Thanks for the info on the antenna. Since WALA fox is VHF-H , I would like to have it on my backup if possible. On another forum (AV) I saw many people saying they could not get this station, so it may be unrealistic on any indoor antenna.
As far as the amp goes, I am getting the signal I need right now using 1 tuner, so I don't think I need a preamp, just wondering if I will need it once I do the split. The split will happen in my "computer room" closet so yea I guess I should just try a passive one and see what happens. I am just a bit gunshy about those splitters as I had a long standing problem with internet access that turned out to be due to one installed in the wall by comcast. It would work fine most of the time but would die on warm/hot/wet summer days. I removed my own splitter and then it did not happen as often but still persisted. Only when I was running ethernet cable did I find the comcast splitter in the wall. It was to feed the next room over. Removed and have been problem free ever since.
Thanks for the amp advise. I saw that one on amazon and it had good reviews. I also saw a slightly newer version with the remote pwr adapter included for 10 more. On the very remote chance that one day I do a split in the attic to feed other tv's as a backup ...will the amp be able to survive the extreme heat of my attic during the summer months?
Thanks...!
