While I find myself on this site again asking for advice in a different thread, I thought I would post a little update here on this thread.
- I am cured now of all desire to put an antenna in the attic.
- GREAT success putting a new ANT 751 on the roof looking at ~105 degrees. All the channels in this direction are stronger and more stable in wet weather. The ANT is on a short (~18") post screwed into the roof and has new RG6 coax running to a splitter to the 2 TV's. The older Sony came with a little "booster" cable that i still use. Otherwise, no amp needed.
- The channels coming from ~020 are just about as strong as before even though I am pointing to 105 with the ANT.
- I have not tried a second antenna pointing to 020 yet as the above fix has solved 80% of the original (local) issues.
Thanks again for the help.
Mike
