I have two RG6 qual shield coax lines running side-by-side from the attic down into the basement. One is hooked up to the Dish satellite, the other to a Terk HDTVa antenna. With the Terk hooked up directly to my 622, I get a number of locals with decent signal strength. With the Terk in the attic running on the long coax run, I can't pull in hardly anything. If I aim it just right, I can barely pull in WGN that normally gets around 100 on the signal meter. I have tested the OTA antenna coax line with a MultiMedia Cable Tester and it tests fine.
1. Has anyone had any issues running an OTA line side-by-side next to a coax line with the Dish signal?
2. Do I need to somehow boost the Terk signal because it's running on a long coax run? What exactly do I need to buy to increase the signal strength?
3. Can I use a Super Home Node to run everything on 1 line? I already have diplexers on both ends for the backfeed as well as splitters on both ends to allow the UHF antenna to also be in the attic. Can I add OTA to the single line using the Super Home Node?
Thanks in advance for your help!
