Okay, so after a day of sweating up in the attic, I finally got the system to work.
I hooked the antenna to a HDA200 24db distribution amp, which connects to the inserter (came with amp) 25" away, then used a 2' cable to a 2-way splitter (Eagle Aspin 5-1000mhz), from there one cable is 50' for one TV and the other goes 50' to a 4-way splitter (also Eagle Aspin 5-1000mhz, the existing cable/satellite 4-way splitter didn't work well at all), from here the rest of the existing four cables are attached... they're 70', 60', 40' and 30'.
The only problem I had was hand-tightening the connectors, they became loose as soon as I set the cable down (stiffness of the cable rotating them loose), it took me a long while to finally realize the problem and that I needed to use a wrench to ensure they stayed tightened, otherwise, no signal and a lot of head scratching.
Many thanks to all the great guys in this forum that have helped me along the way.
