I got the addon VHF portion from Antennas Direct and have installed it. After doing so my UHF reception is worse. I do get my Fox channel somewhat now (the only VHF channel). For testing I setup a TV in my basement close to where the cable comes into the house. The signal issues I experience throughout the house are also happening in the basement as well. I wonder if I need a preamp or to go higher with the antenna. My antenna is currently attached to a mast that is at the back corner of my house. It is about 14ft off of the ground and line of site to where the towers would be (about 22 miles away), my neighbor's house is in the way. I have also thought about cutting my losses with this antenna and get something more conventional. What should I do?
