Greetings Ruthann,

You've come to the right place to decipher your report!

You'll notice yellow and red shaded signals. These are moderate signals and weak to very weak signals. This means you aren't a candidate for an old fashioned rabbit ears on top of your TV. To have successful reception of the major commercial networks you will have to mount your antenna on your roof.

This also means two separate antennas. In broadcast television there are 3 bands: low-VHF (real channels 2-6), high-VHF (real channels 7-13) and UHF (real channels 14 and up). You have high-VHF and UHF signals present.

The Erie stations are going to be your best bet at magnetic heading 61/63.

If were installing at your location I would utilize a chimney mount or tripod mount on your roof.

The antennas would be:
Antenna 1 (UHF): Antennas Direct DB8e. Aim both panelts to magnetic 62. This antenna will handle ABC, CBS, FOX and PBS.
Antenna 2 (VHF): Antennacraft Y10713. Aim at magnetic 63. This will be responsible for NBC.

How many TVs would you like to be connected to your antenna feed? This question is important because it at this point how you answer the question will determine what additional components are suggested for your situation.

Cheers.
