My issue is that without the preamp I only get like 7 channels after my feed goes through the antenna line, into the splitter and then out into my individual TV's.
I should be getting at least 26 stations. I would get 26+ stations with a cheap indoor/outdoor with a built in preamp mounted in the attic.
My neighbor, 2 doors down has a cheap preamp-ed indoor antenna that gets stations 51 miles to the west and some 67 miles to the east also. Of course I doubt his is directional.
Whether it makes sense or not, testing both with a pre-amped antenna and without, I get much better reception and more stations with a preamp installed.
In this particular circumstance it seems like my preamp and or power injector is bad.
