Hello.. I am relatively new to cutting the cord and had some questions..
Here is my report

I have an RCA antenna, ant751r, mounted on my roof. I also have an RCA preamp, tvpramp1r. The antenna goes into my preamp and then out to a Hauppauge 1229 in my computer. The cable length is probably 75 - 100ft and has one barrel connector just before coming into the house. My antenna is pointed at 131 degrees so I can pick up channels from both Baltimore and DC.
The Hauppauge card came with a signal meter which lists SNR ratio. Most of the channels in DC are 27-30 SNR and most Baltimore stations are 22-25 SNR. I have issues with one channel from DC (NBC 4). It sometimes freezes. I think it is dropping the lock on the channel. It is not a huge deal since NBC from Baltimore is fine, but I wanted to know if there was anything I can do to improve on my setup. Thanks in advance.
