Tv Antennas and Reception

Ok here is the way I recommend doing it. Have 2 HD7080P antennas -- No antenna preamplifiers --, No rotors. One HD7080P antenna is pointed at Chicago and the other HD7080P antenna is pointed at Milwaukee. A coax is brought from each antenna to the location Plasma big screen Tv. A remote control A/B antenna switch is connected to the separate coax from each antenna and the output of the A/B switch is connected to the Tv. Here are remote control A/B switches , model AB27RS or a radio shack 15-1968. So Ok thats for the one Tv , when or if the second Tv is to be connected , what you do is put a 2 way splitter on each coax that come from the antennas and run coax from the outputs of the splitters to the 2 A/B switches , one A/B switch is at one Tv and the other A/B switch is at the other Tv. Yes I know what you will say -> Thats double the coax wiring , And I say yes it is , However when the coax wiring is installed it makes it -> Very Easy <- to select the Chicago or Milwaukee stations , you stay in your chair and push the A/B button on the remote control , no disagreements over what Tv stations to watch , a person can go and watch the other tv.
