I will not hack that antenna. Unless it is necessary to remove it from the attic when the day comes, it will probably be obsolete when that day comes anyway.

Thank you for the wisdom from all. I like the 91xg. And no, it will not live in the attic.

Tried the 300ohm transformer just like the video said. Make things worse, though they weren't that good to begin with.

Next, put a 50ft quad shield rg6 from the mart from antenna to box. No amp. Almost back to where I was. Getting everything except PBS (15.1) and WQMY (53), which is "behind" the antenna and I always thought getting it in the first place was a fluke. Antenna is now at 228deg.

Put in amp. Made no difference, as far as I can tell. The digital box only has a "bad-good" bar for signal. There is no numerical value.

My take on all this is that I either had a cable go bad or this system likes quad shield much better.
