KOCE will be moving to real channel 18 on a sharing basis.

Your tvfool report looks good, but is only based on a zipcode, centered on the intersection of Le Grande Ln and Marea Cir, just south of Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge, so it might not represent your actual location.

92649 is a big area:



The green signal lines from the North look like they have a clear path:



Your generic FM signal report shows some strong signals from the North that might interfere with TV reception of VHF-High channels KTTV and KCOP:

KTTV and KCOP have directional antennas because they are in the Mexican Border Zone, so you don't get their full power sent in your direction.

When the signals look promising, but they are weak at the TV, I usually need to ask for more information to figure out what is going on. Maybe some photos of the antenna in its location or a closeup satellite view with the green signal lines. If that doesn't do it, sometimes it is necessary to move the antenna to a different location to find a hot spot.
