Hi All, Mike at Solid Signal turned me on this site. Thanks in advance for all input (pun intended). I am a lifelong tinkerer and can't resist an electronics challenge....so here we go with pertinent data:
http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...267ec0748f8974
Channel Master 3042 amplifier (22db gain, 54-862 mHz, 2 output with return path)
Toner XGVS-3B, balanced 3 way splitter
Antennae Direct 91XG (Yagi configuration), rooftop, approx 24' height, asphalt shingled roof
Location=40.69494,-74.28257
LG, two HD ready sets
Dynex set, but has lackluster tuner thus utilizing outboard Dish Network HD tuner
1st concern: cabling from the yagi is RG-59 75 ohm, with a run of approx 65'.
Cabling from where it all meets in the home is a mixture of RG 59 and Perfect Vision brand RG-6 (to the Dynex). Should I immediately upgrade so that all cabling is RG-6?
2nd concern: should I swap out this Channel Master amp for some other amp or perhaps switch to a pre amp?
Re: WLIW, occasionally I will get a momentary signal strength indication of about 50%, then it seems as if the Dish Network tuner rejects the signal completely. The LG sets (both cabled from the splitter with RG-59) do not even discriminate WLIW, 21.1, et seq, and I have to enter manually. Still no WLIW reception on either LG set.
Also, have tried a straight run from antenna to the Dynex with outboard Dish Network tuner and that does not yield a signal either. Currently, I am using single output with a 2' run of RG-6 to the Toner splitter, then to the three sets as described above.
I would give my right *&^ to get WLIW, in a manner of speaking....any suggestions???? Thanks very much in advance and I appreciate your fielding the question.
VTY,
David aka OberGeiss of Union NJ
