The gain of the DB8 is not needed in this application (though it's directivity may be an asset). How long a cable run is between the antenna and TV? Are there any splitters and if so, are all ports terminated in a tuner or resistor cap? (I'm trying to determine if the existing antenna is likely overloading your tuner.)
Thanks.. No splitters or amplifiers.. It just goes from my antenna, down my chimney, into my attic, and into my TV.. I'd say the cable is between 25'-50'..
