Damn. I had a long post typed up and I lost it.

Anyways, I can't remove the first splitter because the coax would not reach the computer tuners, but if I remove the first splitter and connect directly to the tv, the signal improves from 59% to 62%.

If I disconnect the tv, and remove the second splitter and connect directly to the computer tuners, the signal strength shows no improvement. If I replace the first splitter with the second one, there is still no signal improvement at the computer. There is a 1% improvement at the tv.

I leaning towards it being an antenna issue. I'm on the third floor of a three story apartment building. I have the antenna mounted a 10 foot mast that is attached to my balcony floor and we have 10 foot ceilings. So that puts the antenna near the roof line. I could try moving the antenna around but there is an oak tree near one side of my balcony and I currently have the antenna in the spot farthest from the tree. It is pointing at 120 degrees.

I can try a FM trap, any recommendations?
