    Long distance reception question.

    They come down the tower separate then I am combining the signals just before they come in my house, then feed to a Channel Master booster.

    Channel Master 7777 amplifier problems

    Does anyone have any thought on this preamp. It looks like it has adjustable gain which may work for my application. AntennaCraft 10G212 30 dB High Gain TV/FM Mast-Mounted TV Antenna Amplifier (10G212)Spacenerd.

    Channel Master 7777 amplifier problems

    I am on my third amplifier, still no luck. No voltage on the output port. I tried running the tv out directly into my TV and bypassing my Dish DVR, still no signal. I think I may try a different make preamp and see if that works. Spacenerd

    Channel Master 7777 amplifier problems

    Sergei, Thanks for the info. I should go back and explain how I got to where I am with my set up today. I had my antenna XG91 on my roof along with a homemade antenna. Both were being feed into a Channel Master 7777 preamp(older version with two inputs). The homemade antenna was pointed north to...

    Channel Master 7777 amplifier problems

    I am trying to pick up Dayton and Ft. Wayne stations that are 60-70 miles away. That was working just fine using my old 7777 until it took a close lightning strike. Now for some reason or another the old one will only pick up channel 7 out of Dayton ( very strong signal) with a very very weak...

    Channel Master 7777 amplifier problems

To test my connections I hooked up the antenna directly to my Dish DVR I get a weak signal but was still getting a signal. With the amp in place I am getting no signal at all. I did have...

    Channel Master 7777 amplifier problems

    I ordered a Channel Master 7777 amplifier but have had no luck at getting one that works. I am now sending the second back to the supplier. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is there another amp from another supplier that has close to the same specs? Thanks, Spacenerd

    Ok, so I moved my antenna setup from my rooftop to a tower that is 30' tall. My setup is now one antenna (Terrestrial Digital XG91) a rotor and a Channel Master 7777 amp( the one I used before).

    WHIO Dayton

    The problem with WHIO started about two months ago. And today I check up on my antenna and everything appears to be ok. My guess now is that there maybe something wrong with my Channel Master 7777 preamp.

    WHIO Dayton

    I live in Wapakoneta, Ohio and up until a couple weeks ago could pick up WHIO TV CHannel 7 Dayton without a problem. Now I can not get a good enough signal to watch. Dayton is about 60 miles south of me and does have other stations 2, 22, and 45 that are coming in just fine. The signal strength...
