With this set up, I get 22 channels on 3 t.v.s throughout my house using a "left behind Rogers" powered splitter. The splitter says it is zero gain and zero loss. I am extremely happy with how the entire install has gone.
My problem is that with the splitter in the line, I lose WUTV - Fox. If the run goes directly to just one t.v. I get Fox. What can I try to get Fox when the splitter is introduced?
Thanks.

adjacent channel interference from CH15?
What happens when you aim your antenna directly at FOX, 142 degrees magnetic?

Replace Rogers zero-gain splitter with a Channel Master 3412 distribution amp. You just need a little more gain in your distribution system.

I am thinking the length of cable to each house t.v. is now the issue as to why each t.v. is getting different channels?

I agree. Also, different TVs have different tuner sensitivity.
Connect the TV with the longest coax run to one output of the CM3412. Connect a 2-way passive splitter to the other output of the CM3412 to feed the other 2 TVs that have shorter coax runs.
No preamp at the antenna for this test.
For 4 TVs, use a CM3414 and no passive splitter. However, it has less gain than the 3412 with 2-way splitter as above for the longest run; 8 dB VS 11.5 dB.
Please let us know how it works out. Don't start a new thread, use this one. It confuses us when you start a new thread for the same topic.
