Hi Teleview and ADTech,
I worked on this over the weekend. A combination of both of your suggestions has gotten this working for the most part. I changed out the splitter and since I had an indoor/oudoor 4-way amplifier that provided a reasonable gain I used that instead of a splitter. This immediately solved the issue with the TV that had the 50 foot cable run. However, that TV could not get channel 7 so I tried the Double Rescan. That did not work so I went outside and adjusted the antennae to 356 degrees and after some trial and error I have over 100 channels on two TVs and 67 channels on the TV with the 50 foot run. I have all the channels I wanted on all 3 sets so that is good.
I did not ground the amplifier so my question is since things are working do I leave that alone or is it still required to ground the amplifier and what is the risk if I don't? If so, where do I ground it as the amplifier is under the antennae mast against the outside wall of the house. I could ground it to the antennae base, the wood itself under the guttering, or to the guttering. Let me know.
I did not change out any cables as that will be the next step if the system starts to become unstable.
Thanks to both of you for your help.
