For starters here is my
TVfool
I am currently using an RCA UHF/VHF antenna located in the attic that I inherited with the house. I have no clue of the exact specs but it has an 80" boom and a fairly short UHF side but it does have a reflector. I have a 2-way splitter in the attic. One goes directly to the living room TV and one goes to another 2-way splitter into my PC's TV tuner card (one for TV and one for FM).
I had problems getting KTVT until I realigned the antenna as it was around 230 deg. Now I get it with no problems, but now KXAS-DT cuts out. The odd thing is that they are both at about the same angle.
Now my questions are: Would a preamp help? How big a preamp should I get?
According to Channel Master if the towers are over 20 miles then you can get the big CM7777, though I believe it is more complicated than that and I do not want to overload my signal.
Any help or suggestions would be great! For now I may try some different positions in the attic.
Thanks in advance!
