC.
FOX.

with the CM4228HD UHF/VHF antenna aimed 1 direction.

Above the roof in such a manner that the roof and house are not impeding and blocking reception in the directions of , North East , East , South East , South.

Aim the CM4228HD UHF/VHF antenna at about 125 degree magnetic compass direction.

125 degree magnetic compass direction is a in between aim direction of the receivable Tv stations locations.

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

Use a Old School magnetic compass to aim antenna with.

As always , trees and tree leaves , plants and plant leaves , have a Negative effect on reception in directions of reception and so do buildings and other obstructions including your own roof and house.

The Best Practice is to install the CM4228HD UHF/VHF antenna is at a location that has the least amount to no amount of obstructions of any type or kind in the directions of reception including your own roof and house.

The Tv/s Must Channel Scan for the , OTA=Over The Air , Digital Broadcast Tv stations channels , often 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.

Some digital tv's will Automatic channel scan for cable tv channels.

DO NOT channel scan for cable tv channels.

Go into the Tv Setup Menu and select , 'Air Channels' ~ 'Antenna Channels'.

Scan for channels.

As always , the starting antenna aim direction is the --> starting antenna aim direction.
The antenna aim direction is adjusted for best reception.

Most Digital Tv's have a Signal Strength Meter and some Digital Tv's also have a Signal Quality Meter.

______________________

If the CM4228HD UHF/VHF antenna does not receive all the receivable Tv stations/channels.

A second antenna can be installed.

Aim the CM4228HD UHF/VHF antenna at about 172 degree magnetic compass direction.

And aim a second CM4228Hd UHF/VHS antenna at about 79 degree magnetic compass direction.

Use a Winegard 7870 , transformer type isolation coupler combiner to connect the 2 CM4228HD antennas to 1 down lead.

Connect the CM7778 preamplifier to the output of the Winegard 7870.
