In "scenario 1" I have no antenna help whatsoever. Whereas in "scenario 2," however cheap, I have some antenna, and for this reason the reception is better. Duh! If my assumption is correct, then the question is how to add an indoor antenna to "scenario 1."] Hi OM, Successful engineering consists of explaining the problem correctly (because it is also the answer). Connect your cheap antenna to the DSS connector labeled TV ANTENNA/CABLE IN (which is an input, you were using it as an output) and when you turn off the DSS, it should allow cable or antenna signals through to be tuned by your TV. This means that the DSS acts as the splitter you are trying to add to this problem. 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC |
