I recently returned from vacation and now the signal that was in high 70's low 80's is now in the 50's and I get none or limited signal. All the stations are at 37 degrees and about 32 miles. One station at...

    Is there an advantage to variable gain distribution amp to pre amp?

    After all this I'm confussed and switching to Fios!! Only kidding !!! I am going to try the Motorola signal booster first, and have odered it from a vendor who will take it back in 30 days, in case it doesn't solve the problem.

    Is there an advantage to variable gain distribution amp to pre amp?

    The Wineguard HDA 200 has a seperate power supply. I prefer Wineguard or Channel Master. Look at the specs for the HDA 200 and see if it will work. Also I have a Hex crimper. Can it be used? The F connectors are really tight.

    Is there an advantage to variable gain distribution amp to pre amp?

    Is it possible to run two leads from single OTA to reduce splitters

    I have two 722k with OTA, an FM receiver and three TV. The most distant stations are 35 miles away and my signal is in the 70-77 range. Would signal improve if I ran second lead and eliminated some of the splitting. Was considering Wineguard pre amp AP 8780, but would prefer not to use...
