Hi John. I agree, a "home run" to each tv would be best and if I had more than two sets that's how I would do it. The splitter for the 2nd set will be placed near the base of the antenna mast, 30' from the antenna. From that point, the run to the main tv is approx 15', and the run to 2nd tv is approx 50'. Would placing the splitter at the top of the mast near the antenna provide more signal to the 2nd tv or should I consider a line amp for that location?

Would the antenna you recommended work for channel 12 coming from the opposite direction? The factory specs say 14 thru 69. That's one of the reasons the 4228HD was considered, for it's upper VHF abilities. I don't see much of a design difference between the two so maybe that's just hype from Channel Master.
