Yes I have. I get excellent reception on all channels except WOI 5 which now also seems to be doing much better after I put the splitter between the preamp power supply and coax into TV.

Powering an amplifier via the coax with a splitter in line requires the use of a power passing splitter.
Without either amp or preamp I can't get channel 5 at all, the preamp gives me a better picture on the other channels but the amp seems to have no effect.
