Any chance of reception?

http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...ec2f6fcf45f6ad


I am pretty sure a rooftop installation is my only option. I have seen some very old looking antennas on a few homes in my county so maybe they picked up a few channels at some point. Before I buy an antenna I'd like to know if I have a shot at some reception. Also any recommendations on specific antennas for my situation would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You're right, you'll need to use an outdoor mounted antenna to have a decent shot at reliable reception. You'll also need to avoid aiming through trees and structures including your own.

I'd opt for an Antennas Direct DB8E + Antennacraft Y10713 + RCA TVPRAMP1R preamplifier.

The Tv stations can be received , however are Very Weak Signal Strengths.

To see if signal strengths improve , please make and post 2 more tvfool reports , 40 and 60 feet antenna heights above ground.
