I decided not to try fooling around with a small antenna. Mounted a Winegard HD9095P on the roof. This setup works well when connected to one TV for all the channels that are at 174 degrees. I plan to keep it fixed with no rotor. The toughest channel that I care about getting is WFXT-DT (31).
I'd like to connect the antenna to 2 TV's. Here's the setup: 60 feet of RG6 to the 1st TV, 2-way splitter, approx 100ft of cable to the 2nd TV. With this in place, the 2nd TV doesn't pick up WFXT and it becomes iffy on the 1st TV. I assume a preamp should be installed. Signal strength for this channel is around 50% at the 1st TV. Most of the other channels show signal strength around 90%. Is a high gain preamp, say around 29dB UHF, likely to overpower the tuner on the stronger channels? Anyhow, I'd like to get preamp recommendations from the experts here.
