Use the digiawave to receive the American channels at about 130 magnetic compass. The American channels are more distance away and are not as strong. When the antenna is up higher , the reception is improved.

The higher the antenna is , the better the reception will be. . I suggest a Antennas Direct 91XG uhf Tv antenna with a Winegard 4700 preamp pointed at the American stations. . The higher a Tv antenna is the better the reception will be. . Outdoor type Tv antennas Like breathing room , no obstructions in the way of the front of the antenna. Tv antennas Like a clear shot at the Tv transmitters.
