So not trying to flog a dead horse. And I know the graphic here is very simple: Can I install a Power Pass Splitter? Coaxial #1 from Mast Amplifier to Power Pass IN on splitter. Coaxial #2 from OUT /Power Pass to Power Inserter. Power Inserter to Tivo Bolt/TV 1. Coaxial #3 from Power Pass OUT to...

Thanks So my TV signal does not like the RCA DT2SP 2-way splitter. Which is 5 MHz - 1GHz and discontinued. Would I get a better signal with the 2 GHZ. Mark

From the antenna to the splitter is about 10' . And from the splitter to the TV;s is about 20' each Question: What is the difference tween a 5MHz -1 GHz & 5MHz - 2.GHz splitter ? Mark

Hello all.. What type/model of splitter do you recommend for a rooftop antenna? My Tivo/TV dramatically loses channels when I use an RCA splitter that was sitting in a box for years. I would be splitting to 2 TV's... Thanks all! Mark

I figured out that the CM Pre Amp on the antenna must be at fault. Because when I bypass the rooftop antenna and hooked up an interior HD panel antenna, all my local channels returned. I am considering getting the GE 33685 Pro Outdoor Antenna. Any thoughts on that ? Thanks Mark

Hi all Which TV do you think has the best built in tuner? I am currently running my rooftop antenna (CM) through a Tivo Bolt. But The Tivo seems to drop channels and sometimes comes and goes.. I'd like to bypass the Tivo and go thru a stand alone OTA DVR... Thanks a bunch Mark

Do you guys think I should forget about the CM-777 and get an in-line amp instead ? Maybe the CM-7777 is overkill and is causing some of the problems? Also I have heard the because the BOLT splits signal over 4 tuners that it weakens it. Is there a way to avoid that? Mark

Good morning all! Thank you for all your constructive suggestions.. I connected a different TV. So the current setup is: Antenna - CM7777-Tivo-TV With the new TV it pulls in 20 more channels. Does TIVO Bolt have a built in tuner also? Cause I notice if I connect the coaxial directly to the new...

Update: My antenna is exactly 35' above ground. clear sight with no trees etc. My issue is that I get a local channel KCRADT just fine of course. But another bay area channel KGO35-DT comes in at the same signal strength but no video. I realize that there is a great difference in distance. Just...

I'm aiming for San Francisco. The signals are good but the video does not come in. I live in a valley with bay area being about 70 miles away. I have an advantage 100 mile antenna.

Yes PreAmp.. so sorry :)

Hi all Any recommendations for a power amp? My specs: CM Advantage 100 antenna TiVo Bolt Thanks

Hey Boba.. Oh, the cost is not a factor at all. I said ouch because of the length. I was just trying to confirm that it was indeed 14 feet long. That's a very long antenna. I have no problem installing an antenna of that length. As long as I am assured of the occasional capture of San...

"The Winegard HD7698P has been receiving a lot of compliments from users for pulling in distant stations. It's designed for both VHF and UHF. It's quite large, though, and fairly expensive" Is the antenna boom that runs horizontally? The specs on this antenna say it is 14 feet long.. ouch! Mark

How about the HD7694P ? Mark

Recommendations for a VHF-UHF high gain antenna for San Francisco pointing? Mark

Hi Larry. I haven't been using any kind of amp this past year. I think it was saturating my locals. update is that this morning when its in the low 40's calm and dark, I am able to get SF stations. If I do get an amp, should I get an additional antenna/coaxial that only has that amp, along with...

I just moved my current antenna to 218 degrees towards SF. Most of the stations are coming in around 60 out of 100 on the signal meter. Still not getting SF stations. Are these stations VHF? Should a rotor be attached to the VHF antenna only? Should the UHF be stationary? I had a rotor on SAT...

KQED KPIX & KRON are the main channels I would like to get. Mainly because the news content is so much more broader in SF than here. Also KQED PBS in SF has better content than KVIE Sac. Mark

I am 80 miles east of San Francisco, in Sacramento. KVIE is local and KQED is in SF. I realize that I am only guaranteed SF stations on a good weather day & and only during the day. But I seemed to have lost them altogether. The same with my local channels. The signals have weakened over the...

Hi pamajestic. I am using the antenna to get digital channels and feed through my Tivo so I can record. Not sure which are UHF & which are VHF. I tried to see on TVFOOL, but hard to figure out. Am I to understand that I would need a VHF antenna adding to the mast, along with the UVSJ and a...

I am considering swapping my DB4E Antenna for a Channel Master CM-3020. I have been losing local channels recently. Bear in mind that I live in the Sacramento Valley, do you think this 100 mile range antenna will help my channel acquisition? Right now my mast is 10 feet high on the roof of a...

Thanks Jim5506. Any suggestions regarding the VHF antenna? Mark
