Finally did it. Finally got my uncle's antenna up. http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...3cf42d3cb85a65
He can get 3, 10 and 19 fairly well - mid 50s or so. Channel 27 is showing it's ass. That one is in the low to mid 30s. Channel 26 is booming. It's being received in the high 80s. Got analog channel 8. I think it was called TKO. It's actually somewhat clear. Can't get 7, 21, 23 or 31. Guess it'll take some playing around with the antenna to see what can be had, right? Ok, I know it's going to be a stupid question, but I'm going to ask it anyway. How do I know if the amp is working? Would unplugging the power be a way of finding out? He has the Winegard AP 8275. The shortest coax I had to use between the antenna and the preamp was 6 ft. Is that too long? Is that going to effect anything? The coax going from the preamp to the amp is 12 ft. Should I get a better preamp/amp? Is there a better one? He seems to be rather happy that he has something else to watch other than PBS. LOL!! I just want him to be able to get everything that's available to him.

Thanks ya'll for all the help!
