Individual antenna tests, not combined, assuming no amplifier installed:
1) Does the C2V reliably pick up everything except WRBK?
2) Does the 91X reliably pick up WRBK (ignore all other channels)?
If the answer to both #1 and # 2 is "Yes", then combine the antennas using the reversed splitter and re-evaluate reception for ALL received channels.
Are all channels reliable now?
If "yes", you are done.
If "no" and the 'problem' channel was previously reliable with the individual antenna, you need the AC7 combiner.

I am sorry if you interpreted my response the wrong way. I am simply trying to understand. From what I can tell a splitter is being used to combine the signals, then goes into the distribution amp, and another splitter is being used to send the signal to three televisions.
I can confidently say the answer to question 1 and 2 is yes. Signals are good on the channels. Fox KRBK remains the weakest but has been consistent at 79 to 82 percent signal strength since eliminating the Wineguard preamp and changing to the 91XG antenna.
What I need further clarification on is regarding the reversed splitter/AC 7 combiner. Is this "reversed spitter" a special splitter that needs to be purchased? I am not familiar with the term. I am also unclear how using a reversed splitter or an AC7 combiner helps with my reception/why it is needed. If you could explain, I would appreciate it.
