Sometimes I wish my thoughts were quicker then my enter button...
2 thoughts/questions...
1. For my initial install I am going to attempt using the antenna by its self. If that doesnt work I am going to look into an amp. I have seen there are 2 types of amps, a pre amp and a amp near the TV. I am assuming a preamp would be the correct one to use, but should ask the gurus.
2. I am planning to initially try using the directTV mast I already have on my roof. (its on wrong side of roof, so may not work, but worth a shot since its already wired) Then I need to bring it into the house. Heres the catch (although probably a common issue) I have cable internet that runs to my modem which sits directly underneath my TV with the only cable outlet in my living room.
Heres a diagram of what I "want" to do, but I am not sure if it will work...
I am guessing it will NOT work and will need to run another line, but I am hopeful that I am wrong...
Cheers!
