Are all channels reliable now?

If "yes", you are done.

If "no" and the 'problem' channel was previously reliable with the individual antenna, you need the AC7 combiner.
O.K. Disconnected one antenna at a time from the reversed splitter to do individual tests. Here are the results.

1) The C2V picks up all channels except KRBK. I noticed some pixelation/cutting out/audio drops on my basement Panasonic Viera plasma on KSPR (33.1 ABC). The TV antenna is plugged into the back of this device: http://www.channelmaster.com/Products_s/329.htm#dvrplus
Another thing that was interesting to me was that I was picking up the KRFT channels from the Clearstream.

2) The 91XG picks up KRBK without issue on all TV's. One thing I did notice though was all other channels did come in through the 91XG although some were at a bit lower signal strength. Also, when just connected to the 91XG KYTV (3.1 NBC) was experiencing some pixelation/cutting out/audio drops. It was worse on the Panasonic Plasma TV connected to the DVR+ from Channel Master.

If there is any additional information you need from me I will try to oblige. Otherwise, what are your thoughts?
