It's possible that the 'slitter' is not a splitter. Many satellite system parts are not able to pass OTA TV signals.

Start by facing the CS4 toward 250° (per a real compass). Run a cable not longer than 50' directly from the antenna to a single TV that has a digital over the air tuner. Don't add any other parts such as amplifiers or splitters yet. Be sure the TV tuner is set for 'air' or 'antenna' mode, not 'cable'. Then scan for channels.

If your TV has a signal strength indicator, use it to fine tune the aim to produce reliable reception on as many channels as possible.
