Preaching to the choir on the amplifier, I've never known them to be useful for anything other than overcoming cabling and/or splitter losses. I tried it earlier but fully expected it to fail and was not at all surprised when it did.
No real way to shoot around that house. I'd have to put the antenna in my front yard and bury a cable back to the house. Don't think the landlord would go for that and it would look kind of foolish even if she would.
Sounds like the 2016 is the way to go. I'm going to sit on my existing setup and see what happens when the foliage comes into play. No sense in worrying about something that hasn't even happened yet. If it does degrade I'll pick up the 2016. If not I'll stick with the existing setup -- why mess with something that works? I will need to put a screen back in that window when summer arrives but I figure I can replace the metal screen with a nylon one. It will be just as effective at keeping the bugs out but shouldn't have much impact on RF.
Any other suggestions or advice for my situation? It seems straightforward enough.
