    Using an antenna splitter for 4 tvs

    I entered the address and clicked 'go'. The pin apparently kept staying over Topeka, the original location. I moved the pin between Lexington and where I live, the rural area in Georgetown. Then, it showed Lex stations. I live in a heavily wooded 5 acres. My attic is above the top of the trees...

    Using an antenna splitter for 4 tvs

    In real life experience this list is not accurate. I am sitting in front of my tv and checking ota stations. These are all from Lexington. NBC-18 and 3 subs all good. CBS-27 and 4 subs bad. all of are pixilated. (I once rotated the Trek brand antenna just an inch. They were all good for a...

    Using an antenna splitter for 4 tvs

    Thank you Stuart. if you don't mind answering this question...... Does the length of the cable from splitter or amplifier to tvs (the distance to different locations) and/or the age of the tvs determine the signal quality? For instance, my bedroom tv on the second floor is almost 15 year old...

    Using an antenna splitter for 4 tvs

    Such quick responses. I appreciate all of you. My antenna cable (the end in the basement) has an electric plug. I connected this plug into surge protector. I assume it makes the signal stronger. I read here that sometimes it makes the signal too strong and degrade the reception from some ota...

    How to stream just few news channels (CNN, MSNBC)?

    When it comes to streaming on a daily basis, I am completely clueless. I am not trying to replace everything I am currently getting with Dish Welcome package. The goal is ditch Dish which is costing me about $70 a month with Hopper 3 and 3 Joeys. Not interested getting fibo or youtube tv's...
