I just moved houses (closer to the tv stations) but at my new house I am missing ABC and FOX. I moved my antenna from my old house where it was working perfectly, so I know that wasn't the issue. It is "looking" through some of my neighbors tall trees (it "looked" through trees at my old house to, but these are a little closer). I just added a booster thinking that my help, but no joy.
I have a Antennas Direct ClearStream4 HDTV Antenna, with a Antennas Direct VHF Retrofit Kit, and a Winegard LNA-200 Boost XT Digital HDTV Preamplifier. It is on top of my roof (about 36' more or less) on a 30" mast off of the tallest part of the roof.
There is a 12" cable (all cables I am using are RG-6) from the antenna to the VHF Retrofit Kit, then a 36" cable from the VHF Retrofit Kit to the Preamplifier, than a 50' cable that runs into my basement where it is hooked to the power supply for the preamplifier, then about a 25' cable that runs to my tv.
It is all pointed the right direction (as close to 158 degrees as my eyeballs can tell off a magnetic compass, adjusted for magnetic variance) See the picture for the stations I am missing, from what I can tell, I don't know why they are not coming in but everything else is...
Any help you can provide will be REALLY appreciated. Thank you.

Just realized the photo of what I stations I get and don't get didn't show up, so here is a link to it:

Hello esebast37-
My recommendation would be to contact the manufacturer or visit their website for troubleshooting or other support assistance.
Sorry I can't be of more help!

I had a similar issue when we moved across town. When I looked at the topology around me I found there is a ridge that is higher than my house between me and the TV Transmitters. I had to switch to cable or get a 200 foot tower for my antenna.

It possible you are getting noise from other sources that is blocking signals from these channels. You might need an attenuator to filter the noise.
