So, I assume you are suggesting not order amp/booster with the antenna, i probably don't need it right with 50-60ft of cable length, right?

Thanks.
Yes, try it without an amp first. OTAFAN is correct, you shouldn't need a preamp because your signals are strong enough to cause overload if you add the antenna gain and preamp gain to the Noise Margin figures in your TVFool report.

I got curious about the Hauppauge tuner so I ordered a 955Q. The previous Hauppauge USB stick didn't work very well for me in 2013, but this time the installation was OK.
