DHC, how does the Antennas Direct Antenna work for you?

I bought a RCA mast style, then bought the amplifier...it was worse. I ended up returning the $75 worth of RCA stuff and am using a flat panel RCA 360 degree in house one that gets me two more channels than I am "supposed" to be able to get. About $30, direct attach to the Tablo, and almost all in full 1080HD.

I am using an older Antennas Direct DB4. It brings in all the stations from Lookout Mountain at excellent signal strength (about 30 miles away). Couple of days ago I put a 3-way splitter on the unamplified coax cable and the Tablo connection still reads all channels with excellent signal strength - the only exception being channel 59 which is now moderate strength.

The newer version of the antenna I have is called the ClearStream 2V (https://www.antennasdirect.com/store...V-Antenna.html).

BTW, the reason for the splitter is I now feed the cable to; (a) the Tablo for recording, (b) the HDTV for appointment viewing and (c) the HD Radio input on the receiver. I was surprised to learn of so many OTA HD radio signals on sidebands of the more popular stations.

IHTH

PS - you can order that ClearView antenna from your local Walmart. They even have them on the shelf in a few. FYI
