GroundUrMast, thanks so much for all the valuable information! I've already got the order placed for the DB4e. I'm just going to go with a 4 way splitter for now since that is all the rooms we currently have a TV anyways (thinking of adding another later, but will get a different splitter then if follow through with that). Great to hear that I should have enough power for 8, so hoping keeping it lower for now will help the signal even better.
I wasn't going to save any (shipping, etc) with going ahead and getting the Y10713 now, so thinking I'll get the other installed and going first and then add it later. I would just use the UVSJ in the attic to combine the signals before running down to split to the other TVs, correct?
As far as mounting, is there any advantages/disadvantages to mounting the antennas as close to the roof decking as possible? Or, mounting out in free space?
I just thought in some photos I had seen that some had mounted them very close to the wood decking. I didn't know if this was on purpose, or just how their particular mounting worked out for them.
I'm guessing trying to avoid anywhere there may be metal flashing is idea as well.
Thanks to all for providing such a great forum!
