Electron, thank you again for all of your advice. I will follow all of it. Last night, I ran a new cable directly from the splitter to the family room tv as you suggested. It made no difference. My bedroom tv started messing up as well, though not nearly as bad. Without the signal amp, though, it did not do well at all. This led me to suspect a problem with the cable coming from the antenna to the splitter. Further inspection of it showed that the cable is crimped pretty bad in two places near the splitter end. I wonder if this is the problem and I'm just not getting a good signal from the antenna? There is enough extra cable to cut the bad part off and install a new connector. I will try that this evening. I think I will also try coupling my new cable to it - bypassing the splitter - and running it directly to my family room tv to see what happens. I may as well try running it directly to the family room tv as well.

Thanks,

Howie
