DTV antenna reception.

Just so you or anyone who reads this post can understand that you CAN NOT combind two antennas of a different type and or in oposite directions. If you don't understand or believe this due to a lack of understanding how signals work, here in a comparison that may clear this up;

Think of your two antennas as two 5 gallons buckets. You need four gallons of water (that is your signal) in either bucket to do a task. There is five gallons in one and one gallon in the other. You connect them with a line (that is your splitter) below both water lines. The bucket with five gallons feeds back into the bucket that has only one. Now both have half of the combined volume for a total of six gallons leaving both buckets with only three gallons. Not enough in either bucket to do the task.

I hope that makes sense.
