Well the preamp finally burned off for good it seems & I can hardly pull close range local channels from the roof, I get more from the indoor HDB91X, but in a brick building its not great, as much as I hate to buy another antenna, that I ultimately won't use when I move, I've been considering getting a HDB4X, that is currently on sale at Solid Signal $25, as a quick fix, to put on the northbound wall Jmount that I originally used before I moved the db4e to the roof. With the pole I bought for HDB91X I think I could hoist it above the roof gutter. I've been wondering how the HDB4X compares to the db4e since the design is very similar but it only quotes a 50 mile range to the db4e's 60+, I guess for $25 I can gamble, at worst I could stabilize the local channels for the short run, not even being able to do that is pretty annoying.
