The HD-Homerun has two tuners, so two cables. All in all, 5 tuners.
I tried an experiment over the weekend. I took an old pair of junky non-amplified rabbit ears and put them up in the garage where the new antenna will hopefully be, put a long enough cable on it, and wired it into the splitter where the cable comes in, instead of the cable from the street, then went and tried to scan for some channels on the TV. I found 5 digital channels on my third try, but they didn't come in very well. They would keep cutting out. So my thought is, since it is behind stucco, first of all, the amp on the antenna will likely help out with that. If that alone does not give it enough signal, then the power distributer might be helpful. I do want to try it without that first, I just got it as a "just in case" measure. I can always return it if I don't end up needing it. I just don't want to be stuck without it if I do end up needing it.
