Hi, Dan:

Your report link doesn't work. You left out the ? after com/. Better to copy and paste rather than retype it. And you need to left click on the Link icon at the top of the text box to create an active link in your post.

Is this correct? (report #1)

That report is only resolved to block level. To best help you with the signals you want, we really need a more accurate report using an exact address which will not show in the report.

I see you have a previous thread that gives more info. (TimN and Danske are the same)
Which Antenna?
http://forum.tvfool.com/showthread.php?t=15262

In that thread you give three reports.

street level (report #2, probably not accurate)
http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...2c15f71cf3e3d2

coordinates at 15 feet (#3)

coordinates at 25 feet (#4)
http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...2c152def1d70f8

Which one is the most accurate?

What antenna is your neighbor using, and where is it located?

Are you using a preamp?

WTHR is on real channel 13, which is a VHF-High channel. The "V" dipole of the C4V doesn't have enough gain for that weak signal with a NM of -2.8 dB on your first report, -5.8 dB on your 3rd report, and 0.0 dB on the 4th report.

WISH is also a VHF-High channel on real channel 9.

You can try a VHF-High antenna in the attic and combine it with the C4, but you might have to go outside.

You might have to decide which is more important to you; what the neighbors think of you, or the channels you want.

What you really need is a Winegard HD7698P on the roof and a preamp, but we can suggest some attic experiments to try first.

Any trees in the signal path to the NNW?

How long is the coax to the TV?

How many TVs are you feeding?
