Hello everyone.
I am 66 and this is all way over my head.
I am tired of paying to watch commercials.
Many of you may not remember when cable TV was proposed but the selling point was "NO COMMERCIALS" and it was $8.00/month. Now its north of $30 and there are more commercials than when TV was free. Go figure. I have timed blocks of commercials that reach 30%-50% of show time. Anyway if anyone can help us out it would be greatly appreciated.
Here's the plot.

Aim the HBU11K antenna at about 220 degree magnetic compass direction.

Here is how to aim antennas.

Use a Real and Actual magnetic compass to aim the HBU11K antenna , do not trust a , cell phone , tablet and etc. compass.

Most Digital Tv's have a Signal Strength Meter and some Digital Tv's also have a Signal Quality Meter.

A antenna system amplifier is not required.

Also know this.

As always , trees and tree leaves , plants and plants leaves , have a Negative Effect on Broadcast Tv Reception and so do buildings and other obstructions including your own , attic , roof , building , in the directions of reception.

Some and not all Negative Effects are.

Absorbing and Blocking Reception.

Multi-Path Reflecting Tv Signals Bouncing All Around.

The Best Practice for Reliable Reception is to install the HBU11K antenna or any Tv antenna at a location that has the least amount to no amount of obstructions of any type or kind in the directions.

At your reception location that is , West , North West , North , North East , East , South East , South.
