I only have 1 TV and tuner though so I can't feed them to 2 TV's so splitting them would be pointless. SS did say if I combine them the combiner should be the last thing before the TV. I have it the first thing after the line from the antennas which is fed into the preamp.

Well it's probably because they're sharing the preamp. A 2nd would should solve the problem (right?)

it's not just Fox 2, it's all of the stations, even ABC 12 from Flint, as well at WDIV, WTVS, WKBD etc etc. I live on a busy road and cars interfere with the signals on everything!

Yeah so the antenna alone doesn't have VHF gain but with a VHF/UHF preamp it does. Obviously both retailers I asked think the AP8700 would be enough (17 db gain VHF) too.

Their website also says "VHF range 45 miles". "UHF only" actually means "UHF gain only". Both my antennas are supposedly UHF only but they both receive VHF fine with my preamp. Both channels are VHF High though, I don't know if they'd get VHF Low, since there's none of those around here. I was...

Also my RS U75R says it's UHF only but ABC 12 from Flint is 5x5.

Their website says it gets both and Fox 2 comes in good most of the time, except when traffic is too heavy. Pick up FREE Digital TV with Channel Master digital HDTV Antenna CM-4228HD for the best TV antenna reception

When a lot of cars drive by at once, the stations from Detroit get all garbled. The video freezes or drops out, as does the audio. The techies call it "multipath interference" I believe. A local place and Solid Signal both recommended the Winegard AP8700, so I'm going to get that. Now if only...

Those new inventions called automobiles interfere with my signal.

I can get them fine except when traffic is too heavy. Bigger antenna isn't needed.

Where did I say distribution amp? I want a preamp.

60 miles under optimal conditions. The stations I try to watch on it break up though.

I have a Channel Master CM-4428HD mounted 30' AGL. What pre-amp do I need to receive stations that are 50+ miles away?

Actually 2.5 and I posted it last week, bout time they edited the title.
