I wasn't sure if you can install another DB8 and run both DB8 lines into a combiner before the pre amp. And if so I would assume the lines need to be the same length, and do I need to mount it a certain distance below or above the original DB8 on the mast ?
Thanks for the help !!

Combining 'same-band' signals, for example UHF combined with UHF is possible... Success usually requires the use of high performance filters. (Translation: High performance = More money than the typical consumer grade parts and accessories.)

Check with tinlee.com. Adding a few UHF channels to an existing system may be fairly easy and cost effective. Combining many with many may leave you with the feeling that you are engineering and paying for a new cable TV head-end.

A more affordable option may be an auxiliary tuner. http://forum.tvfool.com/showthread.php?t=2882
