    Split before the pre-amp, or after?

    This looks like EXACTLY what I need. This eliminates my concern of signal loss by splitting before the pre-amp, since I'm this thing will split the amplified signal out of the pre-amp. Do I have that correct? Thank you for the excellent input!

    Split before the pre-amp, or after?

    Splitting between the power supply and TV would require me to run another cable back up two stories, which I'm trying to avoid. The antenna is directly above the bedroom where I want the 2nd feed to go, so I want to split either between the antenna and the pre-amp, or between the pre-amp and...

    Split before the pre-amp, or after?

    Thanks for the quick response! Just want to clarify by "after" do you mean between the antenna and the pre-amp, or between the pre-amp and the power supply? Right now, my power supply is behind my TV, and the pre-amp is in the attic. I interpret your answer to mean that I should install...

    Split before the pre-amp, or after?

    I am looking to split my antenna feed near the antenna (in my attic), and need some input: I have a CM 7777 pre-amp - should I split the signal BEFORE the pre-amp, or should I split the output of the pre-amp (in between the pre-amp and the power source)? Those are the only two options...

    CM 4228 Mounted Sideways?

    Rick0725 - you are right, I think I must've misread the specs somewhere... I was thinking that it was 39.5" up and down. I think I might be OK to mount it up and down in the attic. Thanks everyone for the posts, sorry to kick off a debate based on my misreading specs!

    CM 4228 Mounted Sideways?

    I am thinking of buying a CM 4228 for an attic mount, but due to low clearance, it might have to be setup sideways. By sideways, I mean, positioning it so that the side that would normally be on top would be moved 90 degrees in one direction. I would still face the antenna toward the...

    Need help resolving OTA Dropouts

    If I got the 4228, could I use a combiner (or something like that) and hook my existing antenna (for VHF), and the 4228 (for UHF) together?

    Need help resolving OTA Dropouts

    Thanks for the info! I think I may need to go ahead and measure for the 4228 to see if there's room. Do you think it will pick up my one VHF station (broadcasting on 14)? If not, will I need to use a separate VHF (maybe my current antenna) and a combiner of some sort?

    Need help resolving OTA Dropouts

    I am having trouble consistently pulling in all the OTA Locals with my Dish 622 receiver. I tried tweaking the direction the antenna is pointed, and the best I can do is the following. These are the only channels I really care about: 53.1 - 75%, drops out alot, unwatchable 6.1 - 100% (only...

    New OTA Antenna, no HD receiver yet - what should I see on HD channels?

    That helps - I guess I was expecting to see the picture, just in regular rez I was wondering if a snowy analog signal = less than optimal HD signal. The antenna Dish offers costs $99 (based on what I've read), and I live in the middle of a large woods, so I wanted a more robust antenna...

    New OTA Antenna, no HD receiver yet - what should I see on HD channels?

    I am getting a Dish Network 622 on 3/11, but have been doing some prep work before the install. I put this antenna in my attic and hooked it up to my TV. The coax run to my TV is 100 feet. Two questions: 1. Even though my TV isn't ready for HD until I get my 622, I flipped to some of the...
