here's my fool report:
http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...81a3c0fdb72a0b
okay, I got my new 4228HD antenna and Winegard 8275 pre amp and hooked em up, up in the attic. first attached them to the attic tv and got great guns reception from 28 channels, up from about 14 or so w/ my previous antenna. then i hooked a splitter up so i could link in my downstairs TV and from that tv I got -- nothing. i'd removed the cable-TV cable and was running the antenna cable straight from the splitter to the TV and got nothing, nada, squat.
well, i messed around with that for a whole long time and still -- fuzz, nothing but fuzz.
then i hooked the cable back up, left the antenna hooked up, and did the channel search thing again and now, where I had 13 channels before with just basic cable, I've got about 45 channels, including ones I'd never seen before, like cspan and bravo, and other oddities with channels up into the 100s. mucho weirdness.
what's up? what's wrong and/or what's right?
i want to get rid of cable altogether but i've got to get the antenna working on the downstairs tv first.
help!
