Thanks for the replys. My antenna is right now located on a ladder in front of my house with the coaxile cord run out my window and duct tape across the bottom of the window to "seal it". LOL! I do plan on putting it on my roof, but want to make sure it's gonna work before I pay someone to install it (I do have 90 days to try it out). The cord from the antenna to the pre amp is very short, the amp is probably less than a foot under the antenna with very little slack in the cord. I then have a 20 foot cord run from the pre-amp to the power supply. Then there's cord from the power supply to the converter box.

I had my data wrong when I first bought a compass and pointed the antenna at 320 and it worked fine. I re-checked my data, pointed the antenna at 310 and most of the channels were cutting out a lot. So, I put it back to 320 and it's working well. Maybe my compass is off a bit, or maybe the info on the internet puts my house off a bit from where it is, but 320 seems to work best for keeping the channels in.

I can get all my channels on my converter box just fine. I'm very happy with how it is pulling in the channels for the converter box. But, I can only get 3-4 channels on my tv and some of them will cut out at times. I'm not happy with that cuz some channels I can't watch in HD as I can only get them on my converter box.

OK, so two more questions: how much of a difference do you think it will make when I move my antenna from the top of my ladder (which is maybe 5 foot tall), to the top of my roof (which I'm guessing is only 15-20feet tall as I live in a trailer). Doesn't seem like moving it 10 feet up would make a whole lot of difference. Would it?

Also, what antenna would you recommend for my location? I am getting all the channels I want with the antenna I have now. I don't really need a rotor. Most of the channels not at that 310 mark are just duplicate stations (like another FOX or whatever). I'm very happy with the channels I am getting on my converter box, but I do want to be able to get channels on both the converter box and tv. So, would I need a different antenna to accomplish this?

Oh, and I just looked at my stations again. My EZ HD antenna is picking up every station in the green, yellow and red except for 54.1 in the yellow and 39.1 and 13.1 in the red. The analog stations don't come in on my converter box, and are fuzzy on my tv. If I plug my antenna directly into my tv, it does pull in all the same digital stations and some of the anaolg stations are clear, some are fuzzy. But really, I don't think I will hardly if ever watch the analog stations. So, this antenna is doing fine pulling in all the stations I want, it just can't get them to both my tv and converter box for some reason. It works fine plugged directly into my tv and works fine plugged directly into my converter box.

Thanks for any suggestions.
