I have a huge WInegard Platinum series antenna (THANKS VOOM!). This antenna is actively amplified, it is just VERY directional. I do get my locals with 95%+ signal but I have to wonder if it makes any difference if you apply DC voltage from the STB to a non amplified antenna. I guess it just doesn't matter? Any tips appreciated.
How about if you use a diplexor down at your TV and run a piece of coax to your NTSC tuner, does the DC voltage bother the NTSC tuner or are the coupled with a capacitor to block the DC? Again, any tips or comments are welcome, I just don't want to be slowly damaging things over time from a clever setup that seems to work fine right now.
Thanks,
