Hey all,
We cut the cord back in March and setup a Mohu Leaf for our living room and bedroom TVs, signal was good going through a 2way splitter as long as the antenna was mounted in a windows facing West. Needless to say, wife got tired of the cables running down the hallway and across the front door area, so last night I started to mount it in the attic and run new RG6 Quad through the walls. Cables are wired up, one 20ft run to the basement from the attic where we will connect a new 4-way splitter to hook up all 3 bedrooms and living room, although currently the splitter is not connected as I set it up to test the signal in the living room. The signal is not very good, half the channels are now gone, and most that are there are breaking up.
So its time to get a real attic antenna but I need suggestions on which one to go with and whether or not I would need a preamp. I have attached my TV Fool and FM fool outputs for reference. I will also note that there is a 30ft maple tree on the west side of our house where most of the channels will be coming from. Attic construction is wood planks with asphalt shingles.
I was looking at the Mohu Sky 60 or AmazonBasics Sky, both are good for 50-60 miles* and both come with a preamp. Our local BestBuy also carries AntennaDirect.
