I apologize if this is not the correct forum but I have a question about HDTV antennas. I currently have a 622 and live in Richmond, VA (no HD locals through DN scheduled here). I read another thread about getting the OTA HD channels and took the plunge.
I purchased a few antennas that did not work well and finally settled on a Terk TV55. I looked at antennaweb's website and have the antenna mounted outside in the best place to receive the digital local signals (tried 15 different locations outside). I live about 7 miles from all of the broadcast antennas. I have a long cable run of about 100 feet so I purchased a Terk In-line amp and have it installed towards the end of the run (closer to the 622). CBS, ABC, and Fox come in very well and look amazing (80-90 signal strength). NBC comes in and out (around 70 signal strength). I'm so close to everything being perfect but NBC drops out quite a bit.
Is it possible to use more than one in line amplifier on a cable run of 100ft? I don't want to short a circuit but I feel like if I had a bit more amplification, it would solve my problem. Any other suggestions would be welcome. Thank you very much, in advance, for your suggestions and help.
OTA HD is AMAZING!!
