@StephanieS Yes, it's a single lead of coax into the HDHomeRun tuner. It's split in 2 locations - 1 for the ground block and another where the amplifier for the FL6550 used to be (now just a barrel connector). I use compression connectors on the cable and have yet to identify a bad connection, though anything is possible. I won't add any other splitters or connections until I have a good baseline on a single tuner.
@GroundUrMast - thanks for the advice on the tripod/top rail. I didn't realize that it would allow me to achieve 15' without guy wires which I've been dreading. I've got solar on the roof already so adding wires would make it very busy up there. I believe I have a tripod stuffed away in the shed from an old dish setup so I'll see if I can dig that out. That also will make it easier to shift the location around, though since our roof is hipped, I don't have a lot of area to choose from.
The cable is brand new and doesn't have any visible kinks or defects. I don't have any equipment to test with so I'll have to go with that unless anyone has any suggestions for checking the cable/connections.
