I am glad things are working so well.

You might find, as I did, that after a few weeks some of the stations have minor issues. If you wanted to get the best performance out of your ANT751 make sure that the balun drops straight down at a 90deg angle from the boom. I learned this trick inadvertently when my balun failed. Here is my story; http://forum.tvfool.com/showpost.php...1&postcount=48

In your case, with an attic install, you don't need a wire extension just make sure the balun hangs straight down away from the boom. You won't have issues with the wind so its an easy mod.

The other tip is to re-zero your TV tuner after you have everything in its final configuration. The TV tuner can save parameters from previous scans that are not optimal for the final configuration. To re-zero the tuner buy one of these terminating caps http://www.techtoolsupply.com/Produc...uctCode=F-59TH Unplug your antenna from the TV input and cap the TV input with the terminator cap and rescan your stations. You should get zero channels. Plug your antenna back in and rescan and you are good to go.
