As I have stated when just one TV is hooked up all is good. No matter which TV it is.

The main reason I got that antenna was that it was on clearance. I got it for 19.99. Cheap.

I am assuming that it is aimed correctly also as it does work on one TV at a time, without the amp.

I am using a Monster 2.0GHz splitter. There is one input and two outputs. So they are all filled and I have made sure that it is done correctly. I also thought it may be the splitter so I tried another one that was installed with the satellite equipment. Got the same result. Choppy signal and some channels dont show.

Also I have my antenna pointing E-NE on a compass, is this correct?

I'm glad you spent less than $20

This shows how to aim various antenna types, http://www.kyes.com/antenna/pointing/pointing.html The rabbit ears diagram is the closest match to the ANT-806. Imagine that you are standing, facing ENE, with your arms extended like a bird... The ANT-806 should be aligned the same as your arms.
