Hi everyone. I am cutting the cord and getting rid of direct tv! I am in need of some help. Above is the link to my signal analysis.. here is my setup and description of the problems I’m facing.
I have an HD Stacker Antenna(
http://www.dennysantennaservice.com/...enna-html.html) with a Winegard LNA-200 Boost XT amp(
http://www.amazon.com/Winegard-LNA-2...ywords=lna+200). Currently the antenna is about 18 feet in the air with 100 feet of coaxial cable(straight run no splitters or anything).
I’m basically right in the middle of Memphis, TN(338-346 degrees) and Tupelo, MS(151). I’d prefer to get all the Memphis channels cause there is more offered (bigger city). With the antenna plugged straight into the tv I can get most of the major networks(not ABC for some reason even though I get CW which comes from the same place) from Memphis, TN though they are prone to dropping out. If I turn it toward 151 I get a few of the channels from Tupelo, MS(ABC!/NBC) and still somehow get the Memphis NBC. When I do a scan with the antenna plugged into the amp with the pre amp plugged in the wall I get NOTHING from either direction. When I do a scan with the pre amp unplugged from the electricity I am able to get one channel (Memphis fox WHBQ-TV). I have recently gotten new RG6 cable and correctly installed compression f connectors just to be able to eliminate that as a potential problem. I have tried adding a 2 way splitter in case I’m “overloading” but that didn’t help at all.
Only ideas I have is maybe I got the wrong amp for my needs? Or maybe I need to add a bigger splitter if I’m in fact causing overload?
Look forward to hearing from you all and hopefully you can help me dump the dish once and for all!
