Many thanks to all that have read this thread and or provided insight to my goal of OTA! And ultimately Cutting-The-Cord!! I have come a long way in just a few weeks and this is the place that answered my questions and had plenty of advice to help me out! I will attempt to continue to update...

I'll probably do this to see what I find. I have plans to replace the coax coming from the antenna's anyway.. I think it's cheap stuff that I had laying around and currently is longer than is required. Though it seems to provide enough signal that one TV can get almost twice the channels as the...

I will admit I haven't dealt with too many antennas but this one looked to be well designed and constructed! And it doesn't seem to have any problem with my distance and edges....

I am currently split to only 2 TVs. Some day if I find the need I could change to a 3-way and feed a 3rd TV. And might do it anyway just to experiment one of these days. BTW the TV that gets worse reception is also the line that I am inserting power into. Not sure that matters just pointing it...

Well I got the new VHF antenna in and got it and the other (3 week old) UHF mounted on a new section of schedule 40 top rail and moved it all to the south end of the house where the DTV dish still calls home. Got the mast (20' for now) standing up and bracketed to the south wall and pointed...

BTW.... Ready Or Not!!!! ...............As of this morning 3/20/18 at 12:00am the DirecTV cord has been cut!!!!! After 15 plus years!!

I see! :) Well the 2nd antenna I was anticipating is indeed a VHF only and maybe that's what will solve this problem. So do you suppose I'm not receiving any VHF at this point, as the only other VHF stations at this point I am receiving, but they both also have UHF. I guess I just need to pay...

I've still got a lot to learn on the new OTA stuff!

I need to make a better "list" of the ones I am getting and or compare with the TVFOOL report, that and the real/virtual channels still are confusing to me. But I'm pretty sure I am not receiving the ABC stations to this point. I'm pretty sure that's the only major I haven't seen yet, that and...

And while I'm on a roll!! RCA Outdoor 16dB VHF 22dB UHF TV Antenna Preamplifier (TVPRAMP1R) from Solid Signal For some reason it won't take the link to Amazon for this item...

How about that... I no longer have to make you dig through the Newark site! It would have been handy to know when I signed up about the limited ability to post a link.... so I wonder what post count got me over the hump?

I for some reason didn't expect to be able to post links yet and didn't try.... that's what happened to me at the beginning of this thread.... Let's see if I can now...

I'll have to find someone's iPhone to borrow or find out what the Android equivalent is. But that does sound like a good idea since my expensive OLED (which I really really love) doesn't have a signal meter.... :( I guess till then I'll check to see if my little 48" mid price Samsung LED has...

The antenna I got is Manufacturer: STELLAR LABS Manufacturer Part No: 30-2440 - a 60 mile yagi. The preamp is the RCA TVPRAMP1Z VHF gain: 16dB and UHF gain: 22dB My TVFOOL report is a pic I inserted within the first few posts of this thread. At 15' where I'm at now I look to be working with...

Yes I have the amp attached up high with about a 30" coax. And the inserter is at the TV.
