You might want to put a 75 ohm terminator on that open port on your distribution amp. An open port can allow "ghosting" and other interference to occur.
How far in the sticks do you live? You'd do better with the antenna mounted outside if you're that far away from the towers. I have an Antennas Direct ClearStream 2V mounted outside about 15 feet off the ground feeding 3 TV's through a 3 way splitter with no amplification and a longest cable run between antenna and TV of about 70 feet. With this setup, I get full signal strength reading on all but 6 channels from the towers 18 miles away. My channel scan yields 60 channels where I live.
if you have a rotator, why did you point the antenna in two different directions. You have halved the signal when doing that. since the antenna is inside the house, obviously, your not far from the tv towers. Put that mess outside and you will have more channels by eliminating the building interference.
very interesting & fantastic lectures,well done .

You should not coil up the cables. It makes a chock. Not good
I was told never loop coax cable. Put it in a figure 8. Any thoughts?
Coiling up excessive cable causes attenuation (signal loss). Best to cut it off.

i want to pickup tv signals from New york city and central new jersey .
@@9bofunggardens We pull in 77 channels from NYC using an outside antenna. Its way more stations than we need.
Where's the ground wire?
Good point will connect ground wire I have a copper pipe in the ground with ground wire running up to the attic
PRONOUNCE: " DISTRIBUTION" NOT: DISTABUTION!!!!!!
