Thank you so much for your tips and suggestions!
I have decided to start with a simple system focusing on my local channels.
I am liking the Antennas Direct C2 on a chimney mount mast. Should put it about 30' in the air.
I want to feed signal to 4 TVs. One will be about 50' of cable from the antenna and the rest between 20' and 30' runs.
I have a couple of questions about wiring.
(1) Should I start out with a passive splitter or am I going to need a powered unit?
(2) Does it matter where the splitter is located? I am thinking to run a single antenna lead from the antenna straight down into the basement and split the signal from there. As an alternative, I could shorter the distance from the antenna to the splitter by splitting the signal in the attic and run to the TVs from there. However, more total cable will be needed for this second option.
