I did get a new 2 way splitter and found another splitter in the mix that wasn't even slitting, just used as a coupler, so I ditched in favor of a regular coupler. Also took out an "extension" coax used to lengthen one. Rerouting cable to reach in one piece. I think loosing the one splitter helped a tad but I'm loosing lots of signal somewhere. Pretty sure I've exhausted my opportunities to "tighten up" my circuit, all other cables and whatever splitters and such are buried deep in walls and inaccessible. I'm thinking of ordering a preamp. Other options would be run all new coax (extremely difficult as everything is finished off in the house) or possibly run another one or even two antennas, one for each or 2 for the three TVs. I'll likely order up a distribution amp first to see what that does for me. Can't decide between a distribution amp or another preamp. Whichever I do it will be on the outside of the house as the feed splits on the outside before entering the house and heading off in other directions. Indoor amps could only be placed right before the TVs which would likely be too far downstream to do any good. I have my power supply for my old Winegard 269 outside the house (in a plastic box) with the power cord punched through the wall. I assume this preamp is dead as putting it back in the circuit worsens everything instead of improving it. It did improve before so well, I need some sort of amplification.
