I purchased the DB8e antenna and installed it in my attic. It's working good; I'm getting all the major network channels that I wanted.
Do I need to be concerned with loosing reception in the winter if I have snow/ice on the roof with the antenna in the attic (I'm in Buffalo, NY = lots of snow)?
If there are any issues with snow/ice, I could install the antenna on the roof (I got my wife's approval
) and maybe I would get a couple extra stations from Toronto (like CityTV)?
Also, if I install a splitter for reception on a 2nd or 3rd TV, do I need an amplifier? I'm not sure I understand the difference between an amplifier and a pre-Amplifier? Is there a difference? Is there one you recommend?
Lastly, I did splurge and get the ChannelMaster DVR+. It was a little expensive, but I like the program guide and I'm able to record all the tv shows that I watch.
Thanks for you responses!
