Hi, my name is Randy. I have a Antennas Direct 91XG UHF TV Antenna (91XG) and a Winegard AP-8700 pre-amp. They are mounted on the south 2nd story fascia about 22ft up. I had to pull about 55-60ft of RG6 to one tv(no splitters).Side-note, I would like to split the signal to feed some other tvs though in the future. We just had a metal roof installed on the house so I thought I'd try and tune things in. I have seen no unusually changes in reception sine the new roof. Since this antenna set-up has been installed for almost 2 years, I thought it is time to tune it up. Here is a link to my tv signal analysis results:

I have the antenna pointed pretty much straight at channel 55.1 in the NW to get Fox. It rarely comes in during the day but it will at night. One of my questions is does any of the experts see a better way to peak this antenna in? I have troubles some times getting 15.1 ABC to come in as well as 12.1 PBS. 16.1 PBS comes in fine though and it is farther. My chimney might be in the way some for 15.1. I thought I might try and hit 27.1 for Fox and see what else shows up. I don't get 27.1 at all right now. The channels I can get steadily are: 3.1, 10.1, 10.2(with a weird pause and play effect), 16.1, 16.2, 16.3, 16.4, 17.1, 17.2, 23.1, 23.2, 51.1. The channels I get that are'nt as reliable are: 3.2, 12.1, 12.2, 12.3, 15.1, 15.2, 20.1, 20.2, 55.1, 55.2.
Any comments would be appreciated. I'm a novice and would like to learn more. I haven't tried to change the antenna much because I'm not a big fan of heights and now the new metal roof is pretty slick! Thanks for everyone's time and consideration.
