UPDATE: I got my 2 spreadsheets confused. One spread sheet has difference between a pre-amp and no pre-amp and the other is difference between different hights & directions of my antenna. Sorry. Here is the UPDATE:

Before / After Pre-Amp w/ Channel Master 7777
Most affected channels with the Pre-Amp:
CH. 5-1 - Signal Strength = 83/94 - dB = 27/30 - CBC HD - CN Tower Toronto
CH. 9-1 - Signal Strength = 76/77 - dB = 20/23 - CTV HD - CN Tower Toronto
CH. 11-1 - Signal Strength = 83/90 - dB = 27/31 - E! HD - Hamilton
CH. 17-1 - Signal Strength = 84/88 - dB = 28/28 - PBS HD - Grand Island, Buffalo
CH. 17-2 - Signal Strength = 84/88 - dB = 28/28 - PBS SD - Grand Island, Buffalo
CH. 17-3 - Signal Strength = 84/88 - dB = 28/28 - Think Bright - Grand Island, Buffalo
CH. 23-1 - Signal Strength = 74/92 - dB = 24/29 - The CW HD - Grand Island, Buffalo
CH. 25-1 - Signal Strength = 78/88 - dB = 20/25 - CBC-F HD - CN Tower Toronto
CH. 29-1 - Signal Strength = 58/94 - dB = 20/29 - Fox29 HD - Grand Island, Buffalo
CH. 41-1 - Signal Strength = 33/55 - dB = 14/20 - Global HD - CN Tower Toronto
(Global HD is a weird one, it should improve greatly when it goes from 3kW to the new stronger 100kW and a higher tower.)
CH. 44-1 - Signal Strength = 71/73 - dB = 23/23 - OMNI.2 HD - CN Tower Toronto
CH. 57-1 - Signal Strength = 54/71 - dB = 14/23 - City TV HD - CN Tower Toronto
CH. 66-1 - Signal Strength = 62/71 - dB = 17/23 - Sun TV HD - CN Tower Toronto

Without the Pre-Amp, I could never get the channels bellow or they came in with real bad signal problems:

CH. 2-1 - Signal Strength = 56 - dB = 22 - NBC HD - South Wales, Buffalo
CH. 2-2 - Signal Strength = 55 - dB = 19 - NBC Universal Sports - South Wales, Buffalo
CH. 2-3 - Signal Strength = 55 - dB = 19 - Retro TV Network - South Wales, Buffalo
CH. 4-1 - Signal Strength = 80 - dB = 23/26 - CBS HD - Colden, Buffalo
CH. 7-1 - Signal Strength = 88 - dB = 23/25 - ABC HD - Colden, Buffalo
CH. 49-1 - Signal Strength = 70 - dB = 23/23 - MyTV HD - Wyoming, Buffalo
CH. 64-1 - Signal Strength = 40 - dB = 14/16 - OMNI.1 HD - CN Tower Toronto


Not watchable, way too much picture corruption. But I don't care anyway. I just wanted to show how far Jamestown is and I still got some sort of signal from it.
CH. 26-1 - Signal Strength = 40 - dB = 15 - TCT HD - Jamestown
CH. 33-1 - It scans, but no picture for some reason?
CH. 33-2 - It scans, but no picture for some reason?
CH. 33-3 - It scans, but no picture for some reason?
