Tv Antennas and Reception

Yes use the coax that is used with the dish. The coax should be wired starting from one location and out from that location a coax goes to each Tv location. At the starting point of the coaxes , use a plain splitter for how many tv's will be connected 2 or 3 , a 2way or a 3way splitter. For the reception of NBC , ABC , CBS , etc. to north. Point the antenna to the north. The Tv antenna should be 40 feet high from ground level. Go to the >>Start MAPS<< part of tvfool and put in different antenna heights , the NM(dB) signal strength needs to be positive 10 or more and the higher the signal strength the better. If the antenna is 30 feet or lower the signal strength drops off very fast into the negative numbers.
