Case Closed: CBS at 80, NBC at 86, ABC at 86!!!! Fox at 0 :(

[Joseph S]

Looks like I may not have a problem with reception on the first three anymore! I could have had CBS at 80 instead of 60 for all these months with complete control from inside my apt.

Here's how I solved the problem without replacing the community antenna with a channel master.

- Radio Shack UHF/VHF Hi/VHF Lo combiner/splitter
- Roof Antenna plugged into VHF Hi
- Zenith Silver Sensor plugged into UHF.
- output to HiPix.

I tried several options:
1) Splitting the Roof three times and sending them through the 3 filters
2)Silver Sensor alone
3)Roof alone
4)Combining the Roof and Silver Sensor before sending it through the UHF filter.
5)Silver Sensor split twice for VHF Hi and UHF
6)Silver Sensor in UHF and Roof in VHF Hi

Using the Silver Sensor alone left me with a signal around 60 for CBS and mid 70s for the others so I never planned on plugging that into the UHF slot. When I unplugged my roof connection from my "roof+SS" into UHF filter I was amazed to see an 81 on CBS.

Apparently multipath was the reason my Silver Sensor wasn't doing as well and option #6 works perfectly. I still get 0/100 for Fox though. The Silver Sensor gets about 3 points less than the roof antenna for VHF Hi (PBS)

Happy Thanksgiving!
