Just wanted to report back. I replaced the three separate baluns with a single Channel Master one and connected a Holland balanced 3-way splitter to it.
After looking at the SiliconDust Config afterwards, Channel 21's Signal and Symbol Quality remained at 0% and the Signal Strength actually dropped to 50%.
I guess that means a splitter with a low loss output would be a good idea but also that I probably need to get a separate UHF directional antenna in order to pull in Channel 21.
But would a separate UHF antenna do anything if the tops of some trees are in the way of Channel 21 and are the ultimate cause of the problem?
It would be a shame because I really only want two channels, PBS and that CreateTV channel. I don't really watch any of the other channels.
