I'm a beginner when it comes to HD antennas so bare with me if I've made a stupid mistake. I just moved to a new house and I bought the Philips MANT940 just as a temporary solution for my new tv until I get satellite hooked up. I had it indoors right by the TV for about a week and I was able to pick up about half of the stations and about 3 or 4 digital stations very clearly. I bought an antenna mast and decided to mount it outside today. I mounted it on the roof awning and there is not obstructions to the towers (most 5-6 miles away). I replaced the RG59 that came with the antenna and ran RG6 Quad to and from the antenna. Just to clarify here's my set up:

MANT940 ---> Power Injector Module ---> Splitter (5MHz to 2.3GHz) ---> Television

The run from antenna to Power Injector and Splitter is about 25 feet and the run from the splitter to the television is about another 25 feet.

So, now I pick up less channels and on some of the ones I still get, the picture is worse. I'm not sure what could be wrong as the antenna has a better line at the towers. I checked my connections but didn't see any problems. Anyone have any ideas?

you could be having overload problems.

you could be having overload problems.So, what does this mean, need an additional pre-amp?

"Overload" means the signal is too strong, so the last thing you want to do is amplify it further! :eek:
