First of all thank you everyone for all of your help. I purchased a Clearstream 4&5 and I am using them together and they are working very well with a direct line to the TV. Now a second problem has crept up on me. When I run the antenna through my Steren 550-010 video telecom master moduel I loose so much signal that most of my channels are un-viewable. I expected this to happen because of the loss associated with a 6 way splitter so I purchased a Leviton 48210-va variable gain distribution amplifier expecting that to take care of the signal loss. To my surprise the amplifier has not been able to make the loss on some of the channels.
Does anyone think that maybe a pre-amp mounted up on the antenna mast might perform a better job than the leviton distribution amp? I have checked all of the coax connections with a Klein coax explorer tester and they all test good. My setup has my cable running directly from the antenna to the distribution hub and then splittling 6 times to various places in my house. My longest cable run is 35 feet.
Here are my questions:
1. Should I get a pre-amp?
2. Will a pre-amp do a better job than the distribution amp?(my run from the antenna to the distribution hub is 35 feet)
3. If I get a pre-amp should I use it in conjunction with the distribution amp?
4. any other suggestions would be appreciated
