Sorry to hear you are having trouble.

I bought a compass to get the direction right.
What direction? Should be 92 degrees magnetic.

So I took the tv to the basement where all the connections come in and removed the line going into my splitter and connected directly to the tv and scanned again.
Where is the power inserter for the 7777?
Are you using any other amp besides the 7777?

I went back to my $29.00 RCA antenna (Looks like a Shark Fin) mounted on the east side of my house and picks up the Utica stations, west of me.
What direction is the RCA aimed at? Are you using an amp with the RCA antenna?

I would have thought over $200.00 worth of antenna equipment would have at least gotten me decent reception considering the antennas I am pointing at are closer than the ones in Utica
I agree. Something is obviously wrong, but I haven't figured it out yet.

Where is the 7777 mounted, near the antenna?

How long is the coax run from the antenna to the power inserter?

I wonder if the inverter is causing interference to TV reception?
