To have a shot at including WOCK (real CH-4) in the lineup, the Winegard HD7084P would be my choice.

With a single TV connected and a 50' or less run of RG-6, you may be able to run with no amplifier. If you prove the need, an Antennas Direct CPA-19 would be great... if you can still find one. If not, the Winegard HDP-269 would be a good option also.

Is this a , house , town home , condo , apartment , mobile home , motor home , or Etc. .

What directions do the windows face??

What directions do patios/balconies face??

What floor??

What is the top floor??

How many Tv's are/will be connected??

This is a two story house with back of house facing north. The house is in a relatively wooded area. I would like to have two TV's connected, but can live with one.

Above the roof in such a manner that reception is not blocked by the roof or house in the directions of , north west , west , south west , north east , east.

Install a Winegard HD7084P antenna aimed at about 295 degree magnetic compass direction.

________________________________

As always , trees and tree leaves , plants and plant leaves , do a good job of , absorbing , multi-path/reflecting , blocking , Digital Broadcast Tv reception and so do buildings and other obstructions including your own roof and house.

It is best to install the HD7084P antenna at a location that has the least amount to no amount of obstructions of any type or kind in the directions of reception including your own roof and house.

The Tv's Must Channel Scan for the Digital Broadcast Tv Channels , often named the , 'Air Channels' or 'Antenna Channels' in the Tv Setup Menu Because the Tv transmissions travel through the Air from the transmitting antenna to the receiving antenna.

Some digital tv's will Automatic channel scan for cable tv channels.

DO NOT channel scan for cable tv channels.

Go into the Tv Setup Menu and select , Air Channels' / 'Antenna Channels'.
