While its been 10 years since I joined this is my first post as I've always found my answers here and never needed to post a question.
I am looking to redesign/upgrade my OTA setup.
I am in the west end of Toronto, and on the roof I have a 4 bow tie pointed at the CN tower and an 8 bow tie pointed towards Buffalo/Niagara/Hamilton, the signals are combined on the antenna mast.
There is about 60 feet of coax into the house where it connects to a Channel Master distribution amplifier. One signal goes to an HD Home Run Extend for TV/PVR and a couple of the others go to receivers for FM radio. The only local station I like is htz fm, and it helps pull the signal.
Lately the signal for the Buffalo area stations has been up and down, specifically NBC and CBS, my distribution amp is almost 12 years old so its probably time to replace it.
The coax comes into the house and runs about another 15 feet before it attaches to the distribution amp in the "IT Closet".
I'm thinking of splitting the signal in the house, with one cable going to a TV amplifier that filters FM etc... And the other cable going to my receivers for FM.
I have looked at the Channel Master 7777hd which filters and boosts but came here for some advice instead of just clicking buy.
What's the best way to accomplish this without going back on to the roof?
What equipment should I use inside? Is there a better brand/type of splitter to use? What about the TV amp?
If I split the signal, where should I do so? Where it comes into the house or in the "IT Closet"?
If this has already been covered could someone post the link? Searching with a 4yo hanging off me is tricky, I probably should have waited till after bed time to do this research.
Thanks in advance!!!
