I was mostly looking to get the Louisville ABC since WRTV is so difficult to get consistently.
You should be able to get WHAS ABC from Louisville if the C5 is aimed that way.

I recently added a Tivo mini so I no longer needed to split the signals. So I pulled the splitter and added a coupler. And I lost some reception signal. Is this normal? I would have thought eliminating the split would be a benefit. I put the splitter back on for now.
I can't tell if that's normal because you have made many changes. I would need to see a diagram of what is connected to what and which way the antennas are aimed.

It depends upon how you combine them. If you use a UHF/VHF combiner, AKA UVSJ, it will keep the UHF bowtie signals from Indy separate from the VHF signals from the C5 from Louisville. But, you will not receive UHF signals from Louisville, unless they are strong enough to come from the rear of the DB8e with both of its panels aimed at Indy. A UVSJ is a very low loss device.
So, which way did you do it?
