Thanks, GroundUrMast….all very helpful information. Definitely want to get the best bang-for-the-buck system. Does one of the aforementioned antennas stand out in terms of durability?
The central panel is located in the basement below a BR closet so will run 1 ΒΌ” PVC straight up through the main level to the attic for future cabling. For now, the cable throughout is bundled QS with a single CAT 5e except for the feed cable which I acquired previously. The cable company feed is coming in the basement near the central panel; the modem, router and Gb switch will be in the central panel with the 8-way splitter. Any recommendations for a splitter?
I remember seeing favorable reviews for the RCA TVPRAMP1R indicating it did a good job with boosting signal strength and handling signal overload. For the $, it should be a good starting point.
Your planning tip for installing outlets in the attic and keeping proposed mounting site flexible is appreciated. Will ask builder for additional outlets for powering preamp and will probably run some pull string from central panel to either end of the attic for future feeds. Any other cabling considerations?
