Nothing like playing in the attic during a heat wave! I have an Antennacraft HBU33 (
http://www.starkelectronic.com/hbu33.pdf) installed in my attic with about 55 ft of cable going to my main TV downstairs. I just made the mistake of purchasing a Channel Master CM-7777 preamplifier which I believe overpowered my signal. My goal was to improve my reception and add a splitter for a bedroom TV, so I thought I needed the added power. After adding the preamplifier in the attic (both preamp and power supply before the splitter), I went from having 32 channels to only 8 channels. I just now removed the amplifier entirely and went back to around 32 channels. The CM-7777 replaced an older Radio Shack preamp which was installed so the power supply end was installed downstairs near the TV (single, not split). Suggestions? My tvfool analysis is below:
