As always , trees and tree leaves do a real fine job of reducing or blocking Digital Tv reception and so do buildings and other obstructions including your own house.
It is best to locate the antennas 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 house.
The Tv's Must Channel Scan for the Broadcast Tv Channels , often named to '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.
DO NOT channel scan for cable tv channels.
