Thanks for taking the time for such a comprehensive answer.
Although I didn't "walk the roof", I did originally aim the antenna in the manner that you described: started at 342 degrees, then tweaked for the strongest signal at the chimney. My wife monitored the signal strength meter on the DTV converted box while I rotated the antenna. High winds may have subsequently nudged it a bit...but I can't safely get up there to check until the snow is gone.
I was aware of the duplicate programming on WNNE and WPTZ..in fact before the rotator broke, the better reception came from WNNE. I wasn't aware of the need to periodically rescan the channels, so I'll get on that.
I have a question regarding the KT-200-Coax Tv Antenna Booster. I've read that a strong signal can cause a preamp to overdrive the receiver or shut the preamp down. We have one VHF channel which gives a strong signal already. (Usually in the green around 75%) Will this be a problem? I noticed that the KT100VG has an adjustable gain 0-20dB. Would this be a better choice, even though the noise is higher?
I have a power source in the eaves where it would be located, so would the standard versions work as well as the coax models? This would mitigate the need for power passing splitters, right? I currently don't have any splitters anyway, but down the line....
Thanks.
