If the higher location puts the antenna behind a more dense tree obstruction, for example, then the higher location probably won't help. There's also the possibility of a favorable ground bounce providing additional signal for a low-mounted antenna, but that phenomenon isn't likely to occur in a residential area.
I see. I had no idea it was so complicated. I'm not giving up yet. That's why I have a Hulu subscription and use services like PlayOn. If I can't watch my shows the same night I can catch them the next day.

What do you think about rickbb's suggestion about removing the reflector? Since I have stations coming in from nearly opposite directions, might that make the antenna less directional?
