I recently mounted a Antennas Direct DB4 antenna on the roof of my house. I aimed it at 49° since the stations that we are interested in are between 20° and 78°. My signal analysis:

The signal is 90 to 100% on all channels except for the VHF channel 10.1 which varies usually between 45 to 55% and sometimes goes to "no signal". This channel is unfortunately the one that we view the most.
To get these results, I have the antenna directly connected to the TV with a cable going through a window. Previously I had disconnected the cable service input signal cable and connected my antenna through the cable system going into the house. The signal was much lower on all channels when I did this.
I'm considering getting the Winegard AP8800 since it's db level for VHF is higher than for UHF which seems to be what I am needing.
Also I was wondering if I should use the existing cable service in-house system or scrap it and run a new setup. I want to supply 2 TV's at this time but might expand that to a total of 4 later.
The longest run between the antenna and TV will be around 75 feet.
I thought I'd consult the professionals to see if I'm think in the right direction.
Thanks in advance.
