Hi,
We’ve been reading through this forum and after seeing your advice, we'd appreciate guidance regarding what you think might be the best antenna and set-up for OTA tv.
Here’s the report:
http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...46ae44e55327d2
Some details in case they help:
-Rabbit ears hooked up to our HTPC (Haughppaugh TV Tuner Card 2250 ) pulls in ABC, CBS, and sometimes Fox and CW. All of them pixilate at some time or other with Fox and CW being the most finicky.
-Stations we’re interested in (HD versions):
PBS
FOX
CW
ABC
NBC
CBS
-Location wise a bit lower in elevation from the rest of our neighborhood, lots of tall trees (poplars, southern pines).
-Roof installation is not an option at this time, so our attic will have to do. 2 story house with a day basement, so the back of the house which faces the direction of the majority of transmitters is essentially 3 stories. Roof is a very steep pitch, asphalt shingles over OSB sheathing.
-Preferred method is to run the antenna cable to the media home run in the basement, approx. 50 ft. Then feed that to the rest of the house via a splitter of some sort, longest run at 50 ft.
-Total number of outlets to use actively is 3, but eventually may need/want to connect other existing outlets (up to 7 or 8).
-Currently have Leviton 3x8 enhanced RF distribution module, 1 GHz (Cat No. 47692-3By) unused and available. Here’s the link:

Thanks for the help!
