Sorry it took me a while to implement some of the suggestions... I had to wait for a decent opportunity to move the antenna outside. I moved the CS2 outside on the roof and grounded it and ran some RG6 (not quad shield, not sure how much diff that would make).
Its currently pointed at about 255 degrees towards the syracuse market stations and I took the splitter out of the loop and used this on one tuner of the HDHomeRun Dual. I did not take off the reflector screen at this point as I figured I would try it first as it was designed to be used. I'll attach some screenshots of the hdhomerun config signal meter. I know its maybe not the most accurate or correct measure but it hopefully helps you see where I may be having issues and need help.
In regards to 29 and 47.. they seem to pop in and out and sometimes are viewable and sometimes not.
Thanks again!
