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.
This will get you ABC from Louisville. Is that what you want?

WRTV and WXIN are hit and miss. Yesterday was more miss. I need to experiment and point both towards Indy and see if the Louisville signals are strong enough to be picked up.
I had run the C5 to a spare TV directly and it picked up Louisville VHF & UHF very well. A few weeks ago I ran the C5 to my preamp. That day I was not picking up the VHF ABC at all before, was getting a fairly good 55 on the Tivo strength meter afterwards but all the UHF dropped to unacceptable levels. I'm thinking the C5 is not going to help. Craigslist time?
I was mostly looking to get the Louisville ABC since WRTV is so difficult to get consistently.
So originally I split the coax when it comes in with this:

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.
